本眼动追踪研究的主要目的是在患有自闭症（AD）、非特异性广泛性发育障碍（PDD-NOS）或典型发育（TD）的幼儿中，在自发凝视和点手势的简短测试中绘制凝视表现的相关性。凝视措施包括儿童的自发倾向，看看正确的（出席）玩具，和他们的正确反应的潜伏期。除了组差异（AD与TD），我们发现，在AD，准确性的性能是特别相关的自适应沟通技巧。该研究还表明，正确注视转移的延迟与语言智力有关。这些结果对我们理解AD中的（反应性）联合注意障碍有直接影响。
The main purpose of this eye tracking study was to map the correlates of gaze performance in a brief test of spontaneous gaze and point-gesture following in young children with autistic disorder (AD), Pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), or typical development (TD). Gaze measures included the children's spontaneous tendency to look at the correct (attended) toy, and the latency of their correct responses. In addition to group differences (AD vs. TD), we found that in AD, accuracy of performance was specifically related to adaptive communication skills. The study also indicated that the latency of correct gaze shifts is related to verbal intelligence. These results have direct implications for our understanding of (responsive) joint attention impairments in AD.
