Two-year-olds with autism orient to nonsocial contingencies rather than biological motion (2009, methodology): “We stored the locations of the point-lights at each frame in each of the animations as a matrix of size N 3 2 3 16, in which the rows (N) signified frames, the columns (2) signified (x, y) coordinate location data, and the Z dimension (16) signified each individual point-light on one side of the ani”
The enactive mind, or from actions to cognition: lessons from autism. (2003, background): “The presence of this ability at such a young age, as well as its presence in other species including monkeys (Oram & Perrett 1994) and birds (Regolin et al. 2000), and the demonstrated singularity of biological motion relative to other forms of motion from the perspective of the visual system (Neri ”
Perception of human motion. (2007, background): “Successful discrimination has also been demonstrated in cats (Blake 1993), pigeons (Dittrich et al. 1998, Omori & Watanabe 1996), and newly hatched chicks (Regolin et al. 2000).”
On the nature and origin of intuitive theories : learning, physics and psychology (2015, background): “There is an ongoing debate about how much experience matters in detecting animacy, but work with newborns [143] and control-reared chicks [113, 135] found that at least some ‘cuedetection’ is present at birth in vertebrates.”
