• Early behavioral intervention, brain plasticity, and the prevention of autism spectrum disorder (2008, background): “…adults with ASD (McPartland, Dawson, Webb, & Panagiotides, 2004) as well as parents of children with ASD also show a similar atypical ERP to faces (Dawson et al., 2005) and facial expressions (Dawson, Webb, Estes, Munson, & Faja, 2008), suggesting that this electrophysiological endophenotype…”
• Subcortical face processing (2005, background): “Finally, the subcortical route hypothesis could potentially unite the previously separate perceptual cognitive deficits in face processing with the motivational/affective disturbances in AS”
• Visual Fixation Patterns during Reciprocal Social Interaction Distinguish a Subgroup of 6-Month-Old Infants At-Risk for Autism from Comparison Infants (2007, background): “In a recent study of face recognition performance and event-related brain potentials to face-versus non-face stimuli in parents of children with autism, Dawson et al. (2005) found that this group of parents demonstrated a decrement in face recognition relative to visual spatial and verbal abilities.”
• Vision in autism spectrum disorders. (2009, methodology): “Atypical ERP and EEG responses to visual stimulation have been found in a number of studies on ASD (see reviews by Dawson et al., 2005; Kemner & van Engelund, 2006).”
• Diffusion tensor imaging of the corpus callosum in Autism (2007, neutral): “Numerous studies have implicated slow processing speed in autism, involving diverse cognitive functions (Behrmann et al., 2006; Dawson et al., 2005; Scheuffgen et al., 2000).”
• The eye contact effect: mechanisms and development. (2009, neutral): “to learn about eye contact, which originated from a lack of social orienting mechanisms [72] or motivation [ 73 ].”
• Enhanced Perceptual Functioning in Autism: An Update, and Eight Principles of Autistic Perception (2006, background): “We agree with this, and that focusing exclusively on deficits in the processing of social material, as in alternative, ‘‘social first’’ models (e.g., current reviews in Schultz, 2005; Dawson, Webb, & McPartland, 2005 ) may miss the ‘‘pervasive’’ character of autistic di!erences .
