While behavioural difficulties in facial emotion recognition (FER) have been observed in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), behavioural studies alone are not suited to elucidate the specific nature of FER challenges in ASD. Eye tracking (ET) and electroencephalography (EEG) provide insights in to the attentional and neurological correlates of performance, and may therefore provide insight in to the mechanisms underpinning FER in ASD. Given that these processes develop over the course of the developmental trajectory, there is a need to synthesise findings in regard to the developmental stages to determine how the maturation of these systems may impact FER in ASD. We conducted a systematic review of fifty-four studies investigating ET or EEG meeting inclusion criteria. Findings indicate divergence of visual processing pathways in individuals with ASD. Altered function of the social brain in ASD impacts the processing of facial emotion across the developmental trajectory, resulting in observable differences in ET and EEG outcomes.
虽然自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)患者的面部情绪识别(FER)行为困难已经被观察到,但仅通过行为研究并不适合阐明 ASD 中 FER 挑战的具体性质。眼动(ET)和脑电图(EEG)可以深入了解表现的注意力和神经相关因素,因此可能有助于了解 ASD 中 FER 的机制。鉴于这些过程是在发展轨迹的过程中发展的,因此需要综合有关发展阶段的研究结果,以确定这些系统的成熟度如何影响 ASD 中的 FER。我们对符合纳入标准的 54 项研究进行了系统评价,这些研究调查了 ET 或 EEG。研究结果表明,ASD 患者的视觉处理途径存在差异。ASD 中社交大脑功能的改变会影响面部情绪的处理,从而导致在 ET 和 EEG 结果中观察到明显的差异。
