Recent evidence that young children seem to both understand false belief in one sense, but not in another, has led to two-systems theorizing about mindreading. By analyzing the most detailed two-systems approach in studying social cognition-the theory of mindreading defended by Ian Apperly and Stephen Butterfill-I argue that that even when dutifully constructed, two-systems approaches in social cognition struggle to adequately define the mindreading systems in terms of signature processing limits, an issue that becomes most apparent when investigating mindreading in infancy. I end the article by developing several challenges that face any two-systems account of mindreading.
最近有证据表明，幼儿在某种意义上似乎既理解错误信念，但在另一种意义上又不理解，这引发了关于心理理论的双系统理论。通过分析研究社会认知中最详细的双系统方法——伊恩·阿珀利和斯蒂芬·巴特菲尔所捍卫的心理理论——我认为，即使经过精心构建，社会认知中的双系统方法在根据标志性加工限制充分界定心理理论系统方面仍存在困难，这个问题在研究婴儿的心理理论时最为明显。我在文章结尾提出了任何心理理论的双系统解释所面临的几个挑战。
