Q2. What are the future works mentioned in the paper "Running head: theory of mind and emotion perception" ?
One intriguing twist that has yet to be explained by current models is that if EP is important in feeding into more complex subsequent ToM processes, then why does affective ToM demonstrate an extended developmental trajectory compared to cognitive ToM ( Sebastian, et al., 2012 ; Vetter, Weigelt, Dohnel, Smolka, & Kliegel, 2014 ) ? The most likely possibility is that PFC and lateral temporal core regions ( temporal pole and temporo-parietal junction ) are activated in many EP and ToM tasks, with more specific activity in other processing regions dependent on individual task demands. Future research with EP and ToM tasks should clarify theoretically and experimentally, the extent to which the tasks make emotional and cognitive demands. Future research should focus on understanding the development and neural bases of emotional and theory of mind processes from perception to reasoning, to hone their models of social cognition.
Q3. What is the likely possibility of EP and ToM?
The most likely possibility is that PFC and lateral temporal core regions (temporal pole and temporo-parietal junction) are activated in many EP and ToM tasks, with more specific activity in other processing regions dependent on individual task demands.
Q4. What are the two regions speculated as being involved in both EP and ToM?
Two particular regions speculated as being involved in both EP and ToM are thedorsomedial PFC and temporal pole (the anterior temporal lobe).
Q5. What is the prominent proposal in relation to functional laterality?
In relation to functional laterality more generally, the most prominent proposal has been thatboth ToM and EP are linked to right hemisphere damage.
Q6. What is the role of the paralimbic temporal pole in determining social significance?
The paralimbic temporal pole has also been speculated as a site of integration between the two systems, based on its apparent involvement in facial emotion processing and inferring thoughts or beliefs (Olson, Plotzker, & Ezzyat, 2007).
Q7. What are the gatekeeper stages of social information processing?
1997)Informationprocessing approachToM and EP are discrete processing stages that relate seriallyPerception and recognition (encoding) of emotion cues are the gatekeeper stages of social information processing.
Q8. What is the role of the amygdala in determining emotional significance?
Other likely points of interface include the superior temporal sulcus region for its role in inferring perceptions (Saxe, et al., 2004), and the amygdala for its role in determining emotional significance which would be important for inferring emotion-based intentions (Siegal & Varley, 2002).
Q9. What are some of the tasks traditionally described as ‘emotion perception’?
Some tasks traditionally described as ‘emotion perception’ (e.g. choosing verbal labels to describe facial expression of emotion) in fact require quite complex cognitive decision-making processes (L. H. Phillips, Channon, Tunstall, Hedenstrom, & Lyons, 2008).
