Abstract
Examining the role of memory in social cognition
Highlights
The contributions to this Research Topic have examined this intersection between cognitive and social neuroscience, exploring the importance of memory to social cognition
The network of brain regions supporting the recollection of prior experiences allows one to imagine the experiences of other people (Hassabis et al, 2013)
In navigating the social world, we must often retrieve, maintain, manipulate, and update the information we have about other people
Summary
The contributions to this Research Topic have examined this intersection between cognitive and social neuroscience, exploring the importance of memory to social cognition. What has become increasingly clear is that memory interacts with social cognitive processes in a diversity of meaningful and interesting ways. The convergence of findings across the papers is very encouraging and provides good support for the central proposition that memory is a significant contributor to adaptive social cognition.
