Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 51-9 (September 2021) . - p.3245-3255 Titre : Sensitivity to Social Agency in Autistic Adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : E. J. MORGAN, Auteur ; T. FOULSHAM, Auteur ; M. FREETH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3245-3255 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult  Autism Spectrum Disorder/diagnosis  Autistic Disorder  Eye Movements  Humans  Social Behavior  Autism  Social agency  Social facilitation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The presence of other people, whether real or implied, can have a profound impact on our behaviour. However, it is argued that autistic individuals show decreased interest in social phenomena, which leads to an absence of these effects. In this study, the agency of a cue was manipulated such that the cue was either described as representing a computer program or the eye movements of another participant. Both neurotypical and autistic participants demonstrated a social facilitation effect and were significantly more accurate on a prediction task when they believed the cue represented another participant. This demonstrates that whilst autistic adults may show difficulties in interpreting social behaviour this does not necessarily arise from a lack of sensitivity to social agency.
