| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
According to recent typical and atypical development studies, even 2-year-old children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have atypical preference for human bodily motion. In this study, we have tried to reveal the way of representation of ‘communicative signal’ embedded in human bodily motion and how it is processed in the neural system. We have developed an experimental paradigm to extract an event-related potential component which is sensitive to human bodily motion and found an atypical modulation of the component in children and adults with ASD. We further explored the way of representation of communicative signals embedded in bodily motion revelaed by behavioral experiments.
