Oxytocin and its Effect on Social Cognition Recent research published on March 2nd in PNAS has found that oxytocin may play a key role in promoting neurotypical social behaviors. A hallmark of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lack of prolonged and consistent eye gaze behavior. Eye gaze behavior is the act of looking at a person in the eyes, or in surrounding face regions, during a social interaction. Researchers have been trying to find a way to increase the amount of typical eye gaze

Many OCD symptoms are represented by at least four to five symptom dimensions. This experiment was conducted to determine the relationship between OCD symptoms, and OCD cognition. They did so, by using the “Gold Standard” clinician-administrate red scale for OCD the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOSC). I will be using information from the results portion of their experiment.  dication and 46.2 % had received a behavioral intervention for their OCD in the past. Results of the OBQ cognitive

The relation between cognition and language has been a curious topic for many decades now. Cognition plays a dynamic role within linguistic expression Most of current discussion in layman’s crowd is on a speaker’s ability to impart influence on an audience. We study the power of language in propaganda. We look at the sway that specific words have on an individual’s emotions. Linguistic scholars have looked into the opposite- the influence of words on the speaker. Around the world there are almost

To start off this paper will be the conceptual overview followed by two summaries of articles about the Moral Cognition of individuals. This paper will give a description of the subject, the area where this interview was conducted, and the procedure of the semi-structured interview. This will lead into the

In a series of reflections scattered throughout The Arcades Project and elsewhere, Walter Benjamin offers a view of childhood cognition as defined by an immediacy between perception and action; the inherently tactile relation between thought and world elicited by the child invokes a direct relationship of thought and action and so a capacity to transform the world.1 Rather than accept the given meaning of things, children are said to acquire knowledge by grabbing objects, analysing them in new ways

explaining how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors of people are influenced by the presence of others. This growing field uses cognitive neuroscientific methods to address the questions normally asked by social psychologists. Once known as social cognition, social neuroscience was popularized and introduced in an article by John Cacioppo and Gary Berntson in 1992. In the article, Cacioppo and Berntson mention the significance of the brain interacting with an individual’s environment, by stating that

Introduction Prior research from Baron, Smith, Butner, Nealey-Moore, Hawkins, and Uchino (2006) used the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire, a 29-item questionnaire that assesses four personality components, to measure anger and hostility. The personality components were hostility, anger, physical aggression and verbal aggression. Research suggests that the association between hostility and health may be due to increased physiological reactivity to interpersonal stressors, increased psychosocial

Chapter 11 of Bazerman’s text, or Negotiator Cognition, discusses how negotiator’s can sometimes fail in reaching rational and amicable agreements. There are 6 common reasons that these negotiations fail, and the text discusses each one along with how one can look to correct these common mistakes. The six areas of focus are the fixed pie of negotiation, the framing of negotiation judgement, escalation of conflict, overestimating your value, self-serving biases and lastly, anchoring. The first

Sometimes these judgements that we make based on physical appearance or first impressions may not be completely accurate, but a lot of the times, the judgements that are formed may be true. Social cognition— which “concerns how we think about the social world, our attempts to understand complex issues, and why we sometimes are less than ‘optimally rational’”—is very important, especially when it comes to social interaction
