Looking back 25 years into neuropsychology's past coincides almost perfectly with the birth of social neuroscience as a discipline. Social neuroscience aims to identify the biological bases of social behavior through multilevel analyses of neural, cognitive, and social processes. Neuropsychology, on the other hand, aspires to understand brain-behavior relationships more generally. Given that much of human behavior comprises social interactions, the goals, theories, methods, and findings derived from social neuroscience are likely to have bearing on the issues and interests of neuropsychologists. This review summarizes some of the main developments that have emerged from social neuroscience and their relevance to neuropsychology. Applications of social neuroscience principles are presented in the context of brain insult, assessment, and intervention. Recommendations are made for improving neuropsychological approaches to the evaluation of social cognition and competence. In closing, a discussion of the challenges and possible future directions for the 2 disciplines is offered. (PsycINFO Database Record
回顾神经心理学25年的历史，几乎与社会神经科学作为一门学科的诞生完全吻合。社会神经科学旨在通过对神经、认知和社会过程的多层次分析，确定社会行为的生物学基础。另一方面，神经心理学更普遍地致力于理解脑与行为的关系。鉴于人类行为的很大一部分包括社会互动，社会神经科学得出的目标、理论、方法和研究结果可能与神经心理学家关注的问题和兴趣相关。本综述总结了社会神经科学的一些主要进展及其与神经心理学的相关性。在脑损伤、评估和干预的背景下介绍了社会神经科学原理的应用。针对改进社会认知和能力评估的神经心理学方法提出了建议。最后，对这两个学科面临的挑战和可能的未来方向进行了讨论。（PsycINFO数据库记录）
