Here we focused on the basic movement of the eyes or mouth in guiding attention. The stimuli face blinked continuously or moved the mouth silently. In a large sample (145 autistic and 132 non-autistic participants) ranging from 3 to 17 years old, we assessed whether autistic participants showed reduced visual attention to basic movement of the eyes or mouth using a free-viewing eye-tracking task. We found that, like non-autistic participants, autistic participants increased their eye-looking time when viewing the blinking face and increased mouth-looking time when viewing the mouth-moving face. Furthermore, these effects were stable across ages, suggesting the presence of a developmentally stable attentional capture by basic face movements in both groups. We also found that autistic participants looked less at basic face movement than non-autistic participants. Our results suggest that autistic children and adolescents could modulate their visual attention to the basic face movements, but their modulation effect is weaker than non-autistic participants. These results further our understanding of the mechanism underlying visual attention-to-face movement in autistic people.

Decreased functional concordance in male children with autism spectrum disorder / Sha WANG ; Zaifa XUE ; Jing LIU ; Xiaoxia NIU ; Le GAO ; Xiaonan GUO in Autism Research, 16-12 (December 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 16-12 (December 2023) . - p.2263-2274 Titre : Decreased functional concordance in male children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sha WANG, Auteur ; Zaifa XUE, Auteur ; Jing LIU, Auteur ; Xiaoxia NIU, Auteur ; Le GAO, Auteur ; Xiaonan GUO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2263-2274 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an early-onset neurodevelopmental condition with altered function of the brain. At present, a variety of functional metrics from neuroimaging techniques have been used to explore ASD neurological mechanisms. However, the concordance of these functional metrics in ASD is still unclear. This study used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data, which were obtained from the open-access Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange database, including 105 children with ASD and 102 demographically matched typically developing (TD) children. Both voxel-wise and volume-wise functional concordance were calculated by combining the dynamic amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations, dynamic regional homogeneity, and dynamic global signal correlation. Furthermore, a two-sample t-test was performed to compare the functional concordance between ASD and TD groups. Finally, the relationship between voxel-wise functional concordance and Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule subscores was analyzed using the multivariate support vector regression in the ASD group. Compared with the TD group, we found that ASD showed decreased voxel-wise functional concordance in the left superior temporal pole (STGp), right amygdala, and left opercular part of the inferior frontal gyrus (IFGoper). Moreover, decreased functional concordance was associated with restricted and repetitive behaviors in ASD. Our results found altered brain function in the left STGp, right amygdala, and left IFGoper in ASD by functional concordance, indicating that functional concordance may provide new insights into the neurological mechanisms of ASD.

Orienting to and away from the eyes in infants at high likelihood for autism when scanning faces / Qiandong WANG ; Ying HAN ; Yixiao HU ; Xue LI ; Jing LIU ; Hui FANG ; Tianbi LI ; Yanmei CHANG ; Li YI in Autism Research, 18-1 (January 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 18-1 (January 2025) . - p.166-178 Titre : Orienting to and away from the eyes in infants at high likelihood for autism when scanning faces : Autism Research Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Qiandong WANG, Auteur ; Ying HAN, Auteur ; Yixiao HU, Auteur ; Xue LI, Auteur ; Jing LIU, Auteur ; Hui FANG, Auteur ; Tianbi LI, Auteur ; Yanmei CHANG, Auteur ; Li YI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.166-178 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  eye movement  face processing  infants  visual attention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract This study employed eye-tracking technology to investigate the mechanisms underlying reduced gaze towards the eyes in infants at high likelihood (HL) for autism, specifically examining whether it results from avoidance triggered by heightened arousal when looking at the eyes or due to indifference to the eyes (i.e., unwilling to orient to the eyes). Infants at HL for autism and typically developing (TD) infants aged within 24 months were tested. In the experiment, participants' gaze was initially guided to the eye or mouth region immediately before the onset of the face. Latency to orient away from the guided regions, latency to orient to the eyes, and the location of the secondary fixation following the onset of the face were measured. The results showed that: (1) The HL infants looked less at eyes than TD infants; (2) Compared with TD infants, HL infants oriented towards eyes more slowly after being guided to the mouth; (3) After being guided to the eyes, HL infants' secondary fixation fell less in the eye region, and their latency to orient away from the eyes was also tended to be shorter. These results suggest that reduced eye-looking time was presented in HL infants, which was further explained by both eye avoidance and indifference to the eyes. Our study contributes theoretically to understanding the atypical face scanning pattern in autistic people and its related underlying mechanisms. Furthermore, our study provides important insights into the development of early screening tools and intervention protocols for autistic people.

