Abstract EN
Impaired cognitive flexibility in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been reported in previous literature.
The present study explored ASD children’s visual scanning patterns during the Dimensional Change Card Sorting (DCCS) task using eye-tracking technique.
ASD and typical developing (TD) children completed the standardized DCCS procedure on the computer while their eye movements were tracked.
Behavioral results confirmed previous findings on ASD children’s deficits in executive function.
ASD children’s visual scanning patterns also showed some specific underlying processes in the DCCS task compared to TD children.
For example, ASD children looked shorter at the correct card in the postswitch phase and spent longer time at blank areas than TD children did.
ASD children did not show a bias to the color dimension as TD children did.
The correlations between the behavioral performance and eye moments were also discussed.
