Social intuition: behavioral and neurobiological considerations (2024)
Journal Article
Jellema, T., Macinska, S. T., O’Connor, R. J., & Skodova, T. (2024). Social intuition: behavioral and neurobiological considerations. Frontiers in Psychology, 15, Article 1336363. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1336363

Social intuition is instrumental in bringing about successful human interactions, yet its behavioral and neural underpinnings are still poorly understood. We focus in this article on the automatic, involuntary, nature of social intuition, rather than... Read More about Social intuition: behavioral and neurobiological considerations.

Visual Attention to Dynamic Emotional Faces in Adults on the Autism Spectrum (2023)
Journal Article
Macinska, S., Lindsay, S., & Jellema, T. (2023). Visual Attention to Dynamic Emotional Faces in Adults on the Autism Spectrum. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-023-05979-8

Using eye-tracking, we studied allocation of attention to faces where the emotional expression and eye-gaze dynamically changed in an ecologically-valid manner. We tested typically-developed (TD) adults low or high in autistic-like traits (Experiment... Read More about Visual Attention to Dynamic Emotional Faces in Adults on the Autism Spectrum.

Memory for facial expressions on the autism spectrum: The influence of gaze direction and type of expression (2022)
Journal Article
Macinska, S., & Jellema, T. (2022). Memory for facial expressions on the autism spectrum: The influence of gaze direction and type of expression. Autism Research, 15(5), 870-880. https://doi.org/10.1002/aur.2682

Face memory research in autism has largely neglected memory for facial expressions, in favor of memory for identity. This study in three experiments examined the role of gaze direction and type of expression on memory for facial expressions in relati...

Implicit social cognition in autism spectrum disorder (2019)
Thesis
Macinska, S. T. (2019). Implicit social cognition in autism spectrum disorder. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221941

Implicit learning about people’s states of mind relies inherently on associated emotions and affective valences, with abstract concepts such as disposition, attitude and intention being an intrinsic part of what is learned. Yet, similarly to studies... Read More about Implicit social cognition in autism spectrum disorder.

The role of pattern extrapolation in the perception of dynamic facial expressions in Autism Spectrum Disorder (2018)
Journal Article
Palumbo, L., Macinska, S. T., & Jellema, T. (2018). The role of pattern extrapolation in the perception of dynamic facial expressions in Autism Spectrum Disorder. Frontiers in Psychology, 9, Article 1918. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.01918

Changes in the intensity and type of facial expressions reflect alterations in the emotional state of the agent. Such "direct" access to the other's affective state might, top-down, influence the perception of the facial expressions that gave rise to...
