ABSTRACT
AS ADULT HUMANS we are continually striving to explain and predict the behaviour of other people. When doing this we often refer to what is, or what might be, going on in their mind; their mental state. For example, if you witnessed someone banging on a door, looking through the letterbox and repeatedly shouting someone’s name, you would assume that they had reason to believe that someone was behind the door and that their behaviour would result in that person answering it. You might, however, know differently and that no one was at home.
