Description

Social cognition refers to the complex set of mental skills that underlie the perception, processing, interpretation, and response of social stimuli. Together, these skills support the development and adaptation of appropriate social skills. Social cognition has long developed from early childhood to adulthood. Given the predominance of social dysfunction in neurological disorders, social cognition is now recognized as a core area of clinical attention-worthy function. This chapter outlines the composition of social cognition and some of the most clinically important social cognitive skills. Defines and introduces neural networks and frameworks associated with these skills. General principles for understanding the development of social cognition are presented, and a summary of the normative development milestones of clinically relevant social cognitive skills is proposed. It summarizes general guidelines for the sound assessment of social cognition in children and adolescents.

Social cognition refers to a unique process that enables humans to interpret social information and act appropriately in the social environment. Like other cognitive areas, the processing of social information is initially based on the attention and perception of relevant cues. The nature and meaning of social information is determined by rapid and automatic emotion-driven mechanisms, and attitudes, prejudices, stereotypical tendencies, and personality traits create individual differences in the interpretation of social information. Social information is more conscious, including inferences about the thoughts, feelings, and intentions of others, while using the acquired knowledge of social concepts and common behavioral sequences that normally occur in social interactions. Further processing is done through a controlled mechanism. After recognizing and interpreting social information, behavioral reactions are selected and executed, often requiring enforcement and regulatory processes. This paper summarizes these basic social cognitive functions and their neuroanatomical correlations.

Technically, social cognition refers to how humans interact with homogenous or heterogeneous information in four phases: encoding, storage, retrieval, and processing. It is included. In the field of social psychology, social cognition refers to a special approach to investigating these processes using methods of cognitive psychology and information processing theory. According to this, social cognition is a level of analysis aimed at understanding the cognitive processes that underlie social psychological phenomena. The main concern of this approach is the processes involved in the perception, judgment and memory of social stimuli. The impact of social and emotional factors on information processing behavioral and interpersonal effects of cognitive processes. This level of analysis can be applied to any area of content within social psychology, including research on processes within individuals, interpersonally, groups, and between groups.
