| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The studies clarified the developmental origins of communicative abilities/biases in relation to the empathetic systems. The main findings are as follows: Involuntary facial mimicry in infants, and the differences in TD and ASD individuals. The other's gaze serves as reinforcement for learning by infants. Spontaneous informing to the other reflecting her/his epistemic states, and concern about the epistemic gaps by 1.5-y.o. Upstream reciprocity in preschoolers. The commonality and difference in avoidance of "calculating" agents between adults and preschoolers. Emergence of preference for the story ending reflecting Karma around 7-y.o. Pointing out the importance of "We" concept to approach human empathetic systems. Effect of oxytocin on facial-visual search performance, etc. We examined empathy-related cognitive/behavioral abilities in other species by collaboration with other projects and contributed to clarifying the phylogenetic origins of the empathetic systems.
