Autism Research on Emotions - Dictionary of Arguments
Slater I 158 Emotion/autism research: in a spontaneous photograph sorting task where two possible criteria — emotional and non- emotional (e.g. the identity of the person in the photograph) — can be used, children with (low functioning) autism often prefer non-emotional sorting criteria while typically developing (TD) participants spontaneously favor the emotional ones (Davies, Bishop, Manstead, & Tantam, 1994(1); Weeks & Hobson, 1987(2)). This difference disappears when the emotional criterion is made relevant (i.e., “Which ones would be likely to give you a sweet?”; Begeer, Rieffe, Terwogt, & Stockmann, 2006)(3). Finally, the participant’s own intrinsic motivation to attend to social stimuli can also be influential. For instance, Kahana-Kalman and Goldman (Kahana-Kalman & Goldman, 2008)(4) demonstrated that five-year-old children with ASD were better at matching facial and vocal expressions of emotion when these were portrayed by their mother, compared to an unfamiliar adult. >Emotion/Baron-Cohen, >Autism/psychological theories, >Theory of Mind/psychological theories. 1.
