Abstract EN
Eye gaze direction and expression intensity effects on emotion recognition in children with autism disorder and typically developing children were investigated.
Children with autism disorder and typically developing children identified happy and angry expressions equally well.
Children with autism disorder, however, were less accurate in identifying fear expressions across intensities and eye gaze directions.
Children with autism disorder rated expressions with direct eyes, and 50% expressions, as more intense than typically developing children.
A trend was also found for sad expressions, as children with autism disorder were less accurate in recognizing sadness at 100% intensity with direct eyes than typically developing children.
Although the present research showed that children with autism disorder are sensitive to eye gaze direction, impairments in the recognition of fear, and possibly sadness, exist.
Furthermore, children with autism disorder and typically developing children perceive the intensity of emotional expressions differently.
