Journal ArticleDOI
The Psychology of Motivated versus Rational Impression Updating
TL;DR: A mentalizing account of belief maintenance is proposed, which holds that protecting strong priors by generating alternative explanations for surprising information involves more mentalizing about the target than nonrational discounting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural Evidence for the Prediction of Animacy Features during Language Comprehension: Evidence from MEG and EEG Representational Similarity Analysis.

TL;DR: Electroencephalography and MEG techniques are used to show that the brain is able to use contextual constraints to predict the animacy of upcoming words during sentence comprehension, and that these predictions are associated with specific spatial patterns of neural activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of Mind Following the Violation of Strong and Weak Prior Beliefs.
TL;DR: Differences in neural responses to unexpected behaviors from close versus distant others, and ingroup versus outgroup members, may be driven in part by differences in the strength of prior beliefs.
Book ChapterDOI
An Examination of Accurate Versus “Biased” Mentalizing in Moral and Economic Decision-Making
TL;DR: This chapter reviews cases in which mentalizing supports both optimal and suboptimal value-based decisions, in the domains of moral judgment and economic exchange, and suggests that a subset of these cases may be compatible with rational Bayesian reasoning.

Neural evidence for the prediction of animacy features during language comprehension: Evidence from MEG and EEG Representational Similarity Analysis
Lin Wang,Edward W. Wlotko,Edward J. Alexander,Lotte Schoot,Lotte Schoot,Minjae Kim,Lena Warnke,Gina R. Kuperberg,Gina R. Kuperberg +8 more
TL;DR: The authors found that the spatial similarity pattern of neural activity following animate and inanimate verbs was more similar than the spatial pattern following inanimate constraining verbs, which could not be explained by lexical-semantic processing of the verbs themselves.
