Abstract
Theory of Mind (ToM) consists of the cognitive skills we utilize in predicting people’s behavior by considering their intentional mental states. ToM can be explored in a coordination task between two people in which there is no explicit communication. This implicit understanding is defined as tacit coordination. There are multiple factors which affect the ability to make use of ToM such as Working Memory (WM); degrees of empathy, social anxiety and autism. In this research, behavioral data is collected from an N-back task with no explicit communication to measure accuracy. This data was tested for correlation with each paired session’s levels of empathy, social anxiety and autistic traits. No significant correlations were deducted for empathy and social anxiety. Autism showed weak correlation with the tacit coordination performance.
