Social Motivation Theories of Autism: Is Insensitivity to Social Reward Really the Problem?

Iser DeLeon

In this presentation from the 2018 Michigan Autism Conference, the speaker examines the Social Motivation Theory of Autism, which suggests that social deficits in individuals with autism may stem from a neurobiological insensitivity to social rewards. The talk reviews evidence both supporting and contradicting this theory, drawing from various studies exploring socially-mediated reinforcers, comparisons between social and nonsocial reinforcers, and evaluations of social reward.

FAQ

Your access to a module does not expire or have a time limit. Generally, modules will remain available for as long as you keep your CEUniverse account. For example, you could purchase a CEU module today, but not complete it until 5 years later. The completion date on your certificate of completion will be based on when you actually complete the module (and not your purchase date). On rare occasions we may need to remove a module if it becomes outdated or if there are licensing issues. In such cases, we will notify you of the change in advance.

You will be able to download a certificate of completion immediately upon completion of a module. You can also download a CEU transcript from the myLearning dashboard that documents all of the CEU modules you have completed on CEUniverse.

Any learning modules you purchase can be accessed from the myLearning dashboard.
