This systematic review examines the proficiency and visual search strategies of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) while disembedding figures and whether they differ from typical controls and other comparative samples.
Five databases, including Proquest, Psychinfo, Medline, CINAHL and Science Direct were used to identify published studies meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Twenty articles were included in the review, the majority of which matched participants by mental age. Outcomes discussed were time taken to identify targets, the number correctly identified, and fixation frequency and duration.
Individuals with ASD perform at the same speed or faster than controls and other clinical samples. However, there appear to be no differences between individuals with ASD and controls for number of correctly identified targets. Only one study examined visual search strategies and suggests that individuals with ASD exhibit shorter first and final fixations to targets compared with controls.
本系统评价考察了自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）个体在分离图形时的能力水平和视觉搜索策略，以及这些是否与典型对照组和其他比较样本存在差异。
使用五个数据库，包括Proquest、Psychinfo、Medline、CINAHL和科学Direct，来识别符合纳入和排除标准的已发表研究。
该评价纳入了20篇文章，其中大多数按心理年龄匹配参与者。讨论的结果包括识别目标所需的时间、正确识别的数量以及注视频率和持续时间。
ASD个体的表现速度与对照组和其他临床样本相同或更快。然而，ASD个体与对照组在正确识别目标的数量上似乎没有差异。只有一项研究考察了视觉搜索策略，表明与对照组相比，ASD个体对目标的首次和最终注视时间更短。
