The current study investigates the extent to which autistic symptoms may impact deception detection in a neurodiverse sample of autistic and non-autistic adults (n = 77, ages 18-29 years). Participants were assessed for general cognitive ability, executive functioning (EF) skills, self-reported autism symptomatology. In addition, they completed a deception detection task, which involved watching video interviews and judging whether the protagonists in the video were truthful or lying. Interviews represented veracity matched (demeanor aligns with their verbal responses) and veracity mismatched (demeanor does not align with their verbal responses) conditions. Results indicate that while controlling for age, gender, and FSIQ, and the autism spectrum quotient uniquely impacted deception detection ability in the veracity mismatched condition but not in the matched condition. This relationship was moderated by EF skills, such that as the autism symptoms increased in participants with better EF, their accuracy on the mismatched condition also increased significantly. Although weaker, this was also true for participants with poorer EF. These findings suggest that individuals with increased autistic symptoms may have an advantage in some aspects of lie-detection, as they may be less likely to be influenced by misleading social cues. These results provide insights into the mechanisms underlying deception detection in ASD and related weaknesses in social communication.

The N170 event-related potential reflects delayed neural response to faces when visual attention is directed to the eyes in youths with ASD / Termara PARKER in Autism Research, 14-7 (July 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-7 (July 2021) . - p.1347-1356 Titre : The N170 event-related potential reflects delayed neural response to faces when visual attention is directed to the eyes in youths with ASD Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Termara PARKER, Auteur ; Michael J. CROWLEY, Auteur ; Adam J. NAPLES, Auteur ; Max J. ROLISON, Auteur ; Jieling WU, Auteur ; Julie A. TRAPANI, Auteur ; James C. MCPARTLAND, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1347-1356 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Autism Spectrum Disorder  Brain  Child  Evoked Potentials  Facial Recognition  Humans  Eeg  N170  autism  event-related potential  face perception  social neuroscience Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Atypical neural response to faces is thought to contribute to social deficits in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Compared to typically developing (TD) controls, individuals with ASD exhibit delayed brain responses to upright faces at a face-sensitive event-related potential (ERP), the N170. Given observed differences in patterns of visual attention to faces, it is not known whether slowed neural processing may simply reflect atypical looking to faces. The present study manipulated visual attention to facial features to examine whether directed attention to the eyes normalizes N170 latency in ASD. ERPs were recorded in 30 children and adolescents with ASD as well as 26 TD children and adolescents. Results replicated prior findings of shorter N170 latency to the eye region of the face in TD individuals. In contrast, those with ASD did not demonstrate modulation of N170 latency by point of regard to the face. Group differences in latency were most pronounced when attention was directed to the eyes. Results suggest that well-replicated findings of N170 delays in ASD do not simply reflect atypical patterns of visual engagement with experimental stimuli. These findings add to a body of evidence indicating that N170 delays are a promising marker of atypical neural response to social information in ASD. LAY SUMMARY: This study looks at how children's and adolescents' brains respond when looking at different parts of a face. Typically developing children and adolescents processed eyes faster than other parts of the face, whereas this pattern was not seen in ASD. Children and adolescents with ASD processed eyes more slowly than typically developing children. These findings suggest that observed inefficiencies in face processing in ASD are not simply reflective of failure to attend to the eyes.
