Face recognition and lip-reading in autism
Open accessAbstract
Autistic children individually matched for mental age with normal subjects were tested on memory for unfamiliar faces and on lip reading ability. The results show that autistic children are poorer than controls in memory for faces but comparable to controls in lip-reading. Autistic children show little influence on their auditory speech perception from visual speech. The results are discussed in relation to Bruce and Young's (1986) model of face recognition. The independence between facial speech and memory for faces is in accordance with this model but is only observed in autistic subjects.

Most studies conclude that individuals with ASD are less likely to report perceptual fusion in the McGurk effect, with their choices typically reflecting the auditory stimulus.
“Most studies have concluded that individuals with ASD are less likely to report this perceptual fusion, with their choices typically reflecting the auditory stimulus (i.e., “ba” (de Gelder et al., 1991; Irwin et al., 2011; Mongillo et al., 2008; Stevenson et al., 2014c; Stevenson et al., 2014d; Williams et al., 2004)”

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.
