Heritable aspects of biological motion perception and its covariation with autistic traits.
TL;DR: The findings demonstrate that the ability to process BM, especially with regard to its inherent kinetics, is heritable and advance the understanding of the sources of the linkage between autistic symptoms and BM perception deficits, opening up the possibility of treating the ability of local BM information as a distinct hallmark of social cognition.

Searching for Life Motion Signals Visual Search Asymmetry in Local but Not Global Biological-Motion Processing
TL;DR: Testing visual search with biological-motion stimuli that were spatially scrambled or that represented feet only found that observers were more efficient in searching for an upright target among inverted distractors than in searched for an inverted target among upright distractors, suggesting that local biological- motion signals can act as a basic preattentive feature for the human visual system.
Heritability of reflexive social attention triggered by eye gaze and walking direction: common and unique genetic underpinnings
TL;DR: The findings of this study suggest that human social attention ability is supported by unique genetic mechanisms that can be shared across different social, but not non-social, processing and encourage the identification of ‘social attention genes’.

Developmental tuning of reflexive attentional effect to biological motion cues.
TL;DR: It is found that children as early as 4 years old, like adults, showed a robust reflexive attentional orienting effect to the walking direction of an upright point-light walker, indicating that biological motion signals can automatically direct spatial attention at an early age.
Conscious Access to Suppressed Threatening Information Is Modulated by Working Memory
TL;DR: The delayed-match-to-sample paradigm in conjunction with continuous flash suppression found that suppressed threatening faces emerged from suppression faster when they matched the emotional valence of WM contents than when they did not.
