Numerous studies have identified individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with deficits in unichannel emotion perception and multisensory integration. However, only limited research is available on multichannel emotion perception in ASD. The purpose of this review was to seek conceptual clarification, identify knowledge gaps, and suggest directions for future research.
We conducted a scoping review of the literature published between 1989 and 2021, following the 2005 framework of Arksey and O'Malley. Data relating to study characteristics, task characteristics, participant information, and key findings on multichannel processing of emotion in ASD were extracted for the review.
Discrepancies were identified regarding multichannel emotion perception deficits, which are related to participant age, developmental level, and task demand. Findings are largely consistent regarding the facilitation and compensation of congruent multichannel emotional cues and the interference and disruption of incongruent signals. Unlike controls, ASD individuals demonstrate an overreliance on semantics rather than prosody to decode multichannel emotion.
The existing literature on multichannel emotion perception in ASD is limited, dispersed, and disassociated, focusing on a variety of topics with a wide range of methodologies. Further research is necessary to quantitatively examine the impact of methodological choice on performance outcomes. An integrated framework of emotion, language, and cognition is needed to examine the mutual influences between emotion and language as well as the cross-linguistic and cross-cultural differences.
许多研究已经发现，患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的个体在单通道情感感知和多感官整合方面存在缺陷。然而，关于 ASD 中的多通道情感感知的研究有限。本综述的目的是寻求概念上的澄清，确定知识空白，并为未来的研究提出方向。
我们对 1989 年至 2021 年间发表的文献进行了范围综述，遵循 Arksey 和 O'Malley 的 2005 年框架。提取了与多通道处理 ASD 中情感的研究特征、任务特征、参与者信息和关键发现相关的数据。
在多通道情感感知缺陷方面存在差异，这些差异与参与者的年龄、发育水平和任务需求有关。关于一致的多通道情感线索的促进和补偿，以及不一致的信号的干扰和破坏，研究结果基本一致。与对照组不同，ASD 个体表现出过度依赖语义而不是韵律来解码多通道情感。
目前关于 ASD 多通道情感感知的文献有限、分散且不相关，主要集中在各种主题上，采用了多种方法。需要进一步的研究来定量研究方法选择对绩效结果的影响。需要一个情感、语言和认知的综合框架来研究情感和语言之间的相互影响以及跨语言和跨文化的差异。
