“…However, existing studies on reinforcement learning and psychopathy or antisocial behavior, especially those involving neuroimaging methods, have largely focused and learning for the self, rather than for self and other (simultaneously) (Cutler et al, 2021;Christopoulos & King-Casas, 2015). In previous studies in healthy (young) adults that focused on learning in social contexts, more antisocial behavior and higher psychopathic traits, were both associated with reduced sensitivity for the outcomes of others (Cutler et al, 2021;OConnell et al, 2021). However, it remains unclear whether and how these findings translate to more high-risk and forensic samples.…”

It remains unclear which functional and neurobiological mechanisms in childhood and adolescence are associated with persistent and desistant antisocial behavior in early adulthood. We reviewed the empirical literature and propose a neurocognitive social information processing model for early onset persistent and desistant antisocial behavior in early adulthood, focusing on how young adults evaluate, act upon, monitor, and learn about their goals and self traits. Based on the reviewed literature, we propose that persistent antisocial behavior is characterized by domain-general impairments in self-relevant and goal-related information processing, regulation, and learning, which is accompanied by altered activity in fronto-limbic brain areas. We propose that desistant antisocial development is associated with more effortful information processing, regulation and learning, that possibly balances self-relevant goals and specific situational characteristics. The proposed framework advances insights by considering individual differences such as psychopathic personality traits, and specific emotional characteristics (e.g. valence of social cues), to further illuminate functional and neural mechanisms underlying heterogenous developmental pathways. Finally, we address important open questions and offer suggestions for future research to improve scientific knowledge on general and context-specific expression and development of antisocial behavior in early adulthood
