Teenage brain: sensitivity to social evaluation
Social cognition
Ability to interact with each other
Psychopathy, socially cognitive capable, but no empathy, no emotions and antisocial
Brain areas
They all work together, not limited to a specific action per region, ex: Rizzolatti's mirror neurons
Mentalising network; thinking about what others might think (theory of mind)
Reductionism; clearing other possibilities that might not happen in real life
Ex: guy getting kicked on the balls
Amygdala
Yes
Mirror neurons
Yes
Mentalising
Just if asked to
Ex: kid being bulied
Mentalising
Yes
Amygdala
Yes
Mirror neurons
Just if you lived a close experience
Studying the building blocks
Emotion recognition
Looking at picture and saying if person likes you or not
Pupil dilation
Game on which you get the ball 30 per cent of times, and then none
What if you witness it
Adolescence
Don't know exactly when the change from childhood to adulthood starts
Hormones influence other, cycle
The period starts earlier but adolescence finishes later
Probably because of food and education styles (causing it to start before or after)
Grey matter, the ones that have been developed first are the ones who 'atrocian' first
Amygdala gets easily activated, so emotions strongly enter behaviour, causing problems in society
Differences in adolescents
Social relations: Sexual relations, fear of rejection and more intimacy with friends than family
Activity in prefrontal cortex decreases with age, but as it is brain image, correlational study, not causal
Largest pupil dilation after rejection
Peers pressure is mainly positive, but sometimes negative (alcohol...)
