Abstract
Social-constructionists argue that people understand the world by constructing their view of the world in the sense that any observation can only become meaningful in social interchanges. This aspect of reasoning has been investigated in psychological and AI studies by focussing on the reasoning strategy of perspective taking. Perspectives are viewed as mental representations that describe partial knowledge of a task domain, including causal links between knowledge components, (domain perspective) and as representations about other participants (social perspectives) including knowledge about how these participants might see the world.
