项目摘要

Psychologists have produced theories and a wealth of empirical evidence concerning the basic building blocks of social cognition. This understanding has recently benefited from the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRl) to identify a network of brain regions that support various facets of social cognition in humans. Studies of how we think about ourselves and other minds, how we mimic and respond, and how we regulate our emotions have allowed us to learn about the paths toward better and worse mental health outcomes. However, much of this work has focused on the mature minds of adult humans almost exclusively. lt is becoming clear that in order to understand the basis of mental health and illness in adults, it is important to understand the development of social cognition in children because such a focus can provide the crucially needed early view of intricate mental processes during formation. Advances in techniques for imaging the developing brain have provided exciting opportunities for studying the mechanisms involved in the development of social cognition abilities. What remains to be initiated are programs of research to produce the first empirical studies. The overarching aim of this grant is to use fMRl to identify and characterize the neural basis of development in aspects of social cognition. We will recruit neurologically normal children and adolescents (5-14 years of age). ln this two-year longitudinal study, each child will be studied once per year. This design will provide the start of much needed longitudinal data regarding the normal development of the social brain in childhood. Our studies will focus on the development of brain mechanisms for: (1) the perception of other people's actions and intentions and (2) the formation of representations of the self and the relationship between self and others.

心理学家已经提出了关于社会认知的基本组成部分的理论和大量的经验证据。这种理解最近受益于使用功能磁共振成像（fMRl）来识别支持社交各个方面的大脑区域网络。人类的认知。对我们如何看待自己和他人的思想、如何模仿和反应以及如何调节情绪的研究使我们能够了解导致更好和更差心理健康结果的途径。然而，这项工作的大部分内容几乎完全集中在成年人的成熟思想上。越来越明显的是，为了了解成人心理健康和疾病的基础，了解儿童社会认知的发展非常重要，因为这样的关注可以为形成过程中复杂的心理过程提供至关重要的早期视图。发育中大脑成像技术的进步为研究社会认知能力发展机制提供了令人兴奋的机会。尚待启动的是开展第一个实证研究的研究计划。该资助的首要目标是使用 fMRl 来识别和表征社会认知方面发展的神经基础。我们将招募神经系统正常的儿童和青少年（5-14岁）。在这项为期两年的纵向研究中，每个孩子每年将接受一次研究。该设计将提供有关以下方面急需的纵向数据的开始：儿童期社交脑的正常发育。我们的研究将集中于大脑机制的发展：（1）感知他人的行为和意图；（2）自我表征以及自我与他人关系的形成。
