Abstract

Consciousness is a cognitive function that maintains its eternal character as long as it is strengthened and enriched by the optimal functioning of the corresponding neural networks of the brain, which are stimulated during its activation. The present study explores its relationship with the cognitive functions of the Theory of Mind and Metacognition and briefly explains their approach through Artificial Intelligence. The selection of the bibliographic review contributed to the utilization of the existing scientific knowledge and research data for the most effective analysis and study of the subject. The observations made throughout the research highlight the pivotal role of consciousness in the evolution of the aforementioned cognitive processes, as it is at the core of their development. Essentially, the research seeks to emphasize the importance of consciousness in the functioning of the Theory of Mind and Metacognition, as it serves as the springboard for the perception and understanding of our existence, significantly influencing our further social and cognitive development.
