Talent in autism: hyper-systemizing, hyper-attention to detail and sensory hypersensitivity.
We argue that hyper-systemizing predisposes individuals to show talent, and review evidence that hyper-systemizing is part of the cognitive style of people with autism spectrum conditions (ASC). We then clarify the hyper-systemizing theory, contrasting it to the weak central coherence (WCC) and executive dysfunction (ED) theories. The ED theory has difficulty explaining the existence of talent ...
متن کاملThe hyper-systemizing, assortative mating theory of autism.
The hyper-systemizing theory of autism proposes that the systemizing mechanism is set too high in people with autism. As a result, they can only cope with highly lawful systems, and cannot cope with systems of high variance or change (such as the social world of other minds). They appear 'change-resistant'. This proposal extends the extreme male brain theory of autism. Finally, evidence is revi...
متن کاملAutism and talent: the cognitive and neural basis of systemizing
In 2003, we proposed the hypersystemizing theory of autism. The theory proposes that the human mind possesses a systemizing mechanism (SM) that helps identify lawful regularities (often causal) that govern the input-operation-output workings of a system. The SM can be tuned to different levels, from low to high, with a normal distribution of individual differences in how strongly people search ...

متن کاملHyper-Reality: Amplifying Everyday Sensory Experience
Ubiquitous computing is making it possible to increase the sensory feedback from everyday spaces to attract attention to often-neglected tasks, make them safer and easier and potentially motivate new behavior. HyperReality describes distributed computing interfaces that weave existing environments with immersive sound and images to expand sensory feedback from everyday activities. This paper di...
