Starting moving from the meeting ground of Neuroscience, Psychology and Pedagogy, my paper is aimed at interpreting autism under a new perspective provided by a change of paradigm in the cognitive sciences. Such paradigm favours a point of view of the embodiment type, which ascribes a great value to body and to sensory-motor system. Furthermore it analyses thoroughly mind in its multifaceted dimensions: embodied, embedded, extended, enacted. Such paradigm acquires a very peculiar meaning when applied to autism and to the austistic individual, embodied in a body and deep rooted in the environment, who not only takes a different view of the world, but perceives, assimilates, introjectes and develops it through sensory-perceptive peculiarities. Such peculiarities active the underlying cognitive and neural process and influence the general development.
Muovendo da un terreno di ricerca situato al crocevia tra differenti settori disciplinari quali Neuroscienze, Psicologia e Pedagogia, la tesi offre un contributo allo studio della sindrome dello spettro autistico, interpretata e riletta alla luce dell emergente paradigma delle scienze cognitive di tipo embodiment, che attribuisce un ruolo di primo piano al corpo e al sistema senso-percettivo e che indaga la mente nelle sue multiformi dimensioni: embodied, embedded, extended, enacted. Questo modello assume significato del tutto singolare se declinato in riferimento al disturbo dello spettro autistico e nello specifico alla persona autistica, incarnata in un corpo, radicata in un ambiente, che non solo guarda il mondo con occhi diversi ma lo percepisce, lo assimila, lo introietta e lo elabora attraverso peculiarità senso-percettive le quali, a loro volta, attivando i sottostanti processi neurali e cognitivi ne condizionano lo sviluppo.

Abstract
Starting moving from the meeting ground of Neuroscience, Psychology and Pedagogy, my paper is aimed at interpreting autism under a new perspective provided by a change of paradigm in the cognitive sciences. Such paradigm favours a point of view of the embodiment type, which ascribes a great value to body and to sensory-motor system. Furthermore it analyses thoroughly mind in its multifaceted dimensions: embodied, embedded, extended, enacted. Such paradigm acquires a very peculiar meaning when applied to autism and to the austistic individual, embodied in a body and deep rooted in the environment, who not only takes a different view of the world, but perceives, assimilates, introjectes and develops it through sensory-perceptive peculiarities. Such peculiarities active the underlying cognitive and neural process and influence the general development.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
