Title: Social motivation and social cognition in autism: what are the links?
Autism Spectrum Disorders are characterized by pervasive social deficits.
The idea that impaired Theory of Mind is a primary cause behind these
impairments has had a profound impact on the field and remains one of the
most prominent accounts of the condition. In this talk, I will sketch out
an alternative framework based on the idea that social motivation is a
driving force guiding human behaviour and that disruption of these
motivational mechanisms is a core deficit in autism. In this framework,
deficits in social interest are construed as a consequence, rather than a
cause, of impairments in social cognition.
PLEASE NOTE: Our seminar room has a limited capacity. Please arrive early
to ensure you get a seat. The talk will begin promptly at 5.
