Aperçu: G.M.
Les
déficiences de l'interaction sociale et de la communication sont des
caractéristiques critiques de la TSA, mais les processus sous-jacents
sont mal compris. Une
zone sous-explorée est la synchronisation motrice sociale qui se
produit lorsque nous coordonnons notre corps avec d'autres.
L'étude a exploré les relations entre les mesures dynamiques de la synchronisation motrice sociale et les évaluations des traits TSA.
L'étude montre que
(a) la synchronisation motrice sociale spontanée était
associée à la réponse à l'attention, à la coopération et à la théorie
de l'esprit, tandis que la synchronisation motrice sociale
intentionnelle était associée à l'initiation de l'attention et de la
théorie de l'esprit;
(b) la synchronisation motrice sociale a été associée à la sévérité du TSA mais pas entièrement expliquée par les problèmes moteurs.

Abstract
Impairments
in social interaction and communication are critical features of ASD
but the underlying processes are poorly understood. An under-explored
area is the social motor synchronization that happens when we coordinate
our bodies with others. Here, we explored the relationships between
dynamical measures of social motor synchronization and assessments of
ASD traits. We found (a) spontaneous social motor synchronization was
associated with responding to joint attention, cooperation, and theory
of mind while intentional social motor synchronization was associated
with initiating joint attention and theory of mind; and (b) social motor
synchronization was associated with ASD severity but not fully
explained by motor problems. Findings suggest that objective measures of
social motor synchronization may provide insights into understanding
ASD traits.
