Theory of Mind: A Neural Prediction Problem (2013, neutral): “Because predictive coding is most familiar from the context of reward learning, there has been considerable interest in linking predictive coding to social reward learning (Behrens et al., 2009; Jones et al., 2011; Fehr and Camerer, 2007).”
The Integration of Negative Affect, Pain, and Cognitive Control in the Cingulate Cortex (2011, background): “Work in these three basic domains has, in turn, strongly influenced prominent models of social behaviou”
Are there specialized circuits for social cognition and are they unique to humans? (2013, background): “The activity coupling patterns of the most posterior part of the STS suggest that it was connected to the medial frontal and ACC areas that have also been linked to social cognition [19,25,26,27 ,28] (Figure 1).”
Theory and measurement of environmental unpredictability (2020, background): “For instance, people may learn to use police sirens as cues to danger, and experimental studies show that humans are good at learning about cue reliability through repeated exposures over short timescales (Behrens, Hunt, & Rushworth, 2009; Behrens, Woolrich, Walton, & Rushworth, 2007).”
The neuroscience of social decision-making. (2011, background): “Thus, the ACCg is involved in valuing information from others (Behrens et al. 2009).”
Dissociable neural representations of reinforcement and belief prediction errors underlie strategic learning (2012, background): “However, studies on reward-guided behavior in social settings have suggested that these computations build on the same brain structures associated with reward, including the striatum, rostral anterior cingulate (rACC), and orbitofrontal cortex (19).”
The Challenge of Translation in Social Neuroscience: A Review of Oxytocin, Vasopressin, and Affiliative Behavior (2010, neutral): “Recently, researchers have begun to address these questions with human neuroimaging studies seeking to map various aspects of higher-order processing of social information and even develop computational principles for the neural basis of social cognition (Behrens et al., 2009).”
The role of prediction in social neuroscience (2012, methodology): “modeling has also been used to relate the brain network responsible for reward-related processing with the theory of mind network (Behrens et al., 2009).”
