Eye-tracking represents a sensitive, direct measure of gaze allocation and goal-directed looking behaviors that correspond to visual information processing. Clear definitions and standardization of research protocols to document the utility and feasibility of these methods are warranted. This systematic review provides an account of stimuli dimensions and experimental paradigms used in eye-tracking research for young children at risk for ASD published from 2005 through 2019. This review identifies variability in eye-tracking protocols and heterogeneity of stimuli used for eye-tracking as factors that undermine the value of eye-tracking as an objective, reliable screening tool. We underscore the importance of sharing eye-tracking stimuli to enhance replicability of findings and more importantly the need to develop a bank of publicly available, validated stimuli.
眼动追踪代表了一种敏感、直接的注视分配和目标导向的注视行为测量方法，与视觉信息处理相对应。有必要明确界定和标准化研究方案，以记录这些方法的实用性和可行性。本系统评价阐述了 2005 年至 2019 年发表的用于自闭症谱系障碍高风险幼儿的眼动追踪研究中使用的刺激维度和实验范式。本综述确定了眼动追踪协议的可变性以及用于眼动追踪的刺激的异质性，这些因素降低了眼动追踪作为一种客观、可靠的筛查工具的价值。我们强调共享眼动追踪刺激的重要性，以增强研究结果的可重复性，更重要的是需要开发一个公共可用的、经过验证的刺激库。
