Learning in the social being system

Behav Brain Sci. 2024 Jun 27:47:e132. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X23003138.

Abstract

We argue that the core social being system is unlike other core systems in that it participates in frequent, widespread learning. As a result, the social being system is less constant throughout the lifespan and less informationally encapsulated than other core systems. This learning supports the development of the precursors of bias, but also provides avenues for preempting it.
