Social Working Memory: Neurocognitive Networks and Directions for Future Research

Abstract: Navigating the social world requires the ability to maintain and manipulate information about people’s beliefs, traits, and mental states. We characterize this capacity as social working memory (SWM). To date, very little research has explored this phenomenon, in part because of the assumption that general working memory systems would support working memory for social information. Various lines of research, however, suggest that social cognitive processing relies on a neurocognitive network (i.e., the “mentali… Show more

“…This might also explain why neural activity in the animal RSC was not tonically maintained during spatial navigation in familiar environments (Burgess et al, 2001; Byrne et al, 2007; Vann et al, 2009). Concurrently, neural activity in the human RSC (but no other PMC region) correlated with individuals' perspective-taking capacity (Meyer and Lieberman, 2012). …”

“…Researchers have recently begun to examine the behavioral and neural correlates of social working memory (Meyer and Lieberman, 2012) in typically developing individuals. It is not known whether working memory for digits and letters, and that for social information, are similarly affected by childhood brain insult.…”

“…Cognitive empathy and social cognition in general seem to be associated with a particular kind of memory. Recently, such a special kind of memory for holding social information has been postulated, called social working memory (Meyer & Lieberman 2012, Meyer et al 2012. Since (working) memory use, depletion, etc., has been a major issue in translation (and interpreting) process research, and the relation between social working memory and canonical working memory is a complex, tricky one, we might ask ourselves how comprehensive and accurate our models of working memory are for dealing with target audience orientation and other social processes involved in translation (and interpreting).…”
