Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 28-7 (July 2024) . - p.1690-1702 Titre : Emotion recognition in autism spectrum condition during the COVID-19 pandemic Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Christoph KORN, Auteur ; Sabine C. HERPERTZ, Auteur ; Thomas FUCHS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1690-1702 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  COVID-19  emotion recognition  eye tracking Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : With the widespread use of masks in the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to understand how emotion recognition is affected by partial face covering. Since individuals with autism spectrum condition often tend to look at the lower half of the face, they are likely to be particularly restricted in emotion recognition by people wearing masks, since they are now forced to look at the upper half of the face. This study compared the recognition of basic and complex emotions in individuals with and without autism spectrum condition, when faces were presented uncovered, with face masks, or with sunglasses. We also used eye tracking to examine group differences in gaze patterns during emotion recognition. Individuals with autism spectrum condition were less accurate at recognizing emotions in all three conditions. Averaged across the three stimulus types, individuals with autism spectrum condition had greater difficulty recognizing anger, fear, pride, and embarrassment than control group. There was no group difference in emotion recognition between the three conditions. However, compared to individuals without autism spectrum condition, there was no evidence of either gaze avoidance or preference for the mouth region. Our results suggest that emotion recognition is reduced in individuals with autism spectrum condition, but this is not due to differences in gaze patterns. Lay Abstract In the COVID-19 pandemic, wearing face masks became mandatory to prevent the spread of the virus. However, they restrict the ability to recognize emotions to the upper part of the face. Since individuals with autism spectrum condition often tend to look at the lower half of the face, they may be particularly restricted in emotion recognition by people wearing masks, since they are now forced to look at the upper half of the face. The current study compared the recognition of facially expressed emotions between individuals with and without autism spectrum condition. Each photo was shown in three types, once uncovered, once with face mask, and once with sunglasses. Our results revealed a reduction in accuracy of individuals with autism spectrum condition at recognizing emotions in all three stimulus types and exhibited more difficulties distinguishing anger, fear, pride, and embarrassment. During the emotion recognition task, there was no difference in which facial areas the groups looked at. We did not find evidence that the disadvantages of individuals with autism spectrum condition in emotion recognition were due to looking at different areas of the face.

Emotional processing in male adolescents with childhood-onset conduct disorder / Sabine C. HERPERTZ in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 49-7 (July 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 49-7 (July 2008) . - p.781 - 791 Titre : Emotional processing in male adolescents with childhood-onset conduct disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sabine C. HERPERTZ, Auteur ; Beate HERPERTZ-DAHLMANN, Auteur ; Gereon R. FINK, Auteur ; Kerstin KONRAD, Auteur ; Thomas HUEBNER, Auteur ; Ivo MARX, Auteur ; Timo D. VLOET, Auteur ; Tony STOECKER, Auteur ; N. Jon SHAH, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.781 - 791 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Conduct-disorder fMRI emotion antisocial-behavior amygdala antisocial-personality-disorder Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Boys with early onset of conduct disorder (CD), most of whom also meet diagnostic criteria of a comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), tend to exhibit high levels of aggression throughout development. While a number of functional neuroimaging studies on emotional processing have been performed in antisocial adults, little is known about how CD children process emotional information. Method: Functional magnetic resonance imaging data were analyzed in 22 male adolescents aged 12 to 17 years with childhood-onset CD (16 of them with comorbid ADHD) compared to 22 age-matched male healthy controls. In order to consider the likely confounding of results through ADHD comorbidity, we performed a supplementary study including 13 adolescent subjects with pure ADHD who were compared with healthy controls. To challenge emotional processing of stimuli, a passive viewing task was applied, presenting pictures of negative, positive or neutral valence. Results: When comparing CD/combined disorder patients with healthy controls, we found enhanced left-sided amygdala activation in response to negative pictures as compared to neutral pictures in the patient group. In addition, these boys exhibited no reduced activation in the orbitofrontal, anterior cingulate and insular cortices. By contrast, children with pure ADHD did not show any abnormalities in amygdala activation but showed decreased neural activity in the insula only in response to negative pictures. Conclusions: Increased rather than reduced amygdala activation found in our study may indicate an enhanced response to environmental cues in adolescents with early-onset CD (most of whom also met the condition of ADHD), and is not consistent with the assumption of a reduced capacity to take note of affective information in the social environment. Further studies with an emphasis on developmental aspects of affect regulation are needed to clarify the relationship between CD and adult personality pathology associated with different modes of persistent antisocial behavior.
