Abstract

In the present study, we used a probe-detection task to compare attentional allocation to the eyes versus mouth regions of the face in high-functioning boys with autism relative to normal control boys matched for chronological age and IQs. We found that with upright faces, children from both groups attended more to the eyes region than to the mouth region, and to the same extent. This pattern of behavior was observed for not only initial orientation of attention, but also when enough time was provided for attention to be disengaged from its initial locus. The present findings suggest that atypical face processing in autism does not result from abnormal attentional allocation to the different face parts.

  • A potential factor in the null results of van der Geest et al. (2002) and Bar-Haim et al. (2006) is the lack of fearful and, in the latter case, any emotional expressions among the face stimuli.

    “A potential factor in the data of both van der Geest et al. (2002) and Bar-Haim et al. (2006) is the lack of fearful and, in the latter case, any emotional expressions among the face stimuli.”

  • Bar-Haim et al. (2006) found no differences between the relative attentional allocations made to the eyes and mouth by their group of 10-year-old boys with HFA and controls.

    “Bar-Haim, Shulman, Lamy, and Reuveni (2006), using a dot-probe paradigm, found no differences between the relative attentional allocations made to the eyes and mouth by their group of 10-year-old boys with HFA and controls.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
