Frames of reference in human social decision making

Abstract:
This chapter argues that understanding the frame of reference in which neural activity changes is fundamental to understanding the function of that activity. It discusses how social influences modify action selection and cognitive control. It then argues that socially derived rewards and decision values activate portions of the ventral striatum and ventromedial prefrontal cortex. The chapter also discusses studies that use the reinforcement learning (RL) model in tracking the behavior of a partner in a socially interactive setting.
