Understanding what another agent can see relates functionally to the understanding of what they can do. We propose that spatial perspective taking and perceiving other's affordances, while two separate spatial processes, together share the common social function of predicting the behavior of others. Perceiving the action capabilities of others allows for a common understanding of how agents may act together. The ability to take another's perspective focuses an understanding of action goals so that more precise understanding of intentions may result. This review presents an analysis of these complementary abilities, both in terms of the frames of reference and the proposed sensorimotor mechanisms involved. Together, we argue for the importance of reconsidering the role of basic spatial processes to explain more complex behaviors.
理解另一个主体所能看到的内容在功能上与理解他们所能做的事情相关。我们提出，空间视角采择和感知他人的可供性虽是两个不同的空间过程，但共同具有预测他人行为的社会功能。感知他人的行动能力有助于共同理解主体如何共同行动。采择他人视角的能力聚焦于对行动目标的理解，从而可能产生对意图更精确的理解。本综述从参照系和所涉及的感觉运动机制方面，对这些互补能力进行了分析。我们共同认为，重新审视基本空间过程在解释更复杂行为方面的作用非常重要。
