He mentions people looking at his face to aid in predicting what the ball's trajectory will be.
I wonder what eye tracking data from those with high-functioning autism (or whatever they call what we used to call Aspergers) would reveal, since "face blindness" and the inability to interpret facial expressions are typical hallmarks in those individuals?
That is, do such individuals experience a degradation in coordination in such tasks, and/or related tasks, due to such inabilities?
Or do they make up for it in other ways?
- syn0byte 8y agoThe example of Agnosia cited in the article indicates that there wouldn't be any degradation. Proprioception and physical interaction seem to have their own dedicated pathway. If not being able to tell vertical from horizontal didn't affect the patient's ability to interact with the world, why would not being able to tell if a face is "happy" or "sad" have an impact?
