“…Consistent with previous research examining the neural correlates of social interaction (e.g. Kampe et al, 2003;Hampton et al, 2008;Redcay et al, 2010;Rice and Redcay, 2016), simply believing that speech was live resulted in increased activation in social cognitive regions frequently associated with mentalizing, including precuneus and TPJ. Additional control analyses and experiments suggested that this difference in activation was unlikely to be attributable to differences in low-level audio characteristics, speaker identity, or speaker likeability.…”

“…The brain regions sensitive to a live social partner in children are similar, but not identical, to those identified in adult studies of social interaction (e.g. Kampe et al, 2003;Redcay et al, 2010;Rice and Redcay, 2016), suggesting that mentalizing network activity accompanies social interaction across development. Specialization for live interaction did not increase with age in this sample, but paradigms with more complex dyadic interaction may yet reveal specialization.…”

“…Adult neuroimaging research has begun to identify the neural bases of social interaction (e.g. Redcay et al, 2010;Schilbach et al, 2010;Pö nk€ anen et al, 2011;Pfeiffer et al, 2014;Rice and Redcay, 2016), but few studies have investigated how the developing brain supports social interaction. Understanding the developmental bases of realworld social behaviors will provide insight into both typical and atypical social development, where disorders such as autism and social anxiety are characterized by interpersonal difficulties (e.g.…”

Although children's social development is embedded in social interaction, most developmental neuroscience studies have examined responses to non-interactive social stimuli (e.g. photographs of faces). The neural mechanisms of real-world social behavior are of special interest during middle childhood (roughly ages 7-13), a time of increased social complexity and competence coinciding with structural and functional social brain development. Evidence from adult neuroscience studies suggests that social interaction may alter neural processing, but no neuroimaging studies in children have directly examined the effects of live social-interactive context on social cognition. In the current study of middle childhood, we compare the processing of two types of speech: speech that children believed was presented over a real-time audio-feed by a social partner and speech that they believed was recorded. Although in reality all speech was prerecorded, perceived live speech resulted in significantly greater neural activation in regions associated with social cognitive processing. These findings underscore the importance of using ecologically-valid and interactive methods to understand the developing social brain.

Social influence is an important topic of research, with a particularly long history in the social sciences. Recently, social influence has also become a topic of interest among neuroscientists. The aim of this review is to highlight current research that has examined neural systems associated with social influence, from the perspective of being influenced as well as influencing others, and highlight studies that link neural mechanisms with real-world behavior change beyond the laboratory. Although many of the studies reviewed focus on localizing brain regions implicated in influence within the lab, we argue that approaches that account for networks of brain regions and that integrate neural data with data beyond the laboratory are likely to be most fruitful in understanding influence.

“…In line with this perspective, a recent study concluded that BOLD activation in brain areas commonly related to social cognition (e.g., right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), right superior temporal sulcus (rSTS), ventral striatum, and amygdala) was more intense when the subjects engaged in live social interactions (cooperative games) with the experimenter (through a live feed video), than when they watched a recording of this very process [62] .…”

Components of neuropsychological tests commonly employed by neuroimagers in developing a metric for Theory of Mind (ToM) research are currently extremely mixed. Tests commonly include factors which may be separate from the core ToM component such as emotion, morality and verbal skills. We explore these confounds, and hypothesize that the discrepant conclusions that have arisen in neuroimaging ToM research reflect the degree to which a task is confounded by these factors. To test this hypothesis we conduct a coordinate based activation likelihood estimations (ALE) meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies. The results demonstrate divergences in neuroimaging results are predicted by divergences in the use of verbal or non-verbal tasks. In response to this finding we systematically describe the main dimensions that should be excluded and included in an ideal ToM task drawing on the wide literature surveyed. We argue, good tasks should rely on minimum verbal content; avoid excessive empathic and moral reactions; include human-like figures executing purposeful behaviors; present several standardized phases, with increased levels of difficulty; and incorporate a clear scoring system, so that performance can be categorized. In order to try to accomplish these goals, we introduce the new 'Inverted Comic Strips Task'.
