The relationship between situation, Mind-space, and mental state inference. An example of how the situational factors and location of a target in a mentalizer's Mind-space predict the probability of the mental state content inferred (k = sampling time). Based only on the situational factors, Owen (the mentalizer) predicts that both Anne and Walter are likely to look for their chocolate in the cupboard. Considering their respective positions in Owen's Mind-space on the forgetfulness dimension, Owen revises his prediction for Walter, who is very forgetful and therefore less likely to remember he left the chocolate in the cupboard.
