| 英文摘要 | Animate cues enjoy priority in attentional processes as they carry survival-relevant information and herald social interaction. Here we investigated whether the attentional preference for animacy reflects social perception and whether this attention effect varies with the social abilities in general populations (120 neurotypical college-aged adults), measured by their autistic traits. Using the cueing paradigm, we found a rapid and persistent attentional bias for animals over inanimate cues in observers with relatively low, but not high, autistic traits. Moreover, individual Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) scores were negatively correlated with the attentional bias toward animals, especially at the early orienting stage. These results were not simply due to low-level visual factors, as inverted or phase-scrambled pictures did not yield a similar pattern. Our findings highlight the prominence of animacy in selective attention and reveal its link with autistic traits, suggesting the critical role of animacy perception in the architecture of social cognition. |
