SUMMARY:Liane Young, Boston College
DESCRIPTION:<p>Title: The Structure of Morality</p><p>Description: The capacity to process mental states like beliefs and intentions, theory of mind (ToM), is crucial for moral judgment (e.g., distinguishing murder from manslaughter). In this talk, we'll look at the role of ToM not just for moral judgment but also for moral behavior across distinct social contexts (e.g., cooperation vs competition) as well as for distinguishing moral propositions from non-moral propositions (i.e., facts, preferences). We will use the approach of looking at the role of ToM to investigate the structure of morality - to test claims about distinct moral domains, distinct moral motivations, and distinct features of moral versus non-moral processing. The talk will include neural evidence as well as behavioral evidence from adults and children.</p>
