Abstract EN
Eye-tracking studies on exploration of faces and objects in autism provided important knowledge but only in a constraint condition (chin rest, total time looking at screen not reported), without studying potential differences between subjects with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and controls in spontaneous visual attention toward a screen presenting these stimuli.
This study used eye tracking to compare spontaneous visual attention to a screen displaying a face or an object between children with autism and controls in a nonconstraint condition and to investigate the relationship with clinical characteristics in autism group.
Time exploring screen was measured during passive viewing of static images of faces or objects.
Autistic behaviors were assessed by the CARS and the BSE-R in autism group.
In autism group, time exploring face screen and time exploring object screen were lower than in controls and were not correlated with degree of distractibility.
There was no interaction between group and type of image on time spent exploring screen.
Only time exploring face screen was correlated with autism severity and gaze impairment.
Results highlight particularities of spontaneous visual attention toward a screen displaying faces or objects in autism, which should be taken into account in future eye-tracking studies on face exploration.
