  • The Relationship between Autistic Traits and the Ability to make Judgements from Faces

We must make suitable evaluations of the people that we interact with in our daily lives so that we can adapt our own behaviour accordingly; for example, are they telling us the truth or deceiving us? Some people are better than others at making social evaluations of other people. This project evaluates the relationship between the ability to make social evaluations of faces and the presence of Autistic Traits in typical adults.
