Cognitive load selectively interferes with utilitarian moral judgment
An fMRI investigation of empathy for ‘social pain’ and subsequent prosocial behavior
The Neural Correlates of Empathy: Experience, Automaticity, and Prosocial Behavior
TLDR
Assessing empathic responses to sad images under three conditions, higher levels of self-reported experienced empathy and activity in empathy-related areas, notably MPFC, were higher in the empathize condition than in the load condition, suggesting that empathy is not a fully automatic experience.
