确定自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）对情绪线索的内隐反应是否完整，对于确定他们的情绪理解为何受损至关重要。我们使用了一个时间二分法的任务，以评估反应的脸和野生动物的图像，不同的情绪显着性。成人ASD和对照组之间没有显着差异，两者都表现出对情绪刺激的内隐高估。此外，在大学生中，情绪刺激的高估与自闭症特质之间没有相关性。这些数据并不表明ASD患者或具有高度自闭症特征的个体对情感图像的唤起内容基本不敏感。这些发现对于理解ASD中情绪刺激是如何处理的具有重要意义。
Establishing whether implicit responses to emotional cues are intact in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is fundamental to ascertaining why their emotional understanding is compromised. We used a temporal bisection task to assess for responsiveness to face and wildlife images that varied in emotional salience. There were no significant differences between an adult ASD and comparison group, with both showing implicit overestimation of emotional stimuli. Further, there was no correlation between overestimation of emotional stimuli and autistic traits in undergraduate students. These data do not suggest a fundamental insensitivity to the arousing content of emotional images in ASD, or in individuals with a high degree of autistic traits. The findings have implications for understanding how emotional stimuli are processed in ASD.
