报告的实验旨在调查一个人和他或她的凝视方向是否在自然场景的背景下引起感知，记忆和注意力在典型发育中的青少年和患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的高功能青少年中存在偏见。一种新颖的计算机图像处理程序呈现了一系列摄影场景，每个场景都包含一个人。该计划使参与者能够横向操纵静态窗口后面的场景，其边界部分遮挡了场景。在场景中的人的注视方向自发地提示两组的注意力在注视的方向，影响偏好的判断（实验1a），并导致记忆偏差（实验1b）。实验2表明，一个人的视线方向线索视觉搜索准确地在两组的确切位置的凝视。这些研究结果表明，患有和没有自闭症谱系障碍的青少年在复杂场景中观看时，偏好、记忆和注意力的偏差是由另一个人的注视方向引起的（C）2009 Elsevier Inc.

The reported experiments aimed to investigate whether a person and his or her gaze direction presented in the context of a naturalistic scene cause perception, memory, and attention to be biased in typically developing adolescents and high-functioning adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A novel computerized image manipulation program presented a series of photographic scenes, each containing a person. The program enabled participants to laterally maneuver the scenes behind a static window, the borders of which partially occluded the scenes. The gaze direction of the person in the scenes spontaneously cued attention of both groups in the direction of gaze, affecting judgments of preference (Experiment 1a) and causing memory biases (Experiment 1b). Experiment 2 showed that the gaze direction of a person cues visual search accurately to the exact location of gaze in both groups. These findings suggest that biases in preference, memory, and attention are caused by another person's gaze direction when viewed in a complex scene in adolescents with and without ASD (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.
