We investigated the influence of control over a social stimulus on the ability to detect direct gaze in high-functioning autism (HFA). In a pilot study, 19 participants with and 19 without HFA were compared on a gaze detection and a gaze setting task. Participants with HFA were less accurate in detecting direct gaze in the detection task, but did not differ in their ability to establish direct gaze in the setting task. In the main experiment, the results of the pilot study were replicated with 37 participants with and 39 without HFA, suggesting that individuals with HFA have a specific deficit in the passive perception of social cues as opposed to the active control, which seems to be intact.
我们研究了对社会刺激的控制对高功能自闭症（HFA）患者直接注视检测能力的影响。在一项初步研究中，我们比较了 19 名 HFA 患者和 19 名非 HFA 患者在注视检测和注视设定任务中的表现。在检测任务中，HFA 患者的直接注视检测准确性较低，但在设定任务中，他们确定直接注视的能力没有差异。在主要实验中，我们用 37 名 HFA 患者和 39 名非 HFA 患者重复了初步研究的结果，表明 HFA 患者在被动感知社会线索方面存在特定缺陷，而不是在主动控制方面存在缺陷，主动控制似乎完好无损。
