| Research Abstract |
We investigated neurophysiological basis of individual differences in social cognitive ability. The results showed that 1) brain activity for the period of ToM tasks are higher than those for the period of perspective-taking tasks on the right prefrontal area, 2) participants who scored high on the Autism-Spectrum Quotient showed no differences in brain activities between the periods for ToM tasks and perspective-taking tasks, 3) in typical developed participants level of brain activity in agentive perspective-taking task fell between those in ToM tasks and those in spatial perspective-taking task, but there was no differences between two perspective-taking task in high-AQ participants. In sum, the results suggested that some relationship between individual differences in social cognitive ability and neurophysiological activities in the brain. There is a possibility that individual differences in social cognitive ability links neurophysiological activities in prefrontal area.
