What has neuroimaging research of moral reasoning in individuals with antisocial personalities shown?
What will be an ideal response?
In one study exploring moral reasoning in people who show antisocial behaviors indicative of poor moral reasoning, malfunctions were noted in several areas within the prefrontal cortex, including the dorsal and ventral regions. Additionally, impairments in the amygdala, hippocampus, angular gyrus, anterior cingulate, and temporal cortex also were observed. Recall that the anterior cingulate is involved in decision making and the hippocampus is involved in working memory. Therefore, it is to be expected that malfunctions in these areas would result in deficiencies in reasoning.
