Which of the following accurately describes the “As if” Stance?
This question has 2 correct answers to score 1 point.
Why is the “As if” stance important in empathic attunement?
Mirror neurons are so numerous in the human brain they are considered to comprise hard-wired systems in the brain that operate to produce a non-cognitively mediated “embodied simulation experience.” This phenomenon allows us to sense/feel the other’s experience on an unconscious, kinesthetic level. The embodied simulation phenomenon helps make the cognitive processes associated with empathy, including the ability to take the “as if” stance more effective, thus supporting our ability to tune in to another’s inner experience without merging or projecting personal feelings.

Can “sympathy” mirror someone’s happiness and strengths?
Can “sympathy” undermine ones’ sense of agency?
Sympathy can reinforce a sense-of-self that may be organized around feelings of victimhood, powerlessness and low-self-esteem.
As we described in this course, is empathy a One-way or Two-way communication process?
Who is the final judge about whether an attempt to understand the other’s feelings is empathic?
If you are very concerned for the other person, but the recipient of your empathy doesn’t feel understood, have you achieved empathic attunement?
Is forming a supposition about what the other person is feeling always a conscious effort?
Your attempt to put yourself in the other person’s shoes and tune in to their inner experience is either a conscious or unconscious process.
How might the recipient of your attempted empathic attunement provide feedback about your empathic accuracy?

Are “mirror neuron systems” a hard-wired or cognitive aspect of the empathic attunement process?
“Mirror Neuron Systems” – Mirror neurons are so numerous in the human brain they are considered to comprise hard-wired systems in the brain that operate to produce a non-cognitively mediated “embodied simulation experience.” This provides an automatic, hard-wired connection between individual minds that helps us feel each other’s feelings and emotions without cognitive thought processes.
Are “mirror neuron systems” the same thing as “mirroring” someone’s inner feelings?
Our ability to be empathic requires both embodied simulation (non-cognitive mirroring) made possible by our mirror neuron systems, as well as the cognitively driven process of choosing how we respond to the other in the moment, i.e., putting yourself in the other person’s shoes.
Mirror Neuron Systems in humans help us to…?

Can empathic ability be developed in adults?
Is the potential for empathic ability hard-wired?
Is the hard-wired aspect of empathy all that is required to understand human behavior and intentions?
What childhood experience models behavior that facilitates the development of empathic ability.
Childhood (and adult) relational experiences create neural representations and synaptic firing patterns in the brain that strengthen overtime with repetition. They will continue to strengthen unless they are “perturbed” and replaced with new neural representations.
