Mental mirrors : metacognition in social knowledge and communication /

In Mental Mirrors, the metaphor of the mind as a mirror is used to investigate the relationship between internal thoughts and beliefs and the outside world. The authors claim that social knowledge is reflexive in two ways: first, the mind is a mirror in that it sees its own contents and, second, it.
