Terhi Korkiakangas

Communication, Gaze and Autism (eBook, ePUB)

A Multimodal Interaction Perspective

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this innovative book on autism and gaze from a multimodal interaction perspective, Terhi Korkiakangas examines the role of gaze in everyday situations, asking why 'eye contact' matters, and considering the implications of this crucial question for autism. Since persons on the autism spectrum tend to use it differently and might not engage in eye contact in social situations, gaze is a crucial topic for understanding autism, yet we know surprisingly little about this topic in a real-world context.
