Affective–motivational brain responses to direct gaze in children with autism spectrum disorder / Anneli KYLLIAINEN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 53-7 (July 2012)

COUTANCHE, Auteur ; Jukka M. LEPPANEN, Auteur ; James CUSACK, Auteur ; Anthony J. BAILEY, Auteur ; Jari K. HIETANEN, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.790-797 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Direct gaze  eye contact  autism spectrum disorders  frontal EEG asymmetry  skin conductance Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background:  It is unclear why children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) tend to be inattentive to, or even avoid eye contact. The goal of this study was to investigate affective–motivational brain responses to direct gaze in children with ASD. To this end, we combined two measurements: skin conductance responses (SCR), a robust arousal measure, and asymmetry in frontal electroencephalography (EEG) activity which is associated with motivational approach and avoidance tendencies. We also explored whether degree of eye openness and face familiarity modulated these responses. Methods:  Skin conductance responses and frontal EEG activity were recorded from 14 children with ASD and 15 typically developing children whilst they looked at familiar and unfamiliar faces with eyes shut, normally open or wide-open. Stimuli were presented in such a way that they appeared to be looming towards the children. Results:  In typically developing children, there were no significant differences in SCRs between the different eye conditions, whereas in the ASD group the SCRs were attenuated to faces with closed eyes and increased as a function of the degree of eye openness. In both groups, familiar faces elicited marginally greater SCRs than unfamiliar faces. In typically developing children, normally open eyes elicited greater relative left-sided frontal EEG activity (associated with motivational approach) than shut eyes and wide-open eyes. In the ASD group, there were no significant differences between the gaze conditions in frontal EEG activity. Conclusions:  Collectively, the results replicate previous finding in showing atypical modulation of arousal in response to direct gaze in children with ASD but do not support the assumption that this response is associated with an avoidant motivational tendency. Instead, children with ASD may lack normative approach-related motivational response to eye contact.

Attitudes of the autism community to early autism research / Sue FLETCHER-WATSON in Autism, 21-1 (January 2017)

This work invokes specific ethical concerns such as use of ‘at-risk’ language, communicating study findings to parents and the future perspective of enrolled infants when they reach adulthood. This study aimed to ground this research field in an understanding of the perspectives of members of the autism community. Following focus groups to identify topics, an online survey was distributed to autistic adults, parents of children with autism and practitioners in health and education settings across 11 European countries. Survey respondents (n = 2317) were positively disposed towards early autism research, and there was significant overlap in their priorities for the field and preferred language to describe infant research participants. However, there were also differences including overall less favourable endorsement of early autism research by autistic adults relative to other groups and a dislike of the phrase ‘at-risk’ to describe infant participants, in all groups except healthcare practitioners. The findings overall indicate that the autism community in Europe is supportive of early autism research. Researchers should endeavour to maintain this by continuing to take community perspectives into account.

Atypical Pattern of Frontal EEG Asymmetry for Direct Gaze in Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Jenni LAUTTIA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-9 (September 2019)

We found that, in TD children, direct gaze elicited greater approach-related frontal EEG activity than did downcast gaze. This pattern of activity was in contrast to that observed in children with ASD, who showed greater approach-related activity in response to downcast gaze than to direct gaze. ID children did not differ in their responses to different gaze conditions. These findings indicate that another person's direct gaze does not elicit approach-motivation related brain activity in young children with ASD.

Atypical physiological orienting to direct gaze in low-functioning children with autism spectrum disorder / Terhi M. HELMINEN in Autism Research, 10-5 (May 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 10-5 (May 2017) . - p.810-820 Titre : Atypical physiological orienting to direct gaze in low-functioning children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Terhi M. HELMINEN, Auteur ; Jukka M. LEPPANEN, Auteur ; Kai ERIKSSON, Auteur ; Arto LUOMA, Auteur ; Jari K.

It has been proposed that direct gaze does not capture the attention of individuals with ASD. Experimental evidence is, however, mainly restricted to relatively high-functioning school-aged children or adults with ASD. This study investigated whether 2–5-year-old low-functioning children with severe ASD differ from control children in orienting to gaze stimuli, as measured with the heart rate deceleration response. Responses were measured to computerized presentations of dynamic shifts of gaze direction either toward (direct) or away (averted) from the observing child. The results showed a significant group by gaze direction interaction effect on heart rate responses (permuted P = .004), reflecting a stronger orienting response to direct versus averted gaze in typically developing (N = 17) and developmentally delayed (N = 16) children but not in children with ASD (N = 12). The lack of enhanced orienting response to direct gaze in the ASD group was not caused by a lack of looking at the eye region, as confirmed by eye tracking. The results suggest that direct gaze is not a socially salient, attention-grabbing signal for low-functioning children with ASD.

Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of motivating eye gaze in young children on autism spectrum through parent-mediated intervention / M. MUUVILA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 98 (October 2022)

Twenty (aged 3-6) autistic children were randomly assigned to an intervention or a control group. The intervention group parents were trained to perform three types of practices with their children for four months. The feasibility of recruitment, data collection and analysis procedures, acceptability and adherence were investigated. To study the usability and preliminary efficacy of two outcome measures, eye gaze and state of engagement with parents were observed during a 10-minute free-play session at baseline, after 4-6 months, and after two years. The results indicated support for the feasibility and efficacy, demonstrating a significant increase in eye gaze and engagement in the intervention group but not in the control group. It is an encouraging preliminary finding that the engagement increased after supporting the orientation towards the eye region, indicating beneficial effects for further social-communicative development in autistic children.
