Autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) is diagnosed on the basis of impairment in reciprocal social interaction and language, and rigidity of behavior. This brief paper describes the development of an experimental intervention for preschool children newly diagnosed with ASD. The rationale for this intervention is the hypothesis that failure to attend to social cues in very early life, of itself, may bear a large share of responsibility for core social and communicative deficits. The intervention, therefore, uses eye-tracking to monitor and trigger rewards for attention to facial expression and direction of gaze.
自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）是根据社交互动和语言的相互损害以及行为的刻板性来诊断的。这篇简短的论文描述了一种针对新诊断出患有ASD的学龄前儿童的实验性干预措施的开发。这种干预措施的理论依据是这样一种假设，即在生命早期未能注意到社交线索本身可能对核心社交和沟通缺陷负有很大责任。因此，该干预措施使用眼动追踪来监测并触发对关注面部表情和注视方向的奖励。
