fusiform face area
Brain Areas: biological motion perception
posterior superior temporal sulcus
Brain Areas: ventromedial prefrontal cortex and orbitofrontal cortex
social behaviour
insula
emotional empathy
cingulate cortex
cognitive empathy
biological motion and face perception are what aspects of the social brain?
social perception
Aspects of social cognition
TOM, empathy, social perception and social behaviour
biological motion
important for understanding people’s intentions, emotions and state of mind
face perception
recognise and learn faces, detect social cues from expression
ventromedial prefrontal cortex
social decision making
oribotofrontal cortex
processing rewards related to decisions
skills comprising TOM
detection of intention of others
detection of eye detection
shared attention
and TOMM
intentionality detector (ID)
required to see the intention in biological and nonbiological movement
eye direction detector (EDD)
detection of eyes and eyelike stimuli and determine gaze direction
‘language of the eyes’ used to communicate mental states
ID and EDD
dyadic interactions
which module of TOM is only found in humans?
SAM
Shared Attention Mechanism
understanding gaze changes are to be able to look at something, and that we can look to
advent of what technology allowed for brain areas to be investigated?
fMRI
important to appreciate …
the difficulty in isolating brain regions for aspects of TOM
Brain Area for intention
posterior superior temporal sulcus
Brain Area for gaze perception
anterior superior temporal sulcus
What is the social brain?
brain areas responsible for processing social information
facial expressions , eye gaze and intentioanlity are examples of what?
social information
How does social cognition differ between ASD and PSD?
under-deveoped in ASD and hyper-developed in PSD
