Social and Affective Neuroscience Key Studies
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Andari et al., (2010) | Oxytocin could act as part of a therapy for autism - cyberball experiment |
| Kosfeld et al., (2005) | Oxytocin increases trust in humans Investor and trustee experiment |
| McGraw and Young (2010) | Montane voles do not bond for life and are less social It is the location and amount of oxytocin which is important |
| Eisenberger et al., (2003) | Cyber ball experiment Social rejection activates areas in the brain responsible for physical pain |
| Eisenberger et al., (2011) | Being in the presence of a partner protects you from physical pain as the vmPFC lights up which dampens other areas |
| Fisher et al., (2005) | 17 male and female participants - dopaminergic cells activated when partner's face viewed |
| Greene et al., (2008) | Dual-route hypothesis When given a complex problem like trolley problem, frontal lobe needs to override limbic system |
| Hauser (2007) | Trolley problem |
| 85% | Of people think it is morally permissable to kill 1 person to save 5 |
| 12% | Of people think it is morally permissable to push 1 person to save 5 |
| Calder et al., (2007) | Brain regions involved in gaze perception |
| Posterior temporal sulcus | Codes gaze perception |
| Occipital cortex | Early visual analysis |
| Anterior superior temporal sulcus | Gaze perception |
| Amygdala and limbic areas | Social/emotional processing |
| Inferior parietal cortex | Spatial attention system |
| Jenkins et al., (2006) | Adaptation is used to see if there are specific cells in humans responsible for gaze perception |
| Phase 1 | Acuity test Which way are eyes looking |
| Phase 2 | Adaptation Eyes look left every time |
| Phase 3 | Same as 1 but if eyes look slightly left, more likely to say they are looking forward |
| Baron-Cohen | Modules for gaze processing Eye direction detector (EDD) Social attention mechanism (SAM) Theory of mind mechanism (TOMM) |
| Perrett | Modules for gaze processing Mutual attention mechanism (MAM) Direction of attention detector (DAD) |
| Baron-Cohen et al., (1995) | ToM and gaze perception Social interactions rely on efficient eye-gaze encoding |
| Bayliss et al., (2007) | Gaze-cueing When you follow someone's gaze |
| Singer et al., (2004) | Distinction between regions for sensory aspects and affective components of pain |
| Patient SM | Bilateral damage to the amygdala impairs perception of emotion |
| Saxe and Kanwisher (2003) | Temporo-parietal junction as a region specific for ToM |
| Apperly and Butterfill (2009) | Two systems for belief representations |
| ToM lite | early developing, fast, inflexible, infants and animals |
| ToM | later developing, cognitively demanding, flexible, only in humans |
| Senju et al. | differences between implicit and explicit ToM |
| Baron-Cohen et al., (1985) | Sally-Anne task to test ToM Differences between typically developing children and those with autism |
| de Lange (2008) | fMRI study between intention and means |
| Intention | posterior cingulate, medial prefrontal cortex |
| Means | superior temporal sulcus |
| Heider and Simmel (1944) | 3 shapes experiment involved superior temporal sulcus |
| Perrett et al., (1985) | cells in the superior temporal sulcus respond to certain types of body movements |
| Johansson (1973) | can detect gender, mood and weight from observing someone walking |
| Bruce and Young (1986) | cognitive model of face perception |
| Gauthier (1999; 2000) | Domain general approach |
| Domain general approach | all areas contribute to visual processing, but in different ways FFA is for expertise |
| Downing et al., (2006) | images from 20 categories to see if any could activate FFA more than faces |
| Kanwisher (1997; 2000) | Domain specificity |
| Domain specificity | visual system is split into modules, key one being FFA face inversion effect, holistic advantage, prosopagnosia all support |
| Patient WJ | prosopagnosia double dissociations can recognise sheep but not faces |
| Yin (1969) | inversion effect |
| Frith and Frith (2009) | the use of neuroimaging and computational models has helped evolution of social behaviour |
| Bennett et al. | dead salmon experiment - key flaws in social neuroscience |
