While altered gaze behaviour during facial emotion recognition has been observed in autistic individuals, there remains marked inconsistency in findings, with the majority of previous research focused towards the processing of basic emotional expressions. There is a need to examine whether atypical gaze during facial emotion recognition extends to more complex emotional expressions, which are experienced as part of everyday social functioning. The eye gaze of 20 autistic and 20 IQ-matched neurotypical adults was examined during a facial emotion recognition task of complex, dynamic emotion displays. Autistic adults fixated longer on the mouth region when viewing complex emotions compared to neurotypical adults, indicating that altered prioritization of visual information may contribute to facial emotion recognition impairment. Results confirm the need for more ecologically valid stimuli for the elucidation of the mechanisms underlying facial emotion recognition difficulty in autistic individuals.
虽然在自闭症个体中观察到了面部情绪识别过程中的注视行为改变，但研究结果存在显著的不一致性，大多数先前的研究都集中在基本情绪表达的处理上。需要研究面部情绪识别过程中的异常注视是否扩展到更复杂的情绪表达，这些表达是日常社交功能的一部分。在一项复杂的动态情绪表现的面部情绪识别任务中，观察了 20 名自闭症和 20 名 IQ 匹配的神经典型成年人的眼动。与神经典型成年人相比，自闭症成年人在观看复杂情绪时会更长时间地注视嘴巴区域，这表明视觉信息的优先级改变可能导致面部情绪识别障碍。研究结果证实，需要更具生态有效性的刺激来阐明自闭症个体面部情绪识别困难的机制。
