To discover if this lack of empathy can be detected in young children from 11 to 16 years old, the team of psychologists recruited 62 of them with disruptive social behaviors and insensitive personality traits.In addition, 30 children without these characteristics were used as a control group.They were matched according to their cognitive ability, socioeconomic background and ethnicity.

While connecting to a MRI scanner, the children Children were placed with genuine laughter audio clips, along with false laughs and crying noises, then they were asked to rate, on a scale, how much they wanted to join with each sound .

The fearless woman

We all know what fear is.We have experienced it on countless occasions: that feeling of helplessness and vulnerability when we perceive a dangerous situation, that "getting your hair on end" when we are facing a threat or when we remember what we have been through and about to suffer. Fear is a necessary emotion , primary, that warns us of the dangers .It is related to anxiety and manifests itself in all animals, including human beings. But there is a woman, whom we have known recently, who does not know him and he has never experienced it; You don't literally know what fear is. Valentia or disorder?

No doubt in our lives we have felt all kinds of fear: to lose someone, to darkness, to failure, to ghosts, to su

3 Psychological experiments that went too far
