    "abstract": "Values drive our behavioral choices. Ample research has\nexplored the cognitive and neural underpinnings of value-\nbased computations related to decision-making. However,\nbehaviorally relevant values that we associate with real-world\nobjects are often not monetary. For instance, social values\nassociated with specific people are crucial for social\nbehaviors and interactions. Moreover, understanding and\nattributing social values allows for proper evaluations of\npotential interactions with others, and can lead to more\nbeneficial social behaviors and relationships. Learning social\nvalues has been shown to recruit the same systems as reward\nvalues, however how they become associated with specific\npeople remains to be established. The present study examined\nsocial value learning of other people using naturalistic face\nimages. We found that before learning, distances between the\nfaces in conceptual similarity spaces were organized\ncorresponding to their perceptual similarity. However, after\nlearning, faces were shifted in a manner that reflected\nsimilarity of their associated social values (generosity).\nFurthermore, distances were positively correlated with a post-\nlearning index of preference to interact with a person in a\nfuture cooperative game. In other words, learned social values\nof the faces seemed to influence their representations in\nconceptual space, and such representational changes were\nrelated to propensities in future behavior.",
