    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "It is often assumed that the socio-cultural context positively\ninfluences mindreading performances. Among the available\ntheories, mindshaping is proposed to consist of cultural\nmechanisms that make the social domain homogeneous and,\nhence, easier to interpret. Proponents of the mindshaping\nhypothesis claim that homogeneity is responsible for the\ncomputational tractability of mindreading, which is otherwise\nintractable. In this paper, we examine this core claim of\nmindshaping and investigate how homogeneity influences\nmindreading tractability. By taking action understanding as a\ncase-study for mindreading, we formally operationalize\nmindshaping homogeneity in different ways with the goal of\nbridging the gap between informal claims and formal\n(in)tractability results. The analysis shows that only specific\ncombinations of homogeneity may lead to tractable\nmindreading, whilst others do not. Additionally, the analysis\nreveals the possibility of a yet undiscovered mindshaping\nmechanism.",
