Abstract

This study investigates the effect of age on a component of social functioning, the ability to reciprocate, and the association between reciprocity and Theory of Mind. Our results indicate that older adults reciprocate less than younger adults and that a greater reciprocal behavior is associated with better perspective-taking.
