ABSTRACT

The inhibition as a process is directly implied in the general functioning of the cognitive system. The Perspective taking of the other is a new category in the neuroscience´s field of investigations, it implies how we understand and represent the other. Social cognition´s tasks are used to its analysis such as the Director´s task and the self-reference, in both cases self-perspective is inhibited in order to infer the others state of mind and take in account their perspective. It takes an exploratory and comparative cross-sectional research supported in a quantitative methodology. This is an exploratory and comparative investigation, from transversal cut supported by quantitative methodology. The random probability sample was 13 men and 13 women, in order to analyze the differences in the cognitive process associated to this category in each group, using the reaction time and the mistakes committed in the different tasks. The experimental computerized tasks are based in E-Prime v 2.0 software, with which the statistical analysis of tasks is performed. As a result different cognitive processing was obtained associated with the complexity of the tasks and the type of skill that they foster. The inhibition of self perspective and the assumption of others perspective are behaved in different way between men and women.
