Results on brain imaging studies have led to a better understanding of the neural circuits
involved in social cognition and its implication in autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
This workshop will highlight the latest perspectives on the role of
oxytocin in social cognition and neural function in a variety of species ranging from fish to humans.
This study describes the intervention with a gifted child with
ASD in the social cognition area based on «social reading» technique, described above [19].
As discussed by Levina et al. (2011), accumulating evidence suggests that prepulse inhibition deficits may be correlated with
impairments in social cognition (i.e. the ability to construct a representation about others, oneself, and the relationship between others and oneself).
Although the transition from intuitive to reflexive social understanding develops progressively,
differences in social cognition depend both on child and family factors.
Identifying the amygdala's
role in social cognition suggests insights into the neurological mechanisms behind autism and anxiety.
Matt studied Psychology and Sociology at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, with
focuses in Social Cognition research and Abnormal Psychology.
The anatomic studies provided a priori hypotheses about the network constitution, and the functional studies supported these hypotheses while providing a priori descriptions of their psychological
importance in social cognition.

Processes in Social Cognition, ed J. A. Pineda (Totowa, NJ: The Humana Press), 107 — 120.
The vital importance of empathy is stressed, drawing attention to the insights offered by neuroimaging studies and the role of mirror
neurons in social cognition.
Since one interaction parameter CU × ODD achieved significant results (social cognition, p =.05), single effects were estimated and interpreted (for children with ODD = absent, ODD = present, low CU score - percentile 25 of the distribution - and high CU score - percentile 75): high CU raw scores were associated with high
scores in social cognition difficulties at age 4, but only for children without ODD at age 3.
This loss, however, is not necessarily a bad thing (according to Hoekzema, «the localization was quite remarkable»); it occurred in brain regions
involved in social cognition, particularly in the network dedicated to theory of mind, which helps us think about what is going on in someone else's mind — regions that had the strongest response when mothers looked at photos of their infants.
In addition, we focus on how these processes go awry in developmental disorders marked by
impairments in social cognition, such as autism spectrum disorder, and conduct disorder.
Nisbett (2003) suggested that cultural
differences in social cognition may stem from the various philosophical traditions of the East (i.e. Confucianism and Buddhism) versus the Greek philosophical traditions (i.e. of Aristotle and Plato) of the West.
ABSTRACT: Results on brain imaging studies have led to a better understanding of the neural circuits involved
in social cognition and its implication in autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
In social cognition, social cognitive semantic conflicts pertain to those that result from the misunderstanding of words, whereas social cognitive reaction conflicts refer to those that stem from behaviour.
Impairments
in social cognition are generally considered a core aspect of ASD, because they account for the socio - emotional aspects of behavior, even though they can not explain the whole set of symptoms.
Discover how the classic descriptions of major psychopathology - from autism to bipolar disorder - reveal blockages to neural differentiation and linkage in regions of the brain involved
in social cognition and self - regulation.
[14] However, recent research indicates that differences
in social cognition may originate from physical differences in the environments of the two cultures.
Where parent blaming and feminist theories once dominated, current understanding emphasises the role of heritability, neuropsychological risk including cognitive inflexibility and weak central coherence, and the role of perfectionism and deficits
in social cognition.
Impairments
in social cognition are leading causes of disability and compromise real - world functioning, including independent living and productivity at work (2, 4, 5).
In this seminar, discover how the classic descriptions of major psychopathology - from autism to bipolar disorder - reveal blockages to neural differentiation and linkage in regions of the brain involved
in social cognition and self - regulation.
Third, weak coherence may occur alongside, rather than explain, deficits
in social cognition.
Value computations in ventral medial prefrontal cortex during charitable decision making incorporate input from regions involved in social cognition
