Article Synopsis
- Theory of Mind is the ability to understand others' mental states, and recent studies suggest it can be impaired in mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
- This study evaluated 20 MCI patients and 25 healthy participants using two Theory of Mind tasks: a traditional false belief task and a new interaction-based task.
- Results indicated that MCI patients struggled with inferring beliefs in real-life situations, showing different patterns of impairment that could affect their daily social interactions and relationships.

Neurological examination was normal or only showed mild extra-pyramidal signs. Neuropsychological evaluation was only remarkable for mild intellectual impairment suggestive of frontal lobe dysfunction.
