Treatment Information Social implicit in people with autism: the case of social feedback.
Social interaction is based on the treatment, very complex, a very large amount of information whose nature is diverse. The purpose of social interaction itself is variable, but we know it plays a major role when it comes to an individual, whether his actions, his behaviors are socially acceptable or not. In fact, it is often the interpretation of the reaction of others that we know if we can continue in one direction or radically changing lanes. The reaction of others is a kind of social feedback. The two types of information are: information that provides direct access to the mental state of others as defined by Baron-Cohen in the context of theory of mind (Baron-Cohen, Leslie & Frith, 1985; Rutherford, Baron-Cohen & Wheelwright, 2002), and information that allows indirect access to this mental state following a cognitive activity inference.
The first information can be characterized feedback explicit social ("what you do is unacceptable"), while the second may be described feedback implicit social (frown a kindergarten teacher to tell a child he should not be painted on the sleeves of his shirt). In the latter case, the facial expression more often (sometimes emotional) prosody (the tone used to talk), or gestures that reflect the mental state of a person with whom we interact. It is the role of social information processing that, in the context of learning, we are interested. Our investigations involve "ordinary" people (non-specific disorders within the information processing social) but also a population quite essential for the identification of the consequences of incompetence in the treatment of social information: These are individuals with Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) including autism (DSM-IV F84.0) and people with Asperger syndrome (F84.2 DSM-IV). In fact, the international definition of diagnostic criteria for ASD (APA, 1994; WHO, 1992) foregrounds the problems of social information processing disorders, having a direct impact on the level of social participation of individuals.
