“…We consider this as one possible approach toward measuring implicit processes to make them comparable to explicit processes with the new Face Puzzle tasks. With regard to the literature on implicit processing of social information in general (e.g., Hudson et al, 2009; Hudson and Jellema, 2011) and related impairments in ASD (Jellema et al, 2009; Hudson et al, 2012; Senju, 2013), previous studies used mostly tasks that assessed unconscious and involuntary processing of social information. For example, a study by Jellema et al (2009) found impairments in involuntarily interpreting social cues in ASD.…”

“…Thereby, the effect of an emotional expression on another psychological construct, e.g., racial attitudes, gender judgments, or attractiveness ratings (see, e.g., Devine et al, 2002; Amodio et al, 2004) are most often assessed indirectly via reaction times or eye movement patterns in response to the stimuli. Other indirect measures, for instance, investigate the influence of particular social cues (e.g., facial expressions or gaze direction) on judgments about body orientation or positioning (Hudson et al, 2009, 2012; Hudson and Jellema, 2011). However, when investigating subtle interindividual differences or impairments in a psychological construct, accuracy scores are of great value (Zaki and Ochsner, 2011).…”

Recognizing others' emotional states is crucial for effective social interaction. While most facial emotion recognition tasks use explicit prompts that trigger consciously controlled processing, emotional faces are almost exclusively processed implicitly in real life. Recent attempts in social cognition suggest a dual process perspective, whereby explicit and implicit processes largely operate independently. However, due to differences in methodology the direct comparison of implicit and explicit social cognition has remained a challenge. Here, we introduce a new tool to comparably measure implicit and explicit processing aspects comprising basic and complex emotions in facial expressions. We developed two video-based tasks with similar answer formats to assess performance in respective facial emotion recognition processes: Face Puzzle, implicit and explicit. To assess the tasks' sensitivity to atypical social cognition and to infer interrelationship patterns between explicit and implicit processes in typical and atypical development, we included healthy adults (NT, n = 24) and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD, n = 24). Item analyses yielded good reliability of the new tasks. Group-specific results indicated sensitivity to subtle social impairments in high-functioning ASD. Correlation analyses with established implicit and explicit socio-cognitive measures were further in favor of the tasks' external validity. Between group comparisons provide first hints of differential relations between implicit and explicit aspects of facial emotion recognition processes in healthy compared to ASD participants. In addition, an increased magnitude of between group differences in the implicit task was found for a speed-accuracy composite measure. The new Face Puzzle tool thus provides two new tasks to separately assess explicit and implicit social functioning, for instance, to measure subtle impairments as well as potential improvements due to social cognitive interventions.

“…It is argued that atypical predictive processing could explain altered perception and sensory experiences in ASD (e.g., Pellicano & Burr, 2012), but may also result in the associated social and communication deficits by affecting the individual's ability to predict others' actions and intentions (Sinha et al, 2014). In line with these theoretical propositions, several empirical studies have reported that individuals with ASD show differences in action prediction (Boria et al, 2009;Cattaneo et al, 2007;Hudson, Burnett, & Jellema, 2012;Schuwerk, Sodian, & Paulus, 2016;Senju et al, 2010;Vivanti, Trembath, & Dissanayake, 2014;Vivanti et al, 2011;Zalla, Labruyère, Clément, & Georgieff, 2010;Zalla, Labruyere, & Georgieff, 2006). Cattaneo and colleagues (2007), for instance, found that typically developing 5 to 9-year-old children show anticipatory muscle activation when performing and observing action sequences.…”

“…However, when participants with ASD did anticipate, their goal anticipations were similar to controls in this study. Interestingly, findings by Hudson, Burnett and Jellema (2012) suggest that while showing typical performance during action prediction, the strategy that individuals with ASD apply may differ from controls.…”

Background: Several studies have reported action prediction difficulties in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Although action prediction develops in infancy, little is known about prediction abilities in infants at risk for ASD. Methods: Using eye tracking, we measured action anticipations in 52 10-month-old infants at high and low familial risk for ASD. Infants were repeatedly presented with actions during which a familiar object (cup/phone) was either brought to a location usually associated with the object (cup-to-mouth/phone-to-ear; usual condition) or to an unusual location (cup-toear/phone-to-mouth; unusual condition). We assessed infants' anticipations to the actual target location (i.e., the location where the object was actually brought; the mouth in cup-tomouth/phone-to-mouth actions; the ear in cup-to-ear/phone-to-ear actions) and the alternative target location (the ear in cup-to-mouth/phone-to-mouth actions; the mouth in cup-to-ear/phone-to-ear actions). Results: Anticipation frequencies were modulated by object knowledge across all infants: We found more frequent anticipations towards the alternative target location for unusual compared to usual actions. This effect was in particular present for mouth anticipations which were also overall more frequent than ear anticipations. Across usual and unusual actions, infants showed more frequent anticipations towards the actual target location, potentially representing a learning effect elicited by the repeated action presentation. Importantly, there were no differences between the low-and high-risk infants in predictive eye movements. Conclusion: Whereas our results suggest that familial risk for ASD does not affect action prediction in infancy, future research needs to investigate whether differences are apparent in those high-risk infants who later receive a diagnosis.

“…In addition, RM has been investigated within special populations 2 such as children born preterm and at term (Taylor & Jakobson, 2010), and those individuals with 3 autism spectrum disorder (Hudson, Burnett & Jellema, 2012). The typical RM effects observed 4 within past research have been hypothesised to reflect an anticipatory component of perception 5 which supports effective action (for a review of RM findings and theory see Hubbard, 2005).…”
