A range of empirical and theoretical perspectives on the relationship between biology and social cognition from infancy through childhood.Recent research on the developmental origins of the social mind supports the view that social cognition is present early in infancy and childhood in surprisingly sophisticated forms. Developmental psychologists have found ingenious ways to test the social abilities of infants and young children, and neurosci...

The Oxford Handbook of Social Neuroscience marks the emergence of a third broad perspective in neuroscience. This perspective emphasizes the functions that emerge through the coaction and interaction of conspecifics and the commonality and differences across social species and superorganismal structures.

Traditionally, neuroscience has considered the nervous system as an isolated entity and largely ignored influences of the social environments in which humans and many animal species live. In fact, we now recognize the considerable impact of social structures on the operations of the brain and body. These social factors operate on the individual through a continuous interplay of neural, neuroendocrine, metabolic and immune factors on brain and ...

Perception and action have long been considered as two separate information processes and accordingly they have been investigated in relative isolation from one another. However, it is acknowledged that perception and action are functionally related. This special issue on perception and action presents original contributions from cognitive neuroscientists and cognitive neuropsychologists who address this area from different complementary persp...

Over the past decade, an explosion of empirical research in a variety of fields has allowed us to understand human moral sensibility as a sophisticated integration of cognitive, emotional, and motivational mechanisms shaped through evolution, development, and culture. Evolutionary biologists have shown that moral cognition evolved to aid cooperation, developmental psychologists have demonstrated that the elements that underpin morality are in ...
