Abstract

Few eye tracking studies have examined how people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) visually attend during live interpersonal interaction, and none with the Chinese population. This study used an eye tracker to record the gaze behavior in 20 Chinese children with ASD and 23 children with typical development (TD) when they were engaged in a structured conversation. Results demonstrated that children with ASD looked significantly less at the interlocutor's mouth and whole-face, and more at background. Additionally, gaze behavior was found to vary with the conversational topic. Given the great variability in eye tracking findings in existing literature, future explorations might consider investigating how fundamental factors (i.e., participant's characteristics, tasks, and context) influence the gaze behavior in people with ASD.

摘要

很少有眼动追踪研究考察过自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者在真实人际互动中的视觉注意力情况，而且没有针对中国人群的此类研究。本研究使用眼动仪记录了20名患有ASD的中国儿童和23名发育正常（TD）的儿童在进行结构化对话时的注视行为。结果表明，患有ASD的儿童看向对话者嘴巴和整个面部的次数明显更少，而看向背景的次数更多。此外，还发现注视行为会随对话主题而变化。鉴于现有文献中眼动追踪研究结果差异很大，未来的探索可能会考虑研究一些基本因素（即参与者的特征、任务和情境）如何影响ASD患者的注视行为。
