Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developed (TD) adult participants viewed pairs of scenes for a simple "spot the difference" (STD) and a complex "which one's weird" (WOW) task. There were no group differences in the STD task. In the WOW task, the ASD group took longer to respond manually and to begin fixating the target "weird" region. Additionally, as indexed by the first-fixation duration into the target region, the ASD group failed to "pick up" immediately on what was "weird". The findings are discussed with reference to the complex information processing theory of ASD (Minshew & Goldstein, 1998 ).
自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)患者和发育正常(TD)的成年参与者观看了成对的场景,以完成简单的“找出不同”(STD)任务和复杂的“哪个怪异”(WOW)任务。在STD任务中,两组没有差异。在WOW任务中,ASD组手动做出反应以及开始注视目标“怪异”区域的时间更长。此外,以首次注视目标区域的持续时间为指标,ASD组未能立即“捕捉”到“怪异”之处。将结合ASD的复杂信息加工理论(明舒 & 戈尔茨坦,1998年)对这些发现进行讨论。
