Enhancing theory of mind in autism through humanoid robot interaction in a randomized controlled trial.

Scientific reports
Autism Spectrum Disorder presents significant challenges in social cognition, particularly in understanding others' thoughts, emotions, and intentions. Traditional interventions often rely on role-playing games with human therapists or inanimate obje...

Rank labels scaffold social cognitive maps in the hippocampal-entorhinal system.

NeuroImage
How do humans construct mental representations of social hierarchies in the absence of direct interpersonal interactions? In many real-world contexts, humans rely on symbolic rank labels-such as titles or performance ratings-to navigate social hierar...

Are the criteria for PD-MCI diagnosis comprehensive? A Machine Learning study with modified criteria.

Parkinsonism & related disorders
BACKGROUND: Mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD-MCI) includes deficits in different cognitive domains, and one domain to explore for neurocognitive impairment following the DSM-V is social cognition. However, this domain is not inclu...

The Neuroscience of Human and Artificial Intelligence Presence.

Annual review of psychology
Two decades of social neuroscience and neuroeconomics research illustrate the brain mechanisms that are engaged when people consider human beings, often in comparison to considering artificial intelligence (AI) as a nonhuman control. AI as an experim...

Computerized analysis of facial expression reveals objective indices of blunted facial affect.

European archives of psychiatry and clinical neuroscience
Blunted affect is associated with severe mental illness, particularly schizophrenia. Mechanisms of blunted affect are poorly understood, potentially due to a lack of phenomenological clarity. Here, we examine clinician rated blunted affect and comput...

Artificial scaffolding: Augmenting social cognition by means of robot technology.

Autism research : official journal of the International Society for Autism Research
The concept of scaffolding refers to the support that the environment provides in the acquisition and consolidation of new abilities. Technological advancements allow for support in the acquisition of cognitive capabilities, such as second language a...

Superposition mechanism as a neural basis for understanding others.

Scientific reports
Social cognition has received much attention in fields such as neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and philosophy. Theory-theory (TT) and simulation theory (ST) provide the dominant theoretical frameworks for research on social cognition. Ho...

Evaluating comforting messages with the sentiment analysis and social cognition engine.

Applied psychology. Health and well-being
The current study extended the literature on social support by examining the differences in the word content of supportive messages using a free online linguistic tool called sentiment analysis and social cognition engine (SEANCE) across multiple lev...

Meta-learning, social cognition and consciousness in brains and machines.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
The intersection between neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) research has created synergistic effects in both fields. While neuroscientific discoveries have inspired the development of AI architectures, new ideas and algorithms from AI rese...
