Implicit measures for preschool children confirm self-esteem's role in maintaining a balanced identity (2016, background): “Recent theories of social-cognitive development have argued that infants and toddlers recognize similar morphological features and action patterns between self and others, thereby judging the extent to which others are " like me " (Meltzoff, 2007, 2013) even before preschool .”
The Origins of 12-Month Attachment: A Microanalysis of 4-Month Mother-Infant Interaction (2010, background): “In essence, the infant can determine whether that (perceived in the other) looks like this feels (perceived in the self) (Meltzoff, 2007).”
Empathy: a motivated account. (2014, background): “Developmental psychologists including Hoffman (1973, 1982), Eisenberg (1989; Eisenberg et al., 1991), and Meltzoff (2007) describe early-arising experience sharing as the ontological beginnings of empathy (Bernieri, Reznick, & Rosenthal, 1988).”
Biosocial Construction of Sex Differences and Similarities in Behavior (2012, positive): “Socialization builds on characteristically human evolved traits such as the predisposition to imitate others and to engage in social processes of emulation , collaborative learning, and teaching (Hill, Barton, & Hurtado, 2009; Meltzoff, 2007).”
Mirror Neurons, Embodied Simulation, and the Neural Basis of Social Identification (2009, background): “As Meltzoff (2007b) recently wrote, “the bedrock on which commonsense psychology is constructed is the apprehension that others are similar to the self.”
The Naïve Utility Calculus: Computational Principles Underlying Commonsense Psychology. (2016, background): “Work on how children reason about other agents’ goals [1-8], desires [9-11], beliefs [12-18], and pro-social behavior [19-29] has advanced our understanding of what in our commonsense psychology is at work in early infancy [30-32] and what develops [16-17,33-35].”
What is embodiment? A psychometric approach. (2008, positive): “…of embodiment have accepted the concept of a bodily self as obvious and unproblematic (e.g., James, 1890), have linked it to a single somatic sensory system such as visceral interoception (e.g., Damasio, 1999), or have assumed a single innate capacity for self-representation (e.g., Meltzoff, 2007).”
Intermodal Perception and Selective Attention to Intersensory Redundancy: Implications for Typical Social Development and Autism (2010, background): “Meltzoff (2007) argues that detection of self-otl1er equivalence is a starting point for social cognition and through self-perception infants come to understand the actions of others.”
