In this presentation, Lisa Aziz explores the connection between sensory motor processes and social cognition. She discusses how typically developing individuals understand actions, emotions, and intentions through two primary neural networks: shared networks, which involve embodied cognition, and theory of mind networks, which involve cognitive understanding. Aziz highlights that 80% of children with autism have sensory motor issues. She compares children with autism to those with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) to distinguish sensory motor issues from social issues both behaviorally and neuronally.
