Simulation Theory is one of the theoretical positions as to how people predict and understand other people’s mental states and actions.On the basis of reviewing of the studies of simulation theory which includes the nature of theory of mind
the nature of children’s theory of mind development and empirical studies
we conclude that the independency of simulation in the studies of theory of mind is challenged by other theories
especially by "Theory of Theory".Then
how to work with other theories might be future demanding for Simulation Theory.
