本研究探讨了引发（构成）的情感表达的儿童，青少年和年轻的成年人与自闭症（N = 18）或唐氏综合征（N = 24）。受试者被要求（a）模仿五个模型化的表情（模仿任务）和（B）产生五个标记的表情（表情任务）。自闭症受试者在这两项任务中都产生了可识别的表情，但当目标情绪被标记但未建模时，他们产生的表情比唐氏综合征受试者少（表情）。模仿和表达任务同样困难的主题与自闭症，但主题与唐氏综合征表现更好的表达比模仿。在这两项任务中，自闭症受试者的反应都包含许多不寻常的行为，比如奇怪的表情和那些看起来“机械”的表情。研究结果表明，与实际年龄、心理年龄和智商相似的唐氏综合症患者相比，自闭症患者产生情感表达的难度更大。
This study examined elicited (posed) affective expressions in children, adolescents, and young adults with autism (N = 18) or Down's syndrome (N = 24). Subjects were asked to (a) imitate five modeled expressions (Imitation task) and (b) produce five labeled expressions (Expression task). Subjects with autism produced recognizable expressions in both tasks, but they produced fewer than did subjects with Down's syndrome when target emotions were labeled but not modeled (Expression). Imitation and Expression tasks were equally difficult for subjects with autism, but subjects with Down's syndrome performed better in Expression than in Imitation. In both tasks, the responses of subjects with autism contained many unusual behaviors, such as bizarre expressions and those that looked ''mechanical.'' Results suggest that producing elicited affective expressions is more difficult for persons with autism than for persons with Down's syndrome of similar chronological age, mental age, and IQ.