Prevalence of mental disorders in school children and adolescents in China: diagnostic data from detailed clinical assessments of 17,524 individuals / Fenghua LI in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 63-1 (January 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 63-1 (January 2022) . - p.34-46 Titre : Prevalence of mental disorders in school children and adolescents in China: diagnostic data from detailed clinical assessments of 17,524 individuals Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Fenghua LI, Auteur ; Yonghua CUI, Auteur ; Ying LI, Auteur ; Lanting GUO, Auteur ; Xiaoyan KE, Auteur ; Jing LIU, Auteur ; Xuerong LUO, Auteur ; Yi ZHENG, Auteur ; James F. LECKMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : p.34-46 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Attention Deficit and Disruptive Behavior Disorders  Child  China/epidemiology  Comorbidity  Depressive Disorder, Major  Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders  Female  Humans  Male  Mental Disorders/diagnosis/epidemiology  Prevalence  China  adolescents  children  mental disorder  prevalence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: To date, no national-scale psychiatric epidemiological survey for children and adolescents has been conducted in China. In order to inform government officials and policymakers and to develop a comprehensive plan for service providers, there was a clear need to conduct an up-to-date systematic nationwide psychiatric epidemiological survey. METHODS: We conducted a two-stage large-scale psychiatric point prevalence survey. Multistage cluster stratified random sampling was used as the sampling strategy. Five provinces were selected by comprehensively considering geographical partition, economic development, and rural/urban factors. In Stage 1, the Child Behavior Checklist was used as the screening tool. In Stage 2, Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents and a diagnostic process based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual were used to make the diagnoses. Sampling weights and poststratification weights were employed to match the population distributions. Exploratory analyses were also performed using socio-demographic factors. Prevalence in socio-demographic factor subgroups and overall were estimated. Rao-Scott adjusted chi-square tests were utilized to determine if between-group differences were present. Factor interactions were checked by logistic regression analyses. RESULTS: A total of 73,992 participants aged 6-16 years of age were selected in Stage 1. In Stage 2, 17,524 individuals were screened and diagnosed. The weighted prevalence of any disorder was 17.5% (95% CI: 17.2-18.0). Statistically significant differences in prevalence of any psychiatric disorder were observed between sexes [χ(2) (1, N = 71,929) = 223.0, p < .001], age groups [χ(2) (1, N = 71,929) = 18.6, p < .001] and developed vs. developing areas [χ(2) (1, N = 71,929) = 2,129.6, p < .001], while no difference was found between rural and urban areas [χ(2) (1, N = 71,929) = 1.4, p = .239]. Male, younger individuals, children, and adolescents from developed areas had higher prevalence of any psychiatric disorder. The prevalence of any psychiatric disorder was found to decrease with the age in the male group, while the female group increased with the age. Individuals diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, a tic disorder, conduct disorder, and major depression disorder had the highest rates of comorbidity. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of any psychiatric disorder we found is the highest ever reported in China. These results urgently need to be addressed by public mental health service providers and policymakers in order to provide access to the necessary treatments and to reduce the long-term negative impact of these conditions on families and the society as a whole.

Social and non-social deficits in children with high-functioning autism and their cooperative behaviors / Jing LI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-12 (December 2014)

This study investigated the relationship between social and non-social deficits in children with HFA and the cooperative behaviors of such children. Theory of mind (ToM), executive function, and central coherence of children with HFA and typically developing (TD) children, aged 6–12 years, were investigated, and the effects of these social and non-social deficits on children's cooperativeness were examined. The classical prisoner's dilemma game (PDG) and cooperative implemental tasks were used to assess children's cooperativeness. ToM was measured using a series of classical false belief tasks and the face test. The Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCST) and the Embedded Figures Test (EFT) were administered to assess executive function and central coherence, respectively. The results showed that there was no significant difference in cooperation in PDG between HFA and TD children, while cooperation in children with HFA in the interruption period of the implemental tasks was significantly lower than that of TD children. Children with HFA had social deficits and had more poorly developed ToM than TD children, and executive function in children with HFA was poorer than that in TD children. Different types of deficits were predictive of HFA children's degree of cooperation on different tasks: the social perceptual component of ToM and executive function predicted children's cooperativeness in the PDG, and executive function predicted HFA children's cooperativeness during the interruption period of an implemental task. By contrast, central coherence did not predict either of the two types of cooperation. It might indicate that the two different types of cooperative tasks may require different mental abilities.
