自闭症谱系障碍（ASC）患者在许多感知和认知任务中对背景刺激的敏感性降低。我们调查了这是否也适用于决策，通过检查成人参与者对消费品之间的选择，提出了第三个，不太理想的“诱饵”选项。当第三个项目改变时，参与者对给定项目的偏好经常发生变化，但这种趋势在ASC个体中有所减少，这表明他们的选择比对照组参与者更一致和传统理性。从普通人群中抽取的自闭症特征水平不同的人进行比较，发现同样的效果较弱。背景敏感度的降低并不是由于噪音反应的差异，尽管ASC组需要更长的时间来做出决定，但这并不能解释他们选择的一致性增强。这些结果扩展了自闭症认知的特征，即对一个新的领域相对不敏感，并对社会经济行为具有实际意义。
People with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) show reduced sensitivity to contextual stimuli in many perceptual and cognitive tasks. We investigated whether this also applies to decision making by examining adult participants’ choices between pairs of consumer products that were presented with a third, less desirable “decoy” option. Participants’ preferences between the items in a given pair frequently switched when the third item in the set was changed, but this tendency was reduced among individuals with ASC, which indicated that their choices were more consistent and conventionally rational than those of control participants. A comparison of people who were drawn from the general population and who varied in their levels of autistic traits revealed a weaker version of the same effect. The reduced context sensitivity was not due to differences in noisy responding, and although the ASC group took longer to make their decisions, this did not account for the enhanced consistency of their choices. The results extend the characterization of autistic cognition as relatively context insensitive to a new domain, and have practical implications for socioeconomic behavior.
