Parsing the neural correlates of moral cognition: ALE meta-analysis on morality, theory of mind, and empathy.
Danilo Bzdok,Leonhard Schilbach,Kai Vogeley,Karla Schneider,Angela R. Laird,Robert Langner,Simon B. Eickhoff +6 more
TL;DR: Investigating neural activity associated with different facets of moral thought provides evidence that the neural network underlying moral decisions is probably domain-global and might be dissociable into cognitive and affective sub-systems.

Disruption of the right temporoparietal junction with transcranial magnetic stimulation reduces the role of beliefs in moral judgments
TL;DR: Interference with activity in the RTPJ disrupts the capacity to use mental states in moral judgment, especially in the case of attempted harms.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Theory of Blame
TL;DR: The Path Model of Blame as discussed by the authors identifies the conceptual structure in which blame judgments are embedded and the information processing that generates such judgments, and uses it to account for a number of challenging findings in the literature.

Theory of Mind: A Neural Prediction Problem
Jorie Koster-Hale,Rebecca Saxe +1 more
TL;DR: The predictive coding framework is proposed to extend from high-level sensory processing to the more abstract domain of theory of mind; that is, to inferences about others' goals, thoughts, and personalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Accidental Transgressor: Morally Relevant Theory of Mind
TL;DR: To test young children's false belief theory of mind in a morally relevant context, two experiments were conducted and children who did not pass false belief ToM were more likely to attribute negative intentions to an accidental transgressor than children who passed false belief toM, and to use moral reasons when blaming the accidental transgression.

The emotional dog and its rational tail: a social intuitionist approach to moral judgment.
TL;DR: The author gives 4 reasons for considering the hypothesis that moral reasoning does not cause moral judgment; rather, moral reasoning is usually a post hoc construction, generated after a judgment has been reached.

Nitin Gogtay,Jay N. Giedd,Leslie Lusk,Kiralee M. Hayashi,Deanna Greenstein,A. Catherine Vaituzis,Tom F. Nugent,David H. Herman,Liv S. Clasen,Arthur W. Toga,Judith L. Rapoport,Paul M. Thompson +11 more
TL;DR: The dynamic anatomical sequence of human cortical gray matter development between the age of 4-21 years using quantitative four-dimensional maps and time-lapse sequences reveals that higher-order association cortices mature only after lower-order somatosensory and visual cortices are developed.

The Moral Judgment of the Child
TL;DR: The Moral Judgment of the Child by Jean Piaget as mentioned in this paper chronicles the evolution of children's moral thinking from preschool to adolescence, tracing their concepts of lying, cheating, adult authority, punishment, and responsibility and offering important insights into how they learn -or fail to learn -the difference between right and wrong.

An fMRI Investigation of Emotional Engagement in Moral Judgment
Joshua D. Greene,R. Brian Sommerville,Leigh E. Nystrom,John M. Darley,Jonathan D. Cohen,Jonathan D. Cohen +5 more
TL;DR: It is argued that moral dilemmas vary systematically in the extent to which they engage emotional processing and that these variations in emotional engagement influence moral judgment.

Theory of mind.
Chris D. Frith,Uta Frith +1 more
TL;DR: For example, Frith as discussed by the authors showed that children with autism have a specific problem with theory-of-mind tasks, such as looking for the hidden chocolate in the cupboard.
