Although neuroscientific research has revealed experience-dependent brain changes
across the life span in sensory, motor, and cognitive domains, plasticity relating to social …

Brain imaging studies have demonstrated widespread changes in brain networks which
support cognitive and social‐affective development. These conclusions, however, are …

Complex mental activity induces improvements in cognition, brain function, and structure in
animals and young adults. It is not clear to what extent the aging brain is capable of such …

Social skills rely on a specific set of cognitive processes, raising the possibility that individual
differences in social networks are related to differences in specific brain structural and …

Recent overarching frameworks propose that various human social interactions are
commonly supported by a set of fundamental neuropsychological processes, including …

Functional neuroimaging studies have suggested the existence of 2 largely distinct social
cognition networks, one for theory of mind (taking others' cognitive perspective) and another …

Social feedback can selectively enhance learning in diverse domains. Relevant
neurocognitive mechanisms have been studied mainly in healthy persons, yielding …

Many mammals have evolved to be social creatures. In humans, the ability to learn from
others' experiences is essential to survival; and from an early age, individuals are …

Abstract Theory of Mind, empathy, and action observation are central themes in social
neuroscience research. Meta-analyses of functional neuroimaging studies show substantial …

Social development has been the focus of a great deal of neuroscience based research over
the past decade. In this review, we focus on providing a framework for understanding how …
