Taking Another Person's Perspective Increases Self-Referential Neural Processing
Open accessAbstract
The ability to adopt the perspective of another person has been identified as a critical component of social functioning that pre-dicts level of empathic concern for other individuals (Davis, 1983) and level of category-based responding toward out-groups (Gal-insky&Moskowitz, 2000).One explanation for these effects holds that in taking another person’s perspective, one comes to treat that person as more ‘‘selflike’’; indeed, the extent to which perceivers describe another person as sharing their own personality attri-butes increases after they imagine an event from that person’s perspective (Davis, Conklin, Smith, & Luce, 1996). An alterna-tive explanation, however, is that perspective taking might lead only to a shift in non-self-based social-cognitive processes de-ployed when considering the minds of others (Mitchell, Heath-erton, &Macrae, 2002). How exactly does taking another person’s perspective lead to greater overlap between self and other?

“Its involvement may reflect self-oriented processing, as the anterior PFC is implicated in perspective-taking (Ames et al., 2008), prospection (Addis et al., 2007) and self-reflection (Modinos et al., 2009).”

“Finally, participants were also scanned (two runs of 130 acquisitions) while completing an explicit self-reference task (Kelley et al., 2002) that has been used frequently to identify brain regions that respond preferentially during judgments of the self.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
