先前关于自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）个体对情绪面孔的注意偏向的研究提供了混合的结果。这可能是由于所检查的注意偏向成分和情绪表达的差异。本研究评估了三个偏见的组成部分，过度警觉，脱离和回避，使用厌恶，快乐，或中性的表情在点探测和外部线索任务的18名儿童与ASD和21个典型的发展（TD）的儿童的面孔。自闭症儿童最初表现出对厌恶面孔的高度警惕，随后出现了一种普遍的倾向，即避免回头看任何面孔出现的空间位置，而不管其情绪表达如何。这些结果强调了在ASD研究中区分注意偏差成分的重要性。
Previous studies on attentional bias towards emotional faces in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) provided mixed results. This might be due to differences in the examined attentional bias components and emotional expressions. This study assessed three bias components, hypervigilance, disengagement and avoidance, using faces with a disgust, happy, or neutral expression in a dot-probe and external cuing task in 18 children with ASD and 21 typically developing (TD) children. The children with ASD initially displayed hypervigilance towards the disgust faces, followed by a general tendency to avoid looking back at the spatial location at which any face, irrespective of its emotional expression, had been presented. These results highlight the importance of differentiating between attentional bias components in research on ASD.
