ABSTRAKT:
Understanding beliefs is more than just simulating others epistemic states or forming a theory about them. It involves, in addition, a kind of mental coordination in which the individual attempts to bring coherence to three different perspectives on a common situation: her own, a partners, and an „objective perspective. Young children become capable of such coordination at around 4 years of age via species-unique skills and motivations of shared intentionality, as they are manifest in joint attention and linguistic communication. Understanding reasons for beliefs, emerging in ontogeny soon thereafter, involves a distinct kind of mental coordination as the individual attempts to justify her belief, as opposed to a partners, by grounding it logically or evidentially in beliefs they already share in common ground.
