Abstract

 Social cognition includes various components of information processing related to communication with other individuals. In this review,we have discussed 3 components of social cognitive function: face recognition,empathy,and decision making. Our social behavior involves recognition based on facial features and also involves empathizing with others; while making decisions,it is important to consider the social consequences of the course of action followed. Face recognition is divided into 2 routes for information processing: a route responsible for overt recognition of the face's identity and a route for emotional and orienting responses based on the face's personal affective significance. Two systems are possibly involved in empathy: a basic emotional contagion "mirroring" system and a more advanced "theory of mind" system that considers the cognitive perspective. Decision making is mediated by a widespread system that includes several cortical and subcortical components. Numerous lesion and neuroimaging studies have contributed to clarifying the neural correlates of social cognitive function,and greater information can be obtained on social cognitive function by combining these 2 approaches.
