The majority of work in this area focuses on mental state representation (‘theory of mind’), but has had limited success in explaining individual differences in this ability, and is characterized by the lack of a theoretical framework that can account for the effect of variability inthe population of minds to which individuals are exposed.We draw analogies between faces and minds as complex social stimuli, and suggest thattheoretical and empirical progress on understanding the mechanisms underlying mind representation can be achieved by adopting a ‘Mind-space’framework; that minds, like faces, are represented withina multidimensional psychological space. This Mind-space framework can accommodate the representation of whole cognitive systems, and may help to explain individual differences in the consistency and accuracy with which the mental states of others are inferred. Mind-space may also have relevance for understanding human development, inter-group relations, and the atypical socialcognitionseen in several clinical conditions. date: 2020-06 date_type: published publisher: Nelson Cowan id_number: 10.1037/xge0000704 official_url: http://iast.fr/pub/123538 faculty: tse divisions: tse language: en has_fulltext: FALSE doi: 10.1037/xge0000704 view_date_year: 2020 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Experimental Psychology: General volume: vol. 149 number: n° 6 pagerange: 1032-1047 refereed: TRUE issn: 0096-3445 oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:123538 harvester_local_overwrite: faculty harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: number harvester_local_overwrite: volume harvester_local_overwrite: publish_to_hal harvester_local_overwrite: publisher harvester_local_overwrite: creators_affiliation harvester_local_overwrite: id_number harvester_local_overwrite: hal_id harvester_local_overwrite: hal_version harvester_local_overwrite: hal_url harvester_local_overwrite: hal_passwd harvester_local_overwrite: note harvester_local_overwrite: doi harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn oai_lastmod: 2020-07-17T09:02:07Z oai_set: tse site: ut1 publish_to_hal: TRUE hal_id: hal-02796671 hal_passwd: ?@tfhzw hal_version: 1 hal_url: https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-02796671 citation: Conway, Jane, Coll, Michel-Pierre, Cuve, Helio Clemente, Koletsi, Sofia, Bronitt, Nicholas, Catmur, Caroline and Bird, Geoffrey (2020) Understanding How Minds Vary Relates to Skill in Inferring Mental States, Personality, and Intelligence.
