Project

A Functional-Cognitive Perspective on Social Modulation of Imitation in Individuals With and Without Autism Spectrum Disorder

Evidence on social modulation of imitation is mixed and inconclusive, due to the absence of a strong theoretical framework and low ecological validity of previous studies. With this project, we aim to resolve both issues, by combining a functional-cognitive framework with an ecologically valid virtual-reality task, to investigate social modulation of imitation in individuals with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder.
