Let 𝓡 be a 2-torsion free unital ring containing a non-trivial idempotent. An additive map 𝛿 from 𝓡 into itself is called a Jordan derivable map at commutative zero point if 𝛿(AB + BA) = 𝛿(A)B + B𝛿(A) + A𝛿(B) + 𝛿(B)A for all A, B ∈ 𝓡 with AB = BA = 0. In this paper, we prove that, under some mild conditions, each Jordan derivable map at commutative zero point has the form 𝛿(A) = 𝜓(A) + CA for all A ∈ 𝓡, where 𝜓 is an additive Jordan derivation of 𝓡 and C is a central element of 𝓡. Then we generalize the result to the case of Jordan higher derivable maps at commutative zero point. These results are also applied to some operator algebras.
