Conclusions

• Since ASD is characterised by problems in social cognition this suggessts sdds Validity to the idea that neurons have an important role in social cognitions - abnormalities in mn - associated with asd
• MNS can explain why women are in general more socially sensitive and empathet than males - brain activity - much stronger- vs males
• Brain regions involved in social cognitions and social cognitions themselves are much more complex in humans than animals - unethical - evidence based from animals - tendency
• Gopink states their role in social cognitions is over exaggerated and moral/social behaviour can be explained by mirror neurons and imitation alone - individual cells - point to differences - raises questions
