Shared reality is facilitated by social mentalizing, that is, inferring the inner states such as beliefs and traits of another person. Recent advances in neuroscientific research on mentalizing have pinpointed the role of (a) the temporo-parietal junction in the switching of perspectives from self-to-other, and (b) the medial prefrontal cortex in holding stable neural representation of personality traits and the persons that hold these traits. Furthermore, the recently discovered role of the cerebellum in social mentalizing is introduced, and its potential role in inferring action sequences. These three processes are relevant preconditions for shared understanding because they allow people to adjust their own beliefs and adequately invest their talents by taking into account others' beliefs and traits, and so shape a shared reality in which differences in beliefs, opinions and talent are appreciated and integrated.
共同现实是通过社会心理理论来实现的，也就是说，从另一个人的内在状态（如信念和特征）中推断出来。最近神经科学对心理理论的研究进展指出了（a）颞顶联合区在从自我到他人的观点切换中的作用，以及（b）内侧前额叶皮层在保持人格特质和持有这些特质的人的稳定神经表征中的作用。此外，还介绍了最近发现的小脑在社会心理理论中的作用，以及它在推断动作序列中的潜在作用。这三个过程是共同理解的前提条件，因为它们允许人们通过考虑他人的信念和特征来调整自己的信念，并充分发挥自己的才能，从而塑造一个共同的现实，在这个现实中，信念、观点和才能的差异得到欣赏和整合。
