Theory of Mind: A Neural Prediction Problem (2013, neutral): “…Saxe and Kanwisher, 2003), and a region in medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC, red, peak voxel [−2, 56, −4]) involved in thinking about people’s stable preferences and personalities (localized using attribution of traits to self relative to attribution of traits to someone else, Mitchell et al., 2006).”
The neural bases of social cognition and story comprehension. (2011, background): “…if they did not examine a basic process of mental inference but instead pursued a more specific goal (e.g., identifying the role of self-other similarity; Mitchell et al. 2006) or if it was unclear if mental inference was taking place (e.g., response to hearing one’s own name; Kampe et al. 2003).”
Intergroup Perception and Cognition: An Integrative Framework for Understanding the Causes and Consequences of Social Categorization (2017, background): “In fMRI research by Mitchell, Macrae, and Banaji (2006), participants made judgments about the self, political ingroup members, and political outgroup members while their brain activity was recorded.”
The science of mind wandering: empirically navigating the stream of consciousness. (2015, background): “When tasked with imagining another place or time (Addis et al. 2012), or to think about themselves (Kelley et al. 2002, Macrae et al. 2004, Mitchell et al. 2006), regions in the DMN increase their activity.”
Two systems for empathy: a double dissociation between emotional and cognitive empathy in inferior frontal gyrus versus ventromedial prefrontal lesions. (2009, background): “In accordance with this, increased VM activation during a mentalizing task, reported in fMRI studies (Mitchell et al., 2006), further supports this region’s role in cognitive empathy and ToM.”
The existence of implicit bias is beyond reasonable doubt: A refutation of ideological and methodological objections and executive summary of ten studies that no manager should ignore (2009, neutral): “The important point to distill from these ﬁndings is that the IAT shows good construct validity through its association with neural systems serving as reliable indicators of individual differences (see also Amodio et al., 2003; Mitchell, Macrae, & Banaji, 2006).”
The neurobiology of language beyond single words. (2014, background): “The data thus demonstrated a pattern typical for tasks that involve mentalizing based on a theory of mind (ToM) (Amodio & Frith 2006, Mitchell et al. 2006, Saxe et al. 2006).”
Functional-Anatomic Fractionation of the Brain's Default Network (2010, background): “, 2005) and perceived similarity or closeness to one's self (Mitchell et al., 2006; Krienen et al., 2009).”
How social norms are often a barrier to addressing climate change but can be part of the solution (2020, background): “, 2012), they may experience less empathy for their plight (Mitchell et al., 2006; Xu et al., 2009; Schumann et al., 2014).”
Functional connectivity of default mode network components: correlation, anticorrelation, and causality (2008, background): “VC 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.”
The Enigmatic temporal pole: a review of findings on social and emotional processing. (2007, background): “…Goel et al., 1995; Baron-Cohen et al., 1999; Brunet et al., 2000; Gallagher et al., 2000; McCabe et al., 2001; Vogeley et al., 2001; Berthoz et al., 2002; Ferstl and von Cramon, 2002; Gallagher et al., 2002; Calarge et al., 2003; Walter et al., 2004; Mitchell et al., 2006; Saxe and Powell, 2006).”
I Know You Are But What Am I?!: Neural Bases of Self- and Social Knowledge Retrieval in Children and Adults (2007, background): “…that the DMPFC, which has been associated with thinking about other individuals' mental states—particularly those who are not seen as similar to oneself (Mitchell et al., 2005, 2006; Mitchell, Macrae, & Banaji, 2004)—was predictably more active in adults during social than self-knowledge retrieval.”
