Zhang, Wenyun; Zhuo, Shiwei; Li, Xiaoyun; Peng, Weiwei – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by reduced pain empathy--a process that is grounded in first-hand pain perception. Because autistic traits are continuously distributed in the general population, we hypothesized that first-hand pain sensitivity would mediate the link between autistic traits and pain empathy. After controlling for…

Empathy for pain in daily life is more complex than in lab settings and involved higher cognitive abilities. In order to investigate the role of executive function in preschoolers' empathy for pain, we investigated the role of three subcomponents of executive function (inhibitory control, working memory and cognitive flexibility) in children's…

Consistent with a body of previous studies using stimuli depicting somatic…

De Coster, Lize; Wiersema, Jan R.; Deschrijver, Eliane; Brass, Marcel – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2018
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is associated with problems in empathy. Recent research suggests that impaired control over self-other overlap based on motor representations in individuals with autism spectrum disorder might underlie these difficulties. In order to investigate the relationship of self-other…

Thaler, Hanna; Skewes, Joshua C.; Gebauer, Line; Christensen, Peer; Prkachin, Kenneth M.; Jegindø Elmholdt, Else-Marie – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2018
Difficulties in emotion perception are commonly observed in autism spectrum disorder. However, it is unclear whether these difficulties can be attributed to a general problem of relating to emotional states, or whether they specifically concern the perception of others' expressions. This study addressed this question in the context of pain, a…
