There was an editorial error in the abstract of the original online version of the commentary by Rossignac-Milon et al. (Reference Rossignac-Milon, Pinelli and Higgins2020) on the target article by Gilead et al. (Reference Gilead, Trope and Liberman2020). The abstract original read as as follows:

Abstract

We propose that abstraction is an interpersonal process and serves a social function. Research on shared reality shows that in communication, people raise their level of abstraction in order to create a common understanding with their communication partner, which can subsequently distort their mental representation of the object of communication. This work demonstrates that, beyond building accurate models, abstraction also functions to build accurate models but also to build socially shared models – to create a shared reality.

It should read as follows:

The redundant phrase “to build accurate models but also” should be deleted.

This has been corrected in the commentary.

We regret the error.
