The Relationship Between Subthreshold Autistic Traits, Ambiguous Figure Perception and Divergent Thinking / Catherine BEST in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-12 (December 2015)

That is, whether people with subclinical autistic traits have cognitive styles conducive to creativity or whether they are disadvantaged by the implied cognitive and behavioural rigidity of the autism phenotype. The relationship between divergent thinking (a cognitive component of creativity), perception of ambiguous figures, and self-reported autistic traits was evaluated in 312 individuals in a non-clinical sample. High levels of autistic traits were significantly associated with lower fluency scores on the divergent thinking tasks. However autistic traits were associated with high numbers of unusual responses on the divergent thinking tasks. Generation of novel ideas is a prerequisite for creative problem solving and may be an adaptive advantage associated with autistic traits.

Tracking eye movements proves informative for the study of gaze direction detection in autism / Deborah M. RIBY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 3-3 (July-September 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 3-3 (July-September 2009) . - p.723-733 Titre : Tracking eye movements proves informative for the study of gaze direction detection in autism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Deborah M. RIBY, Auteur ; Martin J. DOHERTY, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.723-733 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Eye-tracking Eye-direction-detection Autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Considerable research effort has been dedicated to exploring how well children with autistic spectrum disorders infer eye gaze direction from the face of an actor. Here we combine task performance (accuracy to correctly label a target item) and eye movement information (‘where’ the participant fixates when completing the task) to understand more about the components involved in completing eye direction detection tasks. Fifteen participants with autism were significantly less accurate at interpreting eye direction and detecting a target item (array sizes 4 and 6 items) than typically developing participants of comparable nonverbal ability. Eye movement data revealed subtly different fixation patterns for participants with and without autism that might contribute to differences in overall task performance. Although the amount of time spent fixating on the target item did not differ across groups, participants with autism took significantly longer to complete several components of the task and fixate upon the regions of the picture required for task completion (e.g. face or target). The data have implications for the design of tasks for individuals with autism and provide insights into the usefulness of including measures of visual attention in understanding task performance.
