Abstract：
Perceiving biological motion (BM) is crucial for human survival and social interaction. Many studies have reported impaired BM perception in autism spectrum disorder, which is characterised by deficits in social interaction. Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often exhibit similar difficulties in social interaction. However, few studies have investigated BM perception in children with ADHD. Here, we compared differences in the ability to process local kinematic and global configurational cues, two fundamental abilities of BM perception, between typically developing and ADHD children. We further investigated the relationship between BM perception and social interaction skills measured using the Social Responsiveness Scale and examined the contributions of latent factors (e.g. sex, age, attention, and intelligence) to BM perception. The results revealed that children with ADHD exhibited atypical BM perception. Local and global BM processing showed distinct features. Local BM processing ability was related to social interaction skills, whereas global BM processing ability significantly improved with age. Critically, general BM perception (i.e. both local and global BM processing) may be affected by sustained attentional ability in children with ADHD. This relationship was primarily mediated by reasoning intelligence. These findings elucidate atypical BM perception in ADHD and the latent factors related to BM perception. Moreover, this study provides new evidence that BM perception is a hallmark of social cognition and advances our understanding of the potential roles of local and global processing in BM perception and social cognitive disorders.
摘要：
感知生物运动（BM）对于人类生存和社会交往至关重要。许多研究报道了自闭症谱系障碍的BM感知受损，其特点是社会互动不足。患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的儿童通常在社交互动中表现出类似的困难。然而,很少有研究调查患有ADHD的儿童的BM感知。这里,我们比较了处理局部运动学和全局构型线索的能力差异，BM感知的两个基本能力，在典型的发展和多动症儿童之间。我们进一步调查了使用社会反应量表测量的BM感知和社交互动技能之间的关系，并检查了潜在因素的贡献(例如性别，年龄,注意,和智力)到BM感知。结果显示，患有ADHD的儿童表现出非典型的BM感知。局部和全局BM处理显示出明显的特征。本地BM处理能力与社交互动技能有关，而全球BM加工能力随着年龄的增长而显著提高。严重的,ADHD儿童的一般BM感知(即局部和全局BM处理)可能受到持续注意能力的影响。这种关系主要是由推理智力介导的。这些发现阐明了ADHD中非典型的BM感知以及与BM感知相关的潜在因素。此外，这项研究提供了新的证据,表明BM感知是社会认知的标志,并促进了我们对局部和全局处理在BM感知和社会认知障碍中的潜在作用的理解.
