Social Cognition & Visual Cognition

This is how I understand Social & Visual Cognition

Social cognition can be described as the thinking behind the way people understand and deal with each other. This varies considerably between cultures, as educators we are consistently being reminded of respecting these differences. Understanding the social rules of engagement is critical in establishing social relationships with people and this is why people with autism are often misunderstood as they can’t pick up on the nuances of social engagement, e.g. facial expressions, body language and personal space.
Online communities such as Facebook require social cognition as people are involved in activities that require a set of rules. People will block those who become an online nuisance.
Visual Cognition can be described as the thinking behind the way people see each other or the environment. We recognise these people or things through memories, which allows us to make inferences between what we know and what we see. For example If I meet a new person and I see they are in their early 20s I will relate to them in a different manner than I would if they were in their 80s.
As we know people can easily create an avatar online, so what you see may or may not be reality.
