Joint attention/ social interest & vocabulary development
No. 3: Dawson et al 2004: early social attention impairments in ASD: including social orienting & joint attention i.e. joint attention

Emotion processing- face processing- empathy- Alexithymia
No. 8: Riby & Hancock 2008: Diff between WS & ASD of viewing pattern of social scenes using eye tracking device (in ASD less attention time to faces while watching social scenes compared to WS)

10: Lacroix et al 2009: recognition of emotional & nonemtional facial expressions
12: Plesa_Skwerer et al 2006: to do with Alexithymia

Intro:
The theory of mind largely backed from research from Baron-Cohen (1995) contributes much to our current understanding of social interactive skills, allowing many researchers to build around this theory. Theory of mind (or mentalizing) relates to an umbrella term grounded in the ability to infer other’s mental states, which stretches to guessing others’ emotions, intentions, desires and imaginations (Baron-Cohen 1995). Baron-Cohen (1995) proposes that this cognitive mechanism causatively hinders the normative developmental trajectory
