这项研究评估了自闭症患者的非典型面孔处理是否从人类面孔扩展到他们表现出更大兴趣的卡通面孔。20名患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的儿童与两组正常发育的儿童进行了比较，这两组儿童的实际年龄和心理年龄相匹配。他们处理了真实面孔、人类卡通面孔和非人类卡通面孔的情感表情。患有自闭症谱系障碍的儿童在处理情绪表达方面与对照组一样有能力，但策略因面部类型而异。控件依赖于具有所有面的配置策略。相比之下，ASD儿童对卡通使用了这种典型的构形策略，但对真实面孔使用了局部策略。这种非典型的视觉处理风格在面部专家的背景下进行了讨论。
This study evaluated whether atypical face processing in autism extends from human to cartoon faces for which they show a greater interest. Twenty children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) were compared to two groups of typically developing children, matched on chronological and mental age. They processed the emotional expressions of real faces, human cartoon and non-human cartoon faces. Children with ASD were as capable as controls in processing emotional expressions, but strategies differed according to the type of face. Controls relied on a configural strategy with all faces. By contrast, ASD children exploited this typical configural strategy with cartoons but used a local strategy with real faces. This atypical visual processing style is discussed in the context of face expertise.
