eLife assessment These important findings stand out from other similar studies via some convincing demonstration of behavioural and neural relationships between two helping tasks – one focusing more on social perception, one more on its influence on social behaviour – that were performed more than 300 days apart. The claims however would be stronger with a larger sample size.

Linear mixed model analyses of choice and response time data. Learning Phase–Participants first learned the valences of 4 scene (Scene task) or 4 object (Object task) stimuli over 120 trials by making approach or avoid key presses to individually presented stimuli. Approaching a positive stimulus led to the reward of game points, whereas approaching a negative stimulus led to the loss of game points. An avoid response had no impact on game points regardless of stimulus valence.

Using a novel fMRI social perception task, we show that both merit and need perceptions recruited the brain's social inference network.
