Words that relate specifically to social feelings were identfied as potential research variables. Topical inquiries into...
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) are characterized by atypicalities in social interactions, compared to Typically Developing individuals (TD). The social motivation theory posits that these difficulties stem from diminished anticipation,

The formation of social groups is an adaptive behaviour that can provide protection from predators, improve foraging and facilitate social learning. However, the costs of proximity can include competition for resources, aggression and kleptoparasitism meaning that the decision whether to interact represents...
For most of human history, face-to-face interactions have been the primary and most fundamental way to build social relationships, and even in the digital era they remain the basis of our closest bonds. These interactions are built on the dynamic integra
to satisfy the diverse needs of individuals or small groups. The 3D DSM is independent of any physical solution principle and is based on 3 different behavioural elements among robots, namely ‘perception’, ‘cognition’ and ‘motoric action’. In this study, the data for these elements are ...
