Topic 2016

This Summer School builds upon the success of the previous summer schools on “Embodied Intersubjectivity” (2013), “Shared Experiences” (2014) and “The Social Self” (2015). At this year’s Summer School, we would like to examine how facts about our bodies and the physical ways we interact with one another shape social cognition, defined as the capacity to understand and engage in intentional relations with others. The programme will give us a chance to review the latest research on social cognition carried on in different fields, from developmental psychology, social and affective neuroscience, clinical psychology, experimental psychology, psychophysiology and philosophy.
