Abstract

This study aimed to explore the perception of different components of biological movement in individuals with autism and Asperger syndrome. The ability to recognize a person's actions, subjective states, emotions, and objects conveyed by moving point-light displays was assessed in 19 participants with autism and 19 comparable typical control participants. Results showed that the participants with autism were as able as controls to name point-light displays of non-human objects and human actions. In contrast, they were significantly poorer at labeling emotional displays, suggesting that they are specifically impaired in attending to emotional states. Most studies have highlighted an emotional deficit in facial expression perception; our results extend this hypothesized deficit to the perception and interpretation of whole-body biological movements.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • There was no formal attempt to match the speed or complexity of the local motion content of the stimuli in Hubert et al. (2007) and Moore et al. (1997).

    “there was no formal attempt to match the speed or complexity of the local motion content of the stimuli.”

  • The main effect of group reported by Hubert et al. (2007) is contaminated by a group-by-condition interaction.

    “the authors reported a main effect of group following on from their ANOVA, but this is contaminated by a group-by-condition interaction.”

    From Vision in autism spectrum disorders (2009) · cites this paper as Hubert et al. (2007)

  • The response assessment in Hubert et al. (2007) was subjective because participants were asked to describe the motion, which was then judged by the experimenter as being an appropriate or inappropriate description.

    “the subjectivity of the response assessment, given that participants were asked to describe the motion, which was then judged by the experimenter as being an appropri-ate or inappropriate description.”

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.
