研究人员比较了自闭症儿童、弱智儿童和正常儿童对成年人表现出痛苦、恐惧和不适的注意力、面部情感和行为反应。正常儿童和弱智儿童在所有三种情况下都非常注意成年人。相比之下,许多自闭症儿童似乎忽视或没有注意到成年人表现出的这些负面影响。作为一个群体,当成年人假装受伤时,自闭症儿童比其他儿童更少地看成年人,更热衷于玩玩具。自闭症儿童也不太注意成年人表现出的恐惧,尽管他们的行为与正常儿童没有什么不同。在任何一组中,很少有孩子在面对这些情况时表现出面部表情。结果进行了讨论的重要性,影响在社会学习经验的幼儿。
Attention, facial affect, and behavioral responses to adults showing distress, fear, and discomfort were compared for autistic, mentally retarded, and normal children. The normal and mentally retarded children were very attentive to adults in all 3 situations. In contrast, many of the autistic children appeared to ignore or not notice the adults showing these negative affects. As a group, the autistic children looked at the adults less and were much more engaged in toy play than the other children during periods when an adult pretended to be hurt. The autistic children were also less attentive to adults showing fear, although their behavior was not different from the normal children. Few of the children in any group showed much facial affect in response to these situations. The results are discussed in terms of the importance of affect in the social learning experiences of the young child.
