A neuropsychology of deception and self-deception
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
As more criminals are imprisoned, other individuals change their behavior to replace them, as predicted by the “floating niche” theory of strategic behavior. The physiological correlates of sociopathy suggest that research in cognitive neuroscience can lead toward a solution. Promising pathways include building upon current knowledge of self-deceit, the independence of positive and negative emotions, the lateralization of risk and caution, and the conditions promoting prosocial behavior.
