GREENE, Auteur ; Esther SUESS, Auteur ; Yazeed KELLY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2673-2684 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic traits  Broad autism phenotype  Emotional faces  Eye-tracking  Fixation count  Gaze duration Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : It has been suggested that atypical emotional face processing strategies observed in autism may extend in milder form to the general population. We investigated the relationship between autistic traits (AT) and gaze behaviour in a neurotypical adult sample. Novel naturalistic videos featuring happy, fearful and neutral faces were first validated in a sample of 22 participants. A separate sample of participants (N?=?67) then viewed the three videos in counterbalanced order. Eye-tracking data showed that participants looked longer at emotional than neutral faces, and exploration of facial features varied with emotional condition. AT did not influence viewing patterns, time to first fixation or number of early fixations. We conclude that AT in the general population do not affect visual processing of emotional faces.
