    Your Brain's Social Learning Hijack

    Miglior citazione da Your Brain's Social Learning Hijack

    “

    Your brain treats the other person's expression of pain as a 'vicarious reinforcer.' It's like your brain says, 'I can't feel that shock directly, but I can see the consequences of it, and I can use that information just like I would use a direct shock.'
