Journal ArticleDOI
Empathy: Its ultimate and proximate bases.
TL;DR: The Perception-Action Model (PAM), together with an understanding of how representations change with experience, can explain the major empirical effects in the literature and can also predict a variety of empathy disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mammalian empathy: behavioural manifestations and neural basis
TL;DR: The latest evidence from studies carried out across a wide range of species, including studies on yawn contagion, consolation, aid-giving and contagious physiological affect are discussed, and neuroscientific data on representations related to another's state is summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heart rate responses to social interactions in free-moving rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta): a pilot study.
TL;DR: Heart rate telemetry was explored as a means to access animal emotion during social interactions under naturalistic conditions and the risk of aggression associated with the approach of a dominant individual was expected to provoke anxiety in the approachee.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Anticipatory Stress on Decision Making in a Gambling Task
TL;DR: The authors tested the converse hypothesis, that unrelated emotion disrupts decision making, by playing the Iowa Gambling Task, during which only experimental participants anticipated giving a public speech.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origins of altruism in offspring care.
TL;DR: The framework intermixes ultimate and proximate levels of analysis and unifies existing views by assuming that even complex human behaviors reflect ancient mammalian neural systems that evolved to solve key problems in adaptive ways, with far-reaching consequences for even the authors' most venerated human traits.
