Individual Differences in Theory of Mind From Preschool to Adolescence: Achievements and Directions (2015, neutral): “In a study of 10-year-olds (22), advanced theory-of-mind tasks, including the vignette-based Strange Stories task (19), the animation-based Triangles Task (18), and the film-based Silent Film task (21), loaded onto a single latent factor.”
Enhanced Perceptual Functioning in Autism: An Update, and Eight Principles of Autistic Perception (2006, background): “The autistic group investigated by Castelli et al. (2002) displayed a minor, non-significant superior activation of extrastriate areas, but also an inferior synchrony of the latter areas with the superior temporal sulcus while looking at animated shapes which represent social interaction for…”
Abnormal functional connectivity of default mode sub-networks in autism spectrum disorder patients (2010, background): “Several neuroimaging studies demonstrated reduced autism FC during the performance of different cognitive tasks (Castelli et al., 2002; Just et al., 2007, 2004; Kana et al., 2006, 2009, 2007; Kleinhans et al., 2008; Koshino et al., 2005, 2008; Mason et al., 2008; Mostofsky et al., 2009; Solomon et a”
Responding to the emotions of others: dissociating forms of empathy through the study of typical and psychiatric populations. (2005, neutral): “…have reported reduced activation in the three brain regions critical to mentalizing in normal individuals (medial prefrontal cortex, temporal-parietal junction, and the temporal poles); (Castelli et al., 2002; Happé et al., 1996); Happé et al. (1996) only found reduced medial prefrontal activation.”
White matter structure in autism: preliminary evidence from diffusion tensor imaging. (2004, methodology): “All control subjects were in good physical health and were screened to exclude neurologic, developmental, or psychiatric disorders.”
The myth of the visual word form area (2003, background): “Activation is even observed when subjects view simple shapes (circles and triangles) that move in a " socially interactive " way (e.g., chasing each other) relative to random motion of the same shapes (Castelli et al., 2002, see Table 2).”
Theory of Mind and Preference Learning at the Interface of Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, and AI: A Review (2022, background): “Castelli et al. (2002) developed a novel task where the animations were not human, but rather participants were presented with animations of two moving triangles.”
Vision in autism spectrum disorders. (2009, background): “Castelli et al. (2002) report no differences in MT/V5 activation in their PET study, but this is not really adequate.”
A Sales Force–Specific Theory-of-Mind Scale: Tests of Its Validity by Classical Methods and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (2009, result): “More specifically, in line with the recent research of neuroscientists with autistic and normal people, we would expect that high (versus low) scorers on the SToM scale would display greater activation in the MPFC, TPJ, and TP regions (e.g., Amodio and Frith 2006; Castelli et al. 2002; Frith and Fri”
