How Social Scenes Impact Responding Joint Attention Process in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
This study aimed to explore how social scenes impact responding joint attention process in children with ASD.Thirty-two ASD children aged 3~6 and forty typically developing(TD)children of the same age participated in two eye-tracking experiments:one involving a person-object social scene and the other an interpersonal social scene.The findings revealed that changes in the intensity of social information had a noticeable impact on the gaze perception of responding joint attention in ASD children compared to TD children.ASD children demonstrated significant impairments in their ability to follow gazes in both types of social situations.
