Mentalizing refers to our ability to read the mental states of other agents and engages many neural processes. The brain's mirror system allows us to share the emotions of others. Through perspective taking, we can infer what a person currently believes about the world given their point of view. Finally, the human brain has the unique ability to represent the mental states of the self and the other and the relationship between these mental states, making possible the communication of ideas.
心理化是指我们解读他人心理状态的能力，它涉及许多神经过程。大脑的镜像系统使我们能够共享他人的情感。通过换位思考，我们可以根据一个人的观点推断出其当前对世界的看法。最后，人类大脑具有独特的能力来表征自我和他人的心理状态以及这些心理状态之间的关系，从而使思想交流成为可能。
