Cognitive empathy in autistic children: Differences across social and non-social contexts and emotion types / Weitao ZHANG in Research in Autism, 136 (August 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 136 (August 2026) . - 202957 Titre : Cognitive empathy in autistic children: Differences across social and non-social contexts and emotion types Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Weitao ZHANG, Auteur ; Jie ZHANG, Auteur ; Zhihan YANG, Auteur ; Lijuan ZOU, Auteur ; Sutao SONG, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202957 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Cognitive empathy  Social context  Theory of mind  Social emotion Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Cognitive empathy difficulties are often observed in autism, but research on the factors associated with these difficulties remains limited. This study investigated whether social and non-social contexts are associated with contextualized cognitive empathy performance for different emotions (happiness, sadness, anger, and fear) in autistic children. Thirty autistic children (mean age = 9.00 ± 0.70 years, range = 8–10 years) and 30 non-autistic children watched a series of video-based emotional situations depicting everyday experiences in either social (involving peer interactions) or non-social contexts. Afterward, they answered questions designed to assess their contextualized cognitive empathy performance. Compared to non-autistic children, autistic children had lower cognitive empathy task scores across all types of emotion, though their scores were relatively higher for happiness than for other emotions. Additionally, among autistic children, cognitive empathy task scores were lower in social contexts than in non-social contexts for happiness, anger, and fear, but not for sadness. These findings provide preliminary evidence that contextualized cognitive empathy performance may vary across social and non-social contexts in autistic children. Stronger conclusions about emotion-specific contextual effects require further investigation.

Visuospatial Bias in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Evidence from Line Bisection Tasks / Chunyan LIU in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-11 (November 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 52-11 (November 2022) . - p.4861-4871 Titre : Visuospatial Bias in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Evidence from Line Bisection Tasks Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Chunyan LIU, Auteur ; Huajie ZHAI, Auteur ; Shuhua SU, Auteur ; Sutao SONG, Auteur ; Gongxiang CHEN, Auteur ; Yi JIANG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4861-4871 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Attention  Autism Spectrum Disorder  Child  Cues  Humans  Space Perception  Visual Perception  Autism spectrum disorder  Line bisection task  Visual processing  Visuospatial bias Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previous studies have found reduced leftward bias of facial processing in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, it is not clear whether they manifest a leftward bias in general visual processing. To shed light on this issue, the current study used the manual line bisection task to assess children 5 to 15 years of age with ASD as well as typically developing (TD) children. Results showed that children with ASD, similar to TD children, demonstrate a leftward bias in general visual processing, especially for bisecting long lines (â§Â 80 mm). In both groups, participant performance in line bisection was affected by the hand used, the length of the line, the cueing symbol, and the location of the symbol. The ASD group showed a rightward bias when bisecting short lines (30 mm) with their left hands, which slightly differed from the TD group. These results indicate that while ASD individuals and TD individuals share a similar leftward bias in general visual processing, when using their left hands to bisect short lines, ASD individuals may show an atypical bias pattern.
