Funded Activity Summary

Can psychopathy inform the cognitive mechanics of social learning? Psychopathic personality traits engender risk for socio-emotional problems and antisocial behaviour; this project should shed light on the mechanisms responsible. It aims to advance our understanding of the origin of psychopathic personality by applying novel theory and methods to investigate the cognitive mechanics of these traits. It is expected that this will lead to new insights into the roles of associative learning and attention, and the underlying neural mechanisms, in social learning and empathy development. Expected outcomes of this project include; significant advances in this field of research, ongoing interdisciplinary collaborations, and highly desirable postgraduate opportunities.
