Attentional allocation of autism spectrum disorder individuals: Searching for a Face-in-the-Crowd / David J MOORE in Autism, 20-2 (February 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 20-2 (February 2016) . - p.163-171 Titre : Attentional allocation of autism spectrum disorder individuals: Searching for a Face-in-the-Crowd Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : David J MOORE, Auteur ; John REIDY, Auteur ; Lisa HEAVEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.163-171 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults  attention  autism  autism spectrum disorder  bias  faces  social cognition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A study is reported which tests the proposition that faces capture the attention of those with autism spectrum disorders less than a typical population. A visual search task based on the Face-in-the-Crowd paradigm was used to examine the attentional allocation of autism spectrum disorder adults for faces. Participants were required to search for discrepant target images from within 9-image arrays. Both participants with autism spectrum disorder and control participants demonstrated speeded identification of faces compared to non-face objects. This indicates that when attention is under conscious control, both autism spectrum disorder and typically developing comparison adults show an attentional bias for faces, which contrasts with previous research which found an absence of an attentional bias for faces in autism spectrum disorder. Theoretical implications of this differentiation are discussed.

Attentional Processing of Faces in ASD: A Dot-Probe Study / David J. MOORE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-10 (October 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 42-10 (October 2012) . - p.2038-2045 Titre : Attentional Processing of Faces in ASD: A Dot-Probe Study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : David J. MOORE, Auteur ; Lisa HEAVEY, Auteur ; John REIDY, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.2038-2045 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Attention  Social  Faces  Dot-Probe Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The present study used the Dot-Probe paradigm to explore attentional allocation to faces compared with non-social images in high-functioning individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing controls. There was no evidence of attentional bias in either group when stimuli were presented at individually calculated sub-threshold levels. However, at supra-threshold presentation (200 ms), a face bias was found for control participants but not for those with ASD. These results add to evidence of reduced social interest in ASD, relative to controls, and further demonstrate when atypical social processing arises in the attentional time course.
