Answer 1

Jacob had trouble matching his facial expressions to the appropriate emotion or correctly interpreting others' emotional cues from their facial expressions. He needed more help from his mirror neurons.

Answer 2

The correct answer is mirror neurons.

Mirror neurons (MNS) refer to a category of brain cells that fire or are activated when an individual or animal performs an action, or watches someone else perform the same action. In this instance, if Jacob's MNS performed correctly, he would be able to match his facial expressions to appropriate emotions, or correctly interpret others' emotional cues from their facial expressions.
