A mounting body of neuroscience research in the social and moral evaluative abilities of infants and young children suggests the coopting of three domain-general processes involved in attention allocation, approach/avoidance, and intention and action understanding. Electrophysiological investigations demonstrate children's preference for prosocial others, that children's individual differences in moral evaluation predict prosocial behaviors, and that parental values may already influence neural sociomoral computations at quite young ages. This review highlights the importance of a developmental neuroscience approach in clarifying our understanding of early prosocial preference and behavior.
越来越多的神经科学研究表明，婴儿和幼儿在社会和道德评价能力方面，利用了涉及注意力分配、趋近/回避以及意图和动作理解的三种领域一般性过程。电生理学研究表明，儿童更喜欢亲社会的他人，儿童在道德评价方面的个体差异可以预测亲社会行为，并且父母的价值观可能已经在很小的年龄就影响了神经社会道德计算。这篇综述强调了发展神经科学方法在澄清我们对早期亲社会偏好和行为的理解方面的重要性。
