Theory of Mind: A Neural Prediction Problem (2013, positive): “Brain regions on the medial surface of cortex, in both medial prefrontal (MPFC) and medial parietal (PC) cortex, show robust responses while thinking about people’s stable personalities and preferences (Mitchell et al., 2006; Schiller et al., 2009; Cloutier et al., 2011).”
Inconsistencies in spontaneous and intentional trait inferences. (2012, background): “To analyze how behavioral information contributes to an trait impression about the target, we contrasted brain activity for trait ratings that agreed with the trait implied by the initial (consistent) vs the final (inconsistent) descriptions, a procedure analogous to prior research (Schiller et al.,”
The neural dynamics of updating person impressions. (2013, methodology): “More importantly, consistent with other studies (Mitchell et al., 2004, 2005, 2006; Schiller et al., 2009), we expected that evaluative updating of impressions would recruit regions implicated in impression formation such as the dmPFC. Finally, based on recent studies (Cloutier et al., 2011b; Ma et…”
