TEACHING EMPATHY: A FRAMEWORK ROOTED IN SOCIAL COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE (2011, background): “We are hard- wired for empathy (Iacoboni, 2008).”
Emerging Issues in the Cross-Cultural Study of Empathy (2012, background): “Especially since the discovery of so-called “mirror neurons” (Iacoboni, 2008), scholars in a variety of disciplines, including philosophy (Kogler & Stueber, 2000; Stueber, 2006), medicine (Farrow & Woodruff, 2007; Halpern, 2001), psychotherapy (Bohart & Greenberg, 1997), evolutionary science (de Waa”
Implicit affect in organizations (2009, background): “Many neuroscientists believe that mirror neurons form the basis for both imitation and for the direct experience of others’ emotional states, unmediated (at least initially) by cognitive processes requiring higher level cortical involvement (e.g., Iacoboni, 2008; Rizzolatti & Graighero, 2004).”
Case Studies in Interdisciplinary Research (2011, background): “Indeed, one of these investigators still maintains that these mirror neurons “embody the deepest way in which we stand in relation to each other and understand each other” (Iacoboni, 2008).”
The Development of Empathy : How , When , and Why (2010, background): “There is evidence, albeit less direct, that the human brain contains a similar mirror neuron system, which lies in premotor and surrounding areas of the frontal and parietal lobes (Iacoboni 2008).”
Social Empathy: A Model Built on Empathy, Contextual Understanding, and Social Responsibility That Promotes Social Justice (2011, background): “Neuroscientists’ identification of the regions of the brain that correspond to empathic thoughts confirms that humans are hardwired for empathy (Iacoboni, 2008).”
Mentalizing in the Development and Treatment of Attachment Trauma (2013, background): “We naturally resonate emotionally to each other without having to think about it (Iacoboni, 2008); we can think of this process as emotional contagion (Hatfield, Cacioppo & Rapson, 1994).”
Conceptualising and Measuring Empathy (2010, background): “A pivotal breakthrough occurred one day in 1992, when three researchers in Parma, Italy, decided to have lunch in the lab where they were studying the firing of motor neurons in laboratory monkeys (Iacoboni, 2008).”
The Dark Side of Empathy: Mimesis, Deception, and the Magic of Alterity (2015, background): “Inspired by the discovery of mirror-neurons and the “theory of mind” debate (Baron-Cohen 1997; Frith and Wolpert 2004; Iacoboni 2008), cognitive scientists and evolutionary biologists have started to explore the idea that social behavior itself might be based on empathy.”
A Social Work Model of Empathy (2009, background): “Iacoboni (2008) explains the entire neurological process as follows: Mirror neuron areas help us understand the emotions of other people by some form of inner imitation.”
Shared Reality: Experiencing Commonality with others' Inner States about the World (2009, background): “Embodied Synchrony and Mirroring How does shared reality relate to the phenomena of embodied social synchrony (e.g., Barsalou et al., 2003; Gallese et al., 2004; Iacoboni, 2008) that have recently commanded much”
