遗传性疾病威廉姆斯综合征(WS)与社会刺激和与人的互动有关。相比之下，神经发育障碍自闭症的特征是社交退缩和对社会相关信息缺乏兴趣。使用眼球跟踪技术，我们调查了患有这两种神经发育障碍的个体如何看待包含人的场景，这些障碍与不同的社会特征有关。患有这些障碍的人看待社会刺激的方式可能会影响成功的社会互动和沟通。虽然自闭症患者花在观看社交互动静态照片中的人和脸的时间比典型的人少，但对于患有WS的人来说，情况正好相反，因为夸张的凝视普遍出现在眼睛上。这些结果表明，应该更多地关注WS中非典型社会偏好的含义，就像人们已经注意到与自闭症相关的社会缺陷一样。(C)2008爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
The genetic disorder Williams syndrome (WS) is associated with a propulsion towards social stimuli and interactions with people. In contrast, the neuro-developmental disorder autism is characterised by social withdrawal and lack of interest in socially relevant information. Using eye-tracking techniques we investigate how individuals with these two neuro-developmental disorders associated with distinct social characteristics view scenes containing people. The way individuals with these disorders view social stimuli may impact upon successful social interactions and communication. Whilst individuals with autism spend less time than is typical viewing people and faces in static pictures of social interactions, the opposite is apparent for those with WS whereby exaggerated fixations are prevalent towards the eyes. The results suggest more attention should be drawn towards understanding the implications of atypical social preferences in WS, in the same way that attention has been drawn to the social deficits associated with autism.
