The effect of expertise training with faces was studied in adults with ASD who showed initial impairment in face recognition. Participants were randomly assigned to a computerized training program involving either faces or houses. Pre- and post-testing included standardized and experimental measures of behavior and event-related brain potentials (ERPs), as well as interviews after training. After training, all participants met behavioral criteria for expertise with the specific stimuli on which they received training. Scores on standardized measures improved after training for both groups, but only the face training group showed an increased face inversion effect behaviorally and electrophysiological changes to faces in the P100 component. These findings suggest that individuals with ASD can gain expertise in face processing through training.
研究了在最初表现出面部识别障碍的 ASD 成人中进行面部专业技能训练的效果。参与者被随机分配到一个涉及面部或房屋的计算机化训练计划中。在测试之前和之后，包括行为和事件相关脑电位（ERPs）的标准化和实验测量，以及训练后的访谈。在训练后，所有参与者都达到了他们接受训练的特定刺激的专业技能的行为标准。两组在训练后的标准化测量分数都有所提高，但只有面部训练组在行为上表现出面孔倒置效应增强，并且在 P100 成分中对面部的电生理变化。这些发现表明，ASD 个体可以通过训练获得面部处理的专业知识。
