Visual Recognition of Biological Motion is Impaired in Children With Autism
Abstract
Autistic children and typically developing control children were tested on two visual tasks, one involving grouping of small line elements into a global figure and the other involving perception of human activity portrayed in point-light animations. Performance of the two groups was equivalent on the figure task, but autistic children were significantly impaired on the biological motion task. This latter deficit may be related to the impaired social skills characteristic of autism, and we speculate that this deficit may implicate abnormalities in brain areas mediating perception of human movement.

“Neuroimaging studies that have examined the neuronal correlates of ToM tasks frequently reveal active regions of the upper bank of the superior temporal sulcus (STS, associated with biological motion perception; Blake et al., 2003), as well as inferior frontal regions (including the putative ‘mirror neuron’ system), and the anterior cingulate cortex/medial prefrontal cortex (Frith and Frith, 1999;”

In the citing paper
“Studies using point-light displays, which allow motion perception without the confound of form, reveal that children with ASD fail to preferentially attend to biological over non-social motion (Klin et al., 2009, Blake et al., 2003, Annaz et al., 2012).”

“Note that some 25% (4/16) of Blake et al.'s (2003) original ASD sample could not complete the biological motion task and 3 of these could not complete the form task either.These were all children with lower scores on a test of expressive language.”

In the citing paper
“Blake et al. (2003) calculated a d 0 score for the biological motion task and found that their typically developing group performed significantly better in this task than their ASD group with mean d 0 of close to 2.5 and close to 1, respectively.This is despite the two groups showing equivalent performance on a control ''pathfinder”

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.
