From birth onward, social interaction is central to our everyday lives. Our ability to seek out social partners, flexibly navigate and learn from social interactions, and develop social relationships is critically important for our social and cognitive development and for our mental and physical health. Despite the importance of our social interactions, the neurodevelopmental bases of such interactions are underexplored, as most research examines social processing in noninteractive contexts. We begin this chapter with evidence from behavioral work and adult neuroimaging studies demonstrating how social-interactive context fundamentally alters cognitive and neural processing. We then highlight four brain networks that play key roles in social interaction and, drawing on existing developmental neuroscience literature, posit the functional roles these networks may play in social-interactive development. We conclude by discussing how a social-interactive neuroscience approach holds great promise for advancing our understanding of both typical and atypical social development.
从出生起，社交互动就成为我们日常生活的核心。我们寻找社交伙伴、灵活应对和从社交互动中学习以及发展社交关系的能力，对我们的社交和认知发展以及我们的身心健康都至关重要。尽管社交互动非常重要，但此类互动的神经发育基础仍未得到充分探索，因为大多数研究都在非互动环境中检查社会处理。在本章中，我们首先从行为工作和成人神经影像学研究的证据开始，这些证据表明社会互动的背景从根本上改变了认知和神经处理。然后，我们重点介绍了在社会互动中发挥关键作用的四个大脑网络，并借鉴现有的发展神经科学文献，提出这些网络在社会互动发展中可能发挥的功能作用。最后，我们讨论了社会互动神经科学方法如何为我们理解典型和非典型的社会发展提供巨大的帮助。
