Identifying components of a clause
Psychologists have referred to this ability to understand that other people have thoughts that drive their behavior as having a Theory of Mind, and when people apply this ability, it is called mentalizing (that is, we mentalize when we think about the mental states of others).
Hello dear friends,
I need your help to understand the highlighted part of the above sentence.
Is it "this ability to understand" or "this ability"+ "to understand"?
Should I separate "other people have thoughts that drive their behavior" into parts or not? In other words, is it a single idea or not?
Does "as having" come back to "this ability"?
I would be so thankful of any help in any form (a general explanation or a bit-by-bit one.)
