INVITED SYMPOSIUM ABSTRACT Social communication and
interactions: methodological approaches
Expression
and movements represent potential keys to
individuate early clinical markers and new
insight for supportive treatments on
socio-communicative competencies. Various
methods exist to estimate behavioural and
physiological and brain responses. The
retrospective home-video analyses seem to be a
promising approach to identify the very first
moments of abnormal behaviour in children with
neurodevelopmental disorders as Autism
spectrum disorder. There is evidence that the
capacities to recognize the facial
expressions, using standardized images, and
their own affective states, through
self-reports, are convergent and
proportionally impaired with the ADOS scores.
Despite the potentiality, limits and
constraints should be considered.
Physiological indexes and self-reports can be
differentiated during emotion processing.
Moreover, mental states of listeners can
modify the brain activation in response to
emotional sounds. However research conducted
on the link between empathy, emotion, and
intelligence in normal emotional processing
may be relevant for understanding deficits in
social communication and interactions.
