Dedicated representation of others in the macaque frontal cortex: from action monitoring and prediction to outcome evaluation
Social neurophysiology has increasingly addressed how several aspects of self and other
are distinctly represented in the brain. In social interactions, the self–other distinction is …

The feedback‐related negativity indexes prediction error in active but not observational learning
Reinforcement learning (RL) theory states that learning is driven by prediction errors (PEs)—
the discrepancy between the predicted and actual outcome of an action. When participants …

Macaque monkeys learn by observation in the ghost display condition in the object-in-place task with differential reward to the observer
Observational learning has been investigated in monkeys mainly using conspecifics or
humans as models to observe. Some studies attempted to clarify the social agent's role and …

Observational threat learning influences costly avoidance behaviour in healthy humans
Avoidance is an essential behaviour for ensuring safety in uncertain and dangerous
environments. One way to learn what is dangerous and must be avoided is through …

A naturalistic environment to study visual cognition in unrestrained monkeys
Macaque monkeys are widely used to study vision. In the traditional approach, monkeys are
brought into a lab to perform visual tasks while they are restrained to obtain stable eye …

Social modulation of cognition: Lessons from rhesus macaques relevant to education
Any animal, human or non-human, lives in a world where there are others like itself.
Individuals' behaviors are thus inevitably influenced by others, and cognition is no …

[HTML][HTML] Role of the social actor during social interaction and learning in human-monkey paradigms
The social interactions between primates is drawn by their ability to predict others'
behaviours, to learn from others' actions and to represent others' intentions. It allows them to …

Towards an understanding of the neural dynamics of intentional learning: considering the timescale
H Ruge, U Wolfensteller - NeuroImage, 2016 - Elsevier
Abstract Recently, Hampshire et al.(2016) published a paper in NeuroImage investigating
the involvement of frontal networks in two types of 'intentional learning'. This included the …
