The concept of acting intentionally is an important nexus where theory mind and moral judgment meet. Preschool children's judgments intentional action show a valence-driven asymmetry. Children say that foreseen but disavowed side effect brought about “on purpose” when the itself morally bad, not it good.

Orbitofrontal Cortex (OFC) structural abnormality in schizophrenia has not been well characterized, probably due to marked anatomical variability and lack of consistent definitions. We previously reported OFC sulcogyral pattern alteration its associations with social disturbance schizophrenia, but volume psychopathology cognition have investigated. compared chronically treated patients healthy control (HC) subjects, using a novel, reliable parcellation subregions their association cognition,...

Previous studies suggest theory of mind (ToM) ability declines with age. However, prior tasks not only required ToM competence but also imposed high executive function (EF) demands, so decline in could be caused by deterioration competence, EF, or both. It was predicted that if the elderly have intact compromised then they should perform similarly to younger adults when using lower such as spontaneous-response tasks. Results showed on reduced older tracked belief same extent adults, despite...

The emotion of pride appears to be a neurocognitive guidance system capitalize on opportunities become more highly valued and respected by others. Whereas the inputs outputs are relatively well understood, little is known about how matches outputs. How does work?

Operating in this manner allow balance...

The synchronized co-activation of multiple responses—motivational, behavioral, and physiological—has been taken as a defining feature emotion. Such response coherence has observed inconsistently however, this led some to view emotion programs lacking biological reality. Yet, is not always expected or desirable if an program carry out its adaptive function. Rather, the hallmark capacity orchestrate mechanisms adaptively—responses will co-activate in stereotypical fashion depending on how...

Abstract Are mechanisms for social attention influenced by culture? Evidence that is triggered automatically bottom‐up gaze cues and uninfluenced top‐down verbal instructions may suggest it operates in the same way everywhere. Yet considerations from evolutionary cultural psychology specific aspects of one's background have consequence develop operate. In more interdependent cultures, scope be broader, focusing on individuals relations between those individuals. We administered a multi‐gaze...

Why are disembodied extraordinary beings like gods and spirits prevalent in past present theologies? Under the intuitive Cartesian dualism hypothesis, this is because it natural to conceptualize of minds as separate from bodies; under counterintuitiveness beliefs without bodies unnatural-such violate core knowledge intuitions about person physicality consequently have a social transmission advantage.

Author(s): Shaheen, Susan, PhD; Cohen, Adam | Abstract: In 2017, researchers from UC Berkeley’s Transportation Sustainability Research Center and Institute of Studies produced eight policy briefs on shared mobility. Shared mobility – the use a vehicle, bicycle, or other travel mode services are experiencing rapid growth expansion. This is, in part, due to launch innovative business models across California, their smartphone as way enable on-demand transportation options. There is need...
