Activation of the fusiform gyrus when individuals with autism spectrum disorder view faces (2004, background): “Several recent studies have shown that visual scanning of faces is abnormal in individuals with autism, characterized by a tendency to look less at the inner features of the face, particularly the eyes (Davidson and Dalton, 2003; Klin et al., 2002; Pelphrey et al., 2002).”
Predicting human gaze using low-level saliency combined with face detection (2007, background): “In fact, there is mounting evidence of infants’ preference for face-like patterns before they can even consciously perceive the category of faces [13], which is crucial for emotion and social processing ([13, 14, 15, 16]).”
EEG evidence for mirror neuron dysfunction in autism spectrum disorders. (2005, background): “However, in light of recent evidence for altered fixation patterns in individuals with ASD [32,53], future research should include measures of eye position.”
Emotion Recognition in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Relations to Eye Gaze and Autonomic State (2010, background): “This finding supports, in part, previous studies in which ASD children displayed increased gaze to bodies and objects and reduced gaze to the eyes (Dalton et al. 2005; Klin et al. 2002; Pelphrey et al. 2002).”
Why is joint attention a pivotal skill in autism? (2003, background): “This mirrors recent findings using a sophisticated eye-tracking methodology to examine where adults with autism look when watching film of social interactions (Klin et al. 2002b).”
Oxytocin and the neural mechanisms regulating social cognition and affiliative behavior. (2009, background): “Subjects with autism spectrum disorder or schizophrenia often do not attend to the appropriate facial cues of others [107,108].”
Eye tracking studies of normative and atypical development (2007, background): “However, the study on PDD by Klin et al. (2002), in which eye movements to video clips depicting social scenes were found to be related to measures of social competence, demonstrates the potential of these types of analyses.”
Visual Fixation Patterns during Reciprocal Social Interaction Distinguish a Subgroup of 6-Month-Old Infants At-Risk for Autism from Comparison Infants (2007, background): “Eye tracking work by Klin et al. (2002) suggested that adults with autism tend to gaze at the mouth at the expense of the eyes when viewing social scenes; we therefore hypothesized that a subgroup of infants in the at-risk group would gaze more at their mother's mouth and make less eye contact than…”
Understanding the Nature of Face Processing Impairment in Autism: Insights From Behavioral and Electrophysiological Studies (2005, background): “Studies ( Klin, Jones, Schultz, Volkmar, & Cohen, 2002; Pelphrey et al., 2002; Trepagnier, Sebrechts, & Peterson, 2002) of visual attention to faces have indicated that individuals with autism exhibit reduced attention to the core features of the face, such as the eyes and nose, relative to typical”
A review of methods in the study of attention in autism (2010, background): “In particular, Kemner and colleagues (Kemner & van Engeland, 2003) point out that the seminal study by Klin et al. (2002) presented various extra challenges to the viewer with ASD which could have influenced their scan-paths: concurrent multi-modal information (image and soundtrack), moving images,…”
State-of-the-art of virtual reality technologies for children on the autism spectrum (2011, background): “For example, children on the autism spectrum tend to look at different aspects of a visual array compared to typically developing participants (e.g. Klin et al. 2002), often focusing on visual detail or ‘parts’ rather than the ‘whole’ (e.g. Happe 1996).”
