Social Cognition and Love

Research into love from a neuroscience perspective identifies two main types: maternal and romantic. Maternal love is driven by the need to protect offspring and involves specific brain areas such as the striated body and frontal cortex.

maternal love

is triggered by the desire to protect mothers towards their children (Zeiki, 2007)

Involved areas

that modify the evaluation of the judgment of mothers towards their children

striated body and a cortical deactivation of the frontal cortex

At the brain level, specific areas such as

reading facial gestures

romantic love

creates feelings of euphoria as it increases

neuro modulators involved

human attachment overcomes social distance by deactivating the reddes used for critical social evaluation (Zeiki, 2007)
What does it depend on?
of the exchange of signals

types of signals

these allow

perceive the intentions of others

parts of the brain involved

prejudices are created through automatic evaluations of people or attractions

the active part is the amygdala

assess the trust that other people generate

For example, research carried out by

Singer and his colleges (As cited by Frith and Frith, 2007)

who studied trust through the game

deliberate processing

This is characterized because we are aware that signals are signals that are impregnated with meanings (Frith and Frith, 2007).

automatic processing

is characterized by that neither the sender nor the receiver are aware of the exchange of signals

Bayliss and Tiperr (as cited By Frith and Frith, 2007)

the direction of the gaze of another person attracts the attention of the object patra who sees it (Bayliss and Tiperr, as cited By Frith and Frith, 2007)

language body posture the facial expression

what is it for?
create a shared world in which human beings can interact (Frith and Frith, 2007)

brain areas involved

The mirror system, areas of touch and pain, are activated when pain is observed

What is it?
is the sum of those processes that allow individuals of the same species to communicate with each other (Frith and Frith, 2007)
