Theory of mind refers to the abilities underlying the capacity to reason about
one's own and others' mental states. This ability is critical for predicting and
making sense of the actions of others, is essential for efficient communication,
fosters social learning, and provides the foundation for empathic concern.
Clearly, there is incredible value in fostering theory of mind. Unfortunately,
despite being the focus of a wealth of research over the last 40 years relatively
little is known about specific strategies for fostering social perspective taking
abilities. We provide a discussion of the rationale for applying one specific
strategy for fostering efficient theory of mind-that of engaging in "behavioral
synchrony" (i.e., the act of keeping together in time with others). Culturally
evolved collective rituals involving synchronous actions have long been held to
act as social glue. Specifically, here we present how behavioral synchrony tunes
our minds for reasoning about other minds in the process of fostering social
coordination and cooperation, and propose that we can apply behavioral synchrony
as a tool for enhancing theory of mind.
