A total of 32 studies comprising 238 simple reaction time and choice reaction time conditions were examined in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (n = 964) and controls (n = 1032). A Brinley plot/multiple regression analysis was performed on mean reaction times, regressing autism spectrum disorder performance onto the control performance as a way to examine any generalized simple reaction time/choice reaction time slowing exhibited by the autism spectrum disorder group. The resulting regression equation was Y (autism spectrum disorder) = 0.99 × (control) + 87.93, which accounted for 92.3% of the variance. These results suggest that there are little if any simple reaction time/choice reaction time slowing in this sample of individual with autism spectrum disorder, in comparison with controls. While many cognitive and information processing domains are compromised in autism spectrum disorder, it appears that simple reaction time/choice reaction time remain relatively unaffected in autism spectrum disorder.
共对32项研究进行了考察，这些研究包含238个简单反应时间和选择反应时间条件，研究对象为自闭症谱系障碍患者（n = 964）和对照组（n = 1032）。对平均反应时间进行了布林利图/多元回归分析，将自闭症谱系障碍患者的表现回归到对照组表现上，以此来检验自闭症谱系障碍组是否存在任何普遍的简单反应时间/选择反应时间减慢情况。得到的回归方程为Y（自闭症谱系障碍）= 0.99×（对照组）+ 87.93，该方程解释了92.3%的方差。这些结果表明，与对照组相比，在这个自闭症谱系障碍个体样本中，几乎不存在简单反应时间/选择反应时间减慢的情况。虽然自闭症谱系障碍患者在许多认知和信息处理领域存在缺陷，但简单反应时间/选择反应时间在自闭症谱系障碍中似乎相对未受影响。
