| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The foundation of human psychological functioning lies in our ability not only to share perceptions and mental states with others but also to differentiate them from our own (self-other representations). The purpose of this project was to shed light on the dynamic process of self-other representations, based on the hypothesis that interactions between our bodies and the environment, including others, play a vital role in their development. Based on cognitive models grounded in data obtained from adult humans, we formulated a hypothesis concerning the emergence and development of self-other representations. Subsequently, we assessed the validity of this hypothesis through both theoretical and experimental approaches. Lastly, drawing upon the framework of computational developmental neuroscience, we presented a comprehensive cognitive model that elucidates the emergence and development of self-other representations.
