【 摘 要 】

For years, experimental psychologists have assumed it is difficult for one person to know the mental states of another because all we can directly experience about each other is observable behavior. As a result, mental states need to be inferred via what has come to be known as a theory of mind. According to contemporary embodiment theorists however, some of whom refer to themselves as enactivist theorists, the mental states of others are not internally isolated at all, with some arguing social cognition is direct (Gallagher, 2008, 2015) while others propose it can sometimes be constituted by social interaction (De Jaegher et al., 2010).
