  1. Hi my name is Hayley Berg and this is my video
  2. project for social cognition and that would be chapter 3.5.
  3. The chapter defines social cognition as the way we
  4. think about other people social relationships and social institutions.
  5. Now, after I read this chapter,
  6. it had me thinking what I wanted to search and learn more
  7. about for social cognition which led me to one of the three articles
  8. for my first article I started very basic
  9. Can social interact interaction constitute social cognition?
  10. So in this article,
  11. the authors were curious about how interaction
  12. interaction better helps us understand social cognition.
  13. Therefore if we are watching and observing
  14. interactions we can better understand social cognition.
  15. Now, in terms two of social interactions,
  16. there is understanding verbal versus non verbal communication which happens
  17. for everyone.
  18. Um also there's engagement.
  19. Now engagement is something that you can have with or without other people around
  20. and the um
  21. and the book defined this as an imaginary audience so therefore you
  22. can have social cognition occurring even if you are not around the
  23. influence of other peers.
  24. Lastly this video or I'm sorry,
  25. this article uh talked about how
  26. defining social interactions is actually subjective,
  27. which I thought was quite interesting.
  28. Now after reading this article, I moved on to my next one which is called
  29. different associations between intelligence and social cognition in
  30. Children with and without autism spectrum disorder.
  31. So very obviously I thought this was interesting because it
  32. was comparing two different types of Children's on learning skills.
  33. So
  34. pardon me the first obviously is autism spectrum disorder which is uh
  35. shortened to ASD.
  36. And they were comparing them to typically developing Children which is called TD.
  37. Now they were talking about how Children with ASD can suffer from social
  38. impairment difficulties and this mainly affects them in the areas of education,
  39. employment and independently living.
  40. So many people with autism have this have these areas of difficulties
  41. throughout their development and then into their later red and black.
  42. Um The article also discussed that people with autism who have a higher verbal I. Q.
  43. They associate with better social communication.
  44. So they had better social cognition and and social interactions.
  45. But the problem with this study was it was done only on women with ASD.
  46. Two types of checklists and tests that are used with autism disorder is the social
  47. communication disorders checklists and Children communication checklist
  48. as well as the social responsiveness scale,
  49. the srs scale And they used these scales to
  50. actually um compare and contrast the ASD versus the TD
  51. students and they did come to find out that
  52. those with ASD did struggle more with social cognition.
  53. However, as I mentioned before, those with higher verbal I. Q.
  54. Tend to do better with social communication.
  55. Now,
  56. my last article is called association between the mother's
  57. social cognition and the child's social functioning in kindergarten,
  58. the mediating role of a child of the child's social cognition.
  59. Now I thought this is really interesting because as many of us I know um
  60. where we live and who were around as a child definitely plays into our development.
  61. Mm hmm.
  62. So they found as I just mentioned that social cognition plays
  63. a role in personal development and personal development of social relationships.
  64. So the relationship that is had between the
  65. caregiver and the child is really important.
  66. And it definitely sets the foundation for that child's social cognition,
  67. meaning that depending on the parents type of social cognition personally
  68. or their how they are socially personally can affect
  69. their child can and will affect their child.
  70. So this article continued to talk about a
  71. study that was conducted with 301 kindergartners.
  72. Um they were in Israel actually.
  73. So as kindergartners and their mothers, some of these kindergartners did have um
  74. siblings.
  75. Nonetheless,
  76. they were curious about the attachments theory and the parenting styles that
  77. these women had with their Children and how it affected the child.
  78. Social cognition.
  79. So with this they tested the woman's social information processing and really
  80. used that as a way to see how the child development developed.
  81. So they found that if a woman had more of an authoritarian parenting style,
  82. it definitely reflected whatever parenting style that woman had,
  83. it reflected how that child's social cognition would develop.
  84. So, I think it's really
  85. interesting to see that
  86. our social cognition is influenced by so many different things.
  87. Whether it's how you develop because of the people around
  88. you or if you have a learning difficulty etcetera.
  89. It social cognition is a really important part of our development.
  90. Lastly, here are my references
  91. and that's it. Thank you so much for listening.
