| Résumé : |
This study employed eye-tracking technology to compare the gaze patterns of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing (TD) children while viewing facial videos. A total of 25 children with ASD and 26 TD children participated in the experiment. Their proportions of fixation duration on the eyes and mouth were analyzed across various social cues, including eye gaze direction, speech type, and mouth movement (moving vs. closed). The results indicated that gaze patterns for the eyes and mouth were similar between the two groups. In the averted eye gaze condition, both groups spent more time fixating on the eyes than in the direct gaze condition. In the mouth-closed condition, gaze fixations were predominantly directed toward the eyes, whereas in the mouth-moving condition, fixations were more frequently directed toward the mouth region. However, the difference in fixation duration proportions between the mouth-moving and mouth-closed conditions was smaller in children with ASD than in TD children, suggesting subtle differences in processing dynamic social information. Furthermore, neither socially-directed nor non-socially-directed speech significantly influenced gaze patterns in either group. This study highlights both the similarities and differences in facial gaze patterns between children with ASD and TD children, providing empirical evidence to enhance our understanding of social attention in autism. |
