Dissociation Between Key Processes of Social Cognition in Autism: Impaired Mentalizing But Intact Sense of Agency / Nicole DAVID in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38-4 (April 2008)

Both imitation and mentalizing are at the core of the sense of agency, the awareness that we are the initiators of our own behavior. Little evidence exists regarding the sense of agency in autism. Thus, we compared high-functioning adults with autism to healthy control subjects using an action monitoring and attribution task. Subjects with autism did not show deficits in this task, yet they showed significant mentalizing deficits. Our findings indicate a dissociation between the sense of agency and ascription of mental states in autism. We propose that social-cognitive deficits in autism may arise on a higher level than that of action monitoring and awareness.

Investigation of Mentalizing and Visuospatial Perspective Taking for Self and Other in Asperger Syndrome / Nicole DAVID in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 40-3 (March 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 40-3 (March 2010) . - p.290-299 Titre : Investigation of Mentalizing and Visuospatial Perspective Taking for Self and Other in Asperger Syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Nicole DAVID, Auteur ; Natacha S. SANTOS, Auteur ; Fritz-Georg LEHNHARDT, Auteur ; Kai VOGELEY, Auteur ; Carolin AUMANN, Auteur ; Bettina H. BEWERNICK, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.290-299 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Social-cognition Mentalizing Visuospatial-perspective-taking- Asperger-Syndrome Autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Mentalizing refers to making inferences about other people’s mental states, whereas visuospatial perspective taking refers to inferring other people’s viewpoints. Both abilities seem vital for social functioning; yet, their exact relationship is unclear. We directly compared mentalizing and visuospatial perspective taking in nineteen adults with Asperger syndrome (AS) and fifteen control participants with the same stimulus material. Stimuli depicted virtual characters surrounded by two different objects. Virtual characters expressed a preference for one of the objects indicated by facial expression, gestures or head/body orientation. Compared to controls, participants with AS showed significantly increased reaction times and decreased accuracy for mentalizing (i.e., when inferring the virtual character’s preference from the character’s nonverbal bodily cues). By contrast, there were no significant group differences in perspective taking (i.e., by mental own-body transformations). These findings demonstrate, first, specific deficits in AS when mental states have to be inferred from nonverbal social cues. Second, visuospatial perspective taking may not necessarily be related to social impairments occurring in autism spectrum disorders.
