Implicit social learning in relation to autistic-like traits
Hudson, Matthew; Nijboer, Tanja C. W.; Jellema, Tjeerd
Abstract
We investigated if variation in autistic traits inthe typically-developed population (using the AutismspectrumQuotient, AQ) influenced implicit learning ofsocial information. In the learning phase, participantsrepeatedly observed two identities whose gaze andexpression conveyed either a pro- or antisocial disposition.These identities were then employed in a gaze-cueingparadigm. Participants made speeded responses to aperipheral target that was spatially pre-cued by a nonpredictivegaze direction. The low AQ group (n = 50)showed a smaller gaze-cueing effect for the antisocial thanfor the prosocial identity. The high AQ group (n = 48)showed equivalent gaze-cueing for both identities. Others'intentions/dispositions can be learned implicitly and affectsubsequent responses to their behavior. This ability isimpaired with increasing levels of autistic traits.
