自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者对面部的关注减少可能导致情绪识别和表达障碍。本研究评估了一种旨在减轻面部情绪识别缺陷的注意修饰干预的可接受性、可行性和初步效果。在10个疗程的实验治疗中，ASD患儿（n = 8）观看了不同情绪表达的动态视频，并突出了面部特征，以引导儿童的注意力。孩子们和他们的父母普遍认为这种治疗是可以接受和有益的。尽管在基于任务的测量中，FER的改善并不明显，但父母们报告说，治疗后，FER有了轻微的改善，社会情绪问题也有所减少。结果表明，在实验治疗方案中进一步研究ASD的视觉注意再训练可能是有希望的。
Diminished attending to faces may contribute to the impairments in emotion recognition and expression in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The current study evaluated the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of an attention modification intervention designed to attenuate deficits in facial emotion recognition (FER). During the 10-session experimental treatment, children (n = 8) with ASD watched dynamic videos of people expressing different emotions with the facial features highlighted to guide children’s attention. Children and their parents generally rated the treatment as acceptable and helpful. Although FER improvement was not apparent on task-based measures, parents reported slight improvements and decreased socioemotional problems following treatment. Results suggest that further research on visual attention retraining for ASD, within an experimental therapeutic program, may be promising.
