Literature Review Part III
Literature Review Part III
This week, you will develop Part 3 of the Literature Review section. While developing Part 3, use the following guidelines:
Find at least two articles on the selected topic using the South University Online Library databases (EBSCOhost or ProQuest). Your textbook, Wikipedia, or any other Web source will not be accepted for this assignment.
Write a short summary (one to two paragraphs) for each article.
Write a brief analysis (one to two paragraphs) for each article and relate each analysis to your course and text readings.

social cognition, homeostatic needs, visceral organs, self-other distinction
Interoception describes the processing and awareness of bodily signals arising from visceral organs, essential for the organism’s homeostatic needs. Beyond homeostasis, the integration of exteroceptive and interoceptive signals is required for the coherence of bodily self-awareness. Here, we suggest that interoception also plays a critical role in social cognition. Relating to others as individuals who are distinct from one’s self requires the simultaneous yet distinct co-representation of self and others. We propose that interoceptive awareness appears to stabilise the mental representation of one’s self as distinct from others. A more nuanced understanding of the role of interoception in the representation of others in relation to ourselves is vital to determine its importance in social cognition.

How do we form impressions of people and groups and use these representations to guide our actions? From its inception, social neuroscience has sought to illuminate such complex forms of social cognition, and recently these efforts have been invigorated by the use of computational modeling. Computational modeling provides a framework for delineating specific processes underlying social cognition and relating them to neural activity and behavior. We provide a primer on the computational modeling approach and describe how it has been used to elucidate psychological and neural mechanisms of impression formation, social learning, moral decision making, and intergroup bias.

Literature Review Part III
According to the article “Going at the heart of social cognition: is there a role for interoception in self-other distinction?” by Palmer and Tsakiris, interoception alludes to awareness and processing of the physiological body’s condition. The amalgamation of exteroceptive and interoceptive information is vital as it allows self-awareness in the body (Palmer &Tsakiris, 2018).
