Children with Autism Fail to Orient to Naturally Occurring Social Stimuli
Abstract
Children with autism were compared to developmentally matched children with Down syndrome or typical development in terms of their ability to visually orient to two social stimuli (name called, hands clapping) and two nonsocial stimuli (rattle, musical jack-in-the-box), and in terms of their ability to share attention (following another's gaze or point). It was found that, compared to children with Down syndrome or typical development, children with autism more frequently failed to orient to all stimuli, and that this failure was much more extreme for social stimuli. Children with autism who oriented to social stimuli took longer to do so compared to the other two groups of children. Children with autism also exhibited impairments in shared attention. Moreover, for both children with autism and Down syndrome, correlational analyses revealed a relation between shared attention performance and the ability to orient to social stimuli, but no relation between shared attention performance and the ability to orient to nonsocial stimuli. Results suggest that social orienting impairments may contribute to difficulties in shared attention found in autism.

In the citing paper
“Social attention models of ASD propose that deficits in social attention and orienting begin to emerge in the second half of the first year of life, leading to reduced engagement with social stimuli, and thus reduced opportunities for social learning [13–16].”
In the citing paper
“These early deficits may thus have cascading effects on social communication development.”

“Social attention models of ASD propose that deficits in social attention and orienting begin to emerge in the second half of the first year of life, leading to reduced engagement with social stimuli, and thus reduced opportunities for social learning [13–16].”
In the citing paper
“Developmental decreases in allocation of attention to social stimuli in ASD could be a consequence of earlier-emerging difficulties with processing social information [6, 14, 22].”
In the citing paper
“Under such models, initial subcortically mediated social orienting mechanisms are intact in ASD [23], but difficulties with processing incoming social information make social experiences progressively less rewarding, leading to decreases in social attention over developmental time.”

From Oxytocin enhances gaze-following responses to videos of natural social behavior in adult male rhesus monkeys (2016) · cites this paper as Dawson et al., 1998
In the citing paper
“individuals with ASD (though showing reduced orienting abilities to all stimulus types) show an exaggerated difficulty in orienting to socially relevant auditory stimuli including, but not limited to, speech (Dawson et al., 1998; Dawson et al., 2004; Kuhl et al., 2005; Paul et al., 2007)”
From Behavioral, Perceptual, and Neural Alterations in Sensory and Multisensory Function in Autism Spectrum Disorder (2015) · cites this paper as Dawson et al., 1998

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.
