在这项研究中，我们提出了一个眼动跟踪范式，改编自以前的工作与幼儿，评估社会互动的青少年年龄在5-17岁的ASD和典型的发展控制（TDC）的喜好。孩子们一起玩耍的视频（社交场景，SS）与动画几何形状（GS）并排呈现。与TDC相比，ASD参与者表现出SS偏好降低，结果也持续表现为在合并样本中较高的SS偏好和较少的社交困难之间的关联。探索性分析确定了增加的SS偏好和更高的葡萄园日常生活技能ASD之间的关联，并建议在TDC女性的SS偏好可能会驱动ASD与TDC组间差异。这些发现描述了学龄儿童对社会信息的偏好和社会功能之间潜在的性别关联。
In this study, we present an eye-tracking paradigm, adapted from previous work with toddlers, for assessing social-interaction looking preferences in youth ages 5-17 with ASD and typically-developing controls (TDC). Videos of children playing together (Social Scenes, SS) were presented side-by-side with animated geometric shapes (GS). Participants with ASD demonstrated reduced SS preferences compared to TDC, results also represented continuously by associations between higher SS preferences and fewer social difficulties across the combined sample. Exploratory analyses identified associations between increased SS preferences and higher Vineland Daily Living Skills in ASD and suggested SS preferences in TDC females might drive ASD versus TDC between-group differences. These findings describe potentially sex-linked couplings between preferences for social information and social functioning in school-aged children.
