Exploring the Cognitive Foundations of the Shared Attention Mechanism: Evidence for a Relationship Between Self-Categorization and Shared Attention Across the Autism Spectrum / Daniel P. SKORICH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-5 (May 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 47-5 (May 2017) . - p.1341-1353 Titre : Exploring the Cognitive Foundations of the Shared Attention Mechanism: Evidence for a Relationship Between Self-Categorization and Shared Attention Across the Autism Spectrum Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Daniel P.

Alexander HASLAM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1341-1353 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Shared attention  Self-categorization  Theory of mind  Weak central coherence  Categorization Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The social difficulties of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are typically explained as a disruption in the Shared Attention Mechanism (SAM) sub-component of the theory of mind (ToM) system. In the current paper, we explore the hypothesis that SAM’s capacity to construct the self-other-object relations necessary for shared-attention arises from a self-categorization process, which is weaker among those with more autistic-like traits. We present participants with self-categorization and shared-attention tasks, and measure their autism-spectrum quotient (AQ). Results reveal a negative relationship between AQ and shared-attention, via self-categorization, suggesting a role for self-categorization in the disruption in SAM seen in ASD. Implications for intervention, and for a ToM model in which weak central coherence plays a role are discussed.

Is Social Categorization the Missing Link Between Weak Central Coherence and Mental State Inference Abilities in Autism? Preliminary Evidence from a General Population Sample / Daniel P. SKORICH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-3 (March 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 46-3 (March 2016) . - p.862-881 Titre : Is Social Categorization the Missing Link Between Weak Central Coherence and Mental State Inference Abilities in Autism? Preliminary Evidence from a General Population Sample Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Daniel P. SKORICH, Auteur ; Adrienne R. MAY, Auteur ; Louisa A. TALIPSKI, Auteur ; Marnie H. HALL, Auteur ; Anita J. DOLSTRA, Auteur ; Tahlia B. GASH, Auteur ; Beth H. GUNNINGHAM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.862-881 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Weak central coherence  Theory of mind  Categorization  Social categorization  Self-categorization Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We explore the relationship between the ‘theory of mind’ (ToM) and ‘central coherence’ difficulties of autism. We introduce covariation between hierarchically-embedded categories and social information—at the local level, the global level, or at both levels simultaneously—within a category confusion task. We then ask participants to infer the mental state of novel category members, and measure participants’ autism-spectrum quotient (AQ). Results reveal a positive relationship between AQ and the degree of local/global social categorization, which in turn predicts the pattern of mental state inferences. These results provide preliminary evidence for a causal relationship between central coherence and ToM abilities. Implications with regard to ToM processes, social categorization, intervention, and the development of a unified account of autism are discussed.
