The multicultural experience (i.e., multicultural individuals and cross-cultural experiences) offers the intriguing possibility for (i) an empirical examination of how free-energy principles explain dynamic cultural behaviors and pragmatic cultural phenomena and (ii) a challenging but decisive test of thinking through other minds (TTOM) predictions. We highlight that TTOM needs to treat individuals as active cultural agents instead of passive learners.
多元文化体验（即多元文化个体和跨文化经历）为以下两方面提供了有趣的可能性：一是对自由能原理如何解释动态文化行为和实用文化现象进行实证检验；二是对通过他人心智进行思考（TTOM）的预测进行具有挑战性但决定性的测试。我们强调，TTOM需要将个体视为积极的文化主体，而非被动的学习者。
