 Social cognition encompasses a wide spectrum of abilities, enabling us to function properly in interpersonal interactions. Empathy constitutes one prominent ability of social cognition, which represents the human capability of understanding mental state of the other, and responding in sympathetic way Leiberg Anders, 2006. Two sets of theoretical mechanisms were designed in order to explain how empathy is possible. Theory of Mind ToM is usually regarded as a more cognitive mechanism of empathy, in which a theory we posses regarding the other enable us to infer his mental state. Simulation processing is another different mechanism of empathy. In contrast to the ToM perspective, the simulation perspective asserts that understanding the others state of mind is achieved by an inner representation of that mental state in our mind, thus simulating his mental state. Therefore, the simulation theory may be associated with more affective aspects of empathy.
