In this article, it studies the abnormal amygdala function. The article explores eight high- functioning subject with four different experiments: (1) Discriminating the intensity of facial emotion, (2) Recognition of Basic Emotions from Facial Expressions, (3) Social Judgment of the Faces and, (4) Social Judgement from Lexical Stimuli. The first experiment focuses on the male without any visuoperceptual impairments in processing faces.

The patterns of antisocial behavior tend to change during preteen and teen ages. Children that engage in antisocial behaviors tend to declines between the ages of 6 to 16. Whereas in that period the number of youth who engage in covert antisocial acts increases.
