Conson, Massimiliano; Hamilton, Antonia; De Bellis, Francesco; Errico, Domenico; Improta, Ilaria; Mazzarella, Elisabetta; Trojano, Luigi; Frolli, Alessandro – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Developmental data suggested that mental simulation skills become progressively dissociated from overt motor activity across development. Thus, efficient simulation is rather independent from current sensorimotor information. Here, we tested the impact of bodily (sensorimotor) information on simulation skills of adolescents with Autism Spectrum…
