Reintegrating the Study of Accuracy Into Social Cognition Research (2011, background): “…based on the kinds of complex social information that we encounter in everyday situations (Keysers & Gazzola, 2007; Shamay-Tsoory, 2010; D ow nl oa de d by [ C ol um bi a U ni ve rs ity ] at 1 2: 53 2 5 A ug us t 2 01 1 Singer, 2006; Uddin, Iacoboni, Lange, & Keenan, 2007; Zaki & Ochsner, 2009).”
Social neuroscience evidence for dehumanised perception (2009, background): “Although psychologists have considered empathy akin to mentalising, neuroscientists view mentalising as the more cognitive component of the more affective empathy system, which involves a number of areas in addition to the insula (Singer, 2006).”
Meta-analytic evidence for common and distinct neural networks associated with directly experienced pain and empathy for pain (2011, positive): “…account of understanding others, which proposes that neural circuits involved in the personal experience of an emotion underpin the understanding and sharing of the same emotion perceived in others (de Vignemont and Singer, 2006; Decety and Sommerville, 2003; Keysers and Gazzola, 2006).”
The Many Faces of Empathy: Parsing Empathic Phenomena through a Proximate, Dynamic-Systems View of Representing the Other in the Self (2012, positive): “This neural self–other overlap is most often implicated in the neuroscience of empathy, including mirror neuron and perception– action models of empathy, and does not require conscious awareness of the overlap (e.g., Decety & Jackson, 2006; Gallese, 2001; Preston & de Waal, 2002b; Singer, 2006).”
From Mind Perception to Mental Connection: Synchrony as a Mechanism for Social Understanding (2012, background): “This tendency appears to be hardwired, as one day old infants cry upon hearing others cry (Singer, 2006), and evolutionarily old, as mice display pain symptoms when viewing their cage mates experience pain (Langford et al., 2006).”
The development of emotion regulation: an fMRI study of cognitive reappraisal in children, adolescents and young adults. (2012, background): “While increasing attention has been paid to reappraisal in adults, little is known about how this adaptive ability develops over the course of adolescence.”
Dissecting the social brain: Introducing the EmpaToM to reveal distinct neural networks and brain-behavior relations for empathy and Theory of Mind (2015, neutral): “Affective routes have mainly been studied under the term empathy, defined as sharing another's emotional state while being aware that the other is the source of the emotion (de Vignemont and Singer, 2006).”
Empathy: Gender effects in brain and behavior (2014, background): “Empathy – the ability to understand and share in the internal states of others – is a complex, multidimensional phenomenon that includes a number of functional processes, including emotion recognition, emotional contagion, and emotion priming (for recent reviews, see Decety and Jackson, 2006; Singer”
Neuronal correlates of altered empathy and social cognition in borderline personality disorder (2011, positive): “There is broad agreement that empathy comprises at least two components (Decety and Meyer, 2008; Singer, 2006).”
