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.
