Dissociable Medial Prefrontal Contributions to Judgments of Similar and Dissimilar Others
TL;DR: The overlap between judgments of self and similar others suggests the plausibility of "simulation" accounts of social cognition, which posit that perceivers can use knowledge about themselves to infer the mental states of others.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple routes to memory: Distinct medial temporal lobe processes build item and source memories
TL;DR: This work used event-related functional MRI to examine the relation between activation in distinct medial temporal lobe subregions during memory formation and the ability to later recognize an item as previously encountered and later recollect specific contextual details about the prior encounter.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Link between Social Cognition and Self-referential Thought in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex
TL;DR: Results suggest that self-reflection may be used to infer the mental states of others when they are sufficiently similar to self, a test of simulation theory's prediction that inferences based on self- Reflection should only be made for similar others.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activity in Right Temporo-Parietal Junction is Not Selective for Theory-of-Mind
TL;DR: Functional neuroimaging was used to examine the extent to which cortical loci identified by a "theory-of-mind localizer" also distinguish between trials on a target detection task that varied demands to reorient attention, and results were incompatible with claims of RTPJ selectivity for mental state attribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disclosing information about the self is intrinsically rewarding
Diana I. Tamir,Jason P. Mitchell +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the human tendency to convey information about personal experience may arise from the intrinsic value associated with self-disclosure, and that doing so engages neural and cognitive mechanisms associated with reward.
