将民间心理学自动转换成专门用于读心和其他社会认知能力的新形成的大脑模块，这一点应该仔细审查。搜索意图、信念和欲望的大脑位置--因此--可能不是揭示什么是社会认知的最佳认知策略。神经认知研究的结果表明，在灵长类动物的大脑中，镜像神经元，更广泛地说，运动前系统，在社会认知的几个方面发挥着重要作用，从动作和意图理解到语言处理。这一证据是在社会认知的具体化模拟描述的理论框架内提出和讨论的。具身模拟和作为其基础的镜像神经元系统提供了共享交际意图、意义和参照的手段，从而满足了社会交际的对等要求。
The automatic translation of folk psychology into newly formed brain modules specifically dedicated to mind-reading and other social cognitive abilities should be carefully scrutinized. Searching for the brain location of intentions, beliefs and desires-as such-might not be the best epistemic strategy to disclose what social cognition really is. The results of neurocognitive research suggest that in the brain of primates, mirror neurons, and more generally the premotor system, play a major role in several aspects of social cognition, from action and intention understanding to language processing. This evidence is presented and discussed within the theoretical frame of an embodied simulation account of social cognition. Embodied simulation and the mirror neuron system underpinning it provide the means to share communicative intentions, meaning and reference, thus granting the parity requirements of social communication.
