Attention to social stimuli is associated with language development, and arousal is associated with the increased viewing of stimuli. We investigated whether skin conductance responses (SCRs) are associated with language development in autism spectrum disorder (ASD): a population that shows abnormalities in both attention to others and language development. A sample of 32 children with ASD (7-15 year; M = 9 year) was divided into two groups, based on language onset histories. A typically developing comparison group consisted of 18 age and IQ matched children. SCRs were taken as the participants viewed faces. SCRs differentiated the ASD group based on language onset and were associated with abnormal attention to gaze in infancy and subsequent language development.
对社会刺激的关注与语言发展有关，而兴奋与对刺激的增加观察有关。我们研究了皮肤电反应 (SCR) 是否与自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 中的语言发展有关：该人群在关注他人和语言发展方面都存在异常。我们对 32 名患有 ASD 的儿童（7-15 岁；M=9 岁）进行了分组，根据语言出现的历史进行分组。一个具有典型发展的对照组包括 18 名年龄和智商匹配的儿童。参与者观看面部时会产生 SCR。SCR 根据语言出现情况区分 ASD 组，与婴儿期异常注视注意力和随后的语言发展有关。
