Abstract Mindreading refers to the ability to infer another person’s mental state , explain and
predict the behavior of others. In the present study, three experiments were designed to explore the
mechanism of mindreading, and testify the dual-processing model. Experiment 1 explored the
influence of the self and others’ information on mindreading. By using the different feedback
information, Experiment 2 changed the participant’s self-monitoring to explored the impact of
self-monitoring on mindreading. Experiment 3 changed the other people’s information to explore
the impact of others performance information on mindreading. Results of the three experiments
show: Firstly, mindreading in cognitive tasks comprehensively applies the self and others’
information. Secondly, the feedback information changes the participant’s self-monitoring. If the
feedback leads to the underestimate of the participant’s self-monitoring, then his mindreading will
be underestimated, and vice versa. Thirdly, the other people’s performance information also
affects mindreading.
