Autistic Children's Ability to Interpret Faces: A Research Note
Abstract
Abstract Ten autistic children were compared with 10 non‐autistic children matched for chronological age and performance IQ on two tests of finding the odd face out of a set of photographs of faces, two tests of labelling photographs of fates, and a test of labelling photographs of common objects. The autistic children were significantly worse than the non‐autistic children at finding the odd person out and the odd facial expression of emotion out, and at labelling facial expressions of emotion. They did no worse than the non‐autistic children at labelling upside down faces or at labelling objects. The results, which replicate the findings of Hobson ( J. Child Psychol. Psychiat. 27 , 321–342, 671–680, 1986; Communication , 20, 12–17, 1986) are consistent with other evidence for a specific perceptual abnormality in at least some children with autism, the nature of which is discussed.

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.
