abstract = {It is the aim of this article to present an empirically
justified hypothesis about the functional roles of the two
social neural systems, namely the so-called ‘mirror neuron
system’ (MNS) and the ‘mentalizing system’ (MENT, also
‘theory of mind network’ or ‘social neural
network’). Both systems are recruited during cognitive
processes that are either related to interaction or
communication with other conspecifics, thereby constituting
intersubjectivity. The hypothesis is developed in the
following steps: first, the fundamental distinction that we
make between persons and things is introduced; second,
communication is presented as the key process that allows us
to interact with others; third, the capacity to
‘mentalize’ or to understand the inner experience of
others is emphasized as the fundamental cognitive capacity
required to establish successful communication. On this
background, it is proposed that MNS serves comparably early
stages of social information processing related to the
‘detection’ of spatial or bodily signals, whereas MENT
is recruited during comparably late stages of social
information processing related to the ‘evaluation’ of
emotional and psychological states of others. This
hypothesis of MNS as a social detection system and MENT as a
social evaluation system is illustrated by findings in the
field of psychopathology. Finally, new research questions
that can be derived from this hypothesis are discussed.},
