People have different abilities.Difficult to argue with that.Most of the differences in the skill and ability to detect easily.However, the lack of talent in the field, which studies social cognition, can be seen immediately.If the knowledge and skills in the field of social interaction in humans are scarce, it is perceived as rude, strange, unadapted.
What is social cognition?This is a special sphere of knowledge, which investigates the laws by which people generally tend to work with the information society.Firstly, it deals with the knowledge of how people encrypt and decrypt data on the social networks.A man who can not do it, try to join the company, which shows the position of the bodies, that it is closed.As a result, members of the company will feel awkward, but violates the unwritten rules people can feel it even once.
Secondly, social cognition is interested in how people organize information about the society in his mind.A person usually learns about rules and exceptions, and based on the knowledge of general principles can make decisions in non-social situations.That's just the process of making those decisions and is the subject of research.Specificity of social cognition is that the process of working with such information is not always easy to trace.Therefore it is necessary to take much in the form of hypotheses.
Third, social cognition has been studying the process of finding the man of social information.For example, ask a relative, the second will seek information on the Internet, and the third just fill in the library card of a book on etiquette.And these differences are interesting to scientists engaged in discussion of scientific discipline.
Fourth, researchers are very interested in how a person manages information it has received.It is possible to know a lot - and will still make one mistake after another, gain enemies, and attracting a lot of criticism.
Lately particularly serious connections formed between this discipline and neuropsychology.That is, the complexity of human fellowship with like considered in connection with investigations of the functioning of the brain of the subject.We found that problems with frontal lobes of the brain almost automatically mean difficulties in social adaptation.He becomes unable to make sound judgments about the relationships between people and themselves find it difficult to interact.
people with some mental illnesses, too, are unable or poor talent to work with the information society.Their vision of the world sometimes becomes so changed that interact with them apparently healthy becomes easy.
modern researchers are especially interesting questions about how mental illnesses are associated with cognitive processes involved in the formation of the concept of life in society.Either of these processes, in contrast, affected by poor skills and knowledge.One of the signs that can predict a poor social adaptation, is the inability to recognize faces.But we must clarify that this trait diagnostichen only for adults, children inability to recognize faces may be due to late maturation of the relevant areas of the brain.Scientists argue, as the inability to be innate.
Children with Williams syndrome, or showing signs of autism are unable to recognize faces of their loved ones, while the normal children learn to do it before the age of one year.
Social cognition - a young area of knowledge, more developed in the West.Maybe that's you, the reader, enter the number of the first domestic light of this science?
