An investigation of basic facial expression recognition in autism spectrum disorders (2008, background): “Previous studies of basic facial expression recognition in ASD have often used small samples (e.g., N 8 in Adolphs et al., 2001) without enough statistical power to be confident about making group comparisons.”
Visual Scanning of Faces in Autism (2002, neutral): “…data is consisted with studies that have failed to find deficits in affect recognition among groups of high-functioning autistic individual when the identification task involved very simple or basic emotions (e.g., Adolphs et al., 2001; Baron-Cohen et al., 1993, 1997; Volkmar et al., 1989).”
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Children and Adults with Asperger's Syndrome (2004, background): “Research with subjects with autism using new neuro-imaging technology has also identified structural and functional abnormalities of the amygdala ( Adolphs, Sears, & Piven, 2001; Baron-Cohen, Ring, Wheelwright, Bullmore, Brammer, Simmons, et al., 1999; Critchley et al., 2000; Fine, Lumsden, & Blair”
Emotion Recognition in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Relations to Eye Gaze and Autonomic State (2010, background): “Some studies have identified deficits (Baron-Cohen et al. 1993; Capps et al. 1992; Celani et al. 1999; Golan et al. 2008; Hobson 1986a, b; Hobson et al. 1989; Howard et al. 2000; Langdell 1982; Mazefsky and Oswald 2008; Weeks and Hobson 1987) whereas others have reported no evidence for impairments ”
Emotional competence in children with autism: Diagnostic criteria and empirical evidence (2008, background): “Some studies suggest that HFASD children are sensitive to social or emotional cues in HFASD but misinterpret their meaning (Adolphs et al., 2001; Boucher et al., 2000; Dawson, Webb, & McPartland, 2005; van der Geest, Kemner, Camfferman, Verbaten, & van Engeland, 2002).”
Vision in autism spectrum disorders. (2009, background): “…sadness, anger and disgust (Baron-Cohen, Wheelwright, & Jolliffe, 1997; Baron-Cohen et al., 1993; Davies et al., 1994; Volkmar et al., 1989b; Adolphs et al., 2001; Gepner, Deruelle, & Grynfeltt, 2001; Grossman et al., 2000; Hubl et al., 2003; Loveland et al., 1997; Piggot et al., 2004;…”
Activation of the fusiform gyrus when individuals with autism spectrum disorder view faces (2004, background): “Moreover, recognition of facial expressions of emotion has been found to be impaired in ASD (Adolphs et al., 2001; Braverman et al., 1989; Celani et al., 1999; Critchley et al., 2000; Davidson and Dalton, 2003; Hobson et al., 1988a,b; Ozonoff et al., 1990; Tantam et al., 1989; Teunisse and de Gelder”
Responding to the emotions of others: dissociating forms of empathy through the study of typical and psychiatric populations. (2005, neutral): “However, individuals with autism are not prosopagnosic and, as noted above, when matched for verbal mental age, are usually unimpaired in facial affect recognition (Adolphs et al., 2001; Ozonoff et al., 1990; Prior et al., 1990).”
The Amygdala Is Enlarged in Children But Not Adolescents with Autism; the Hippocampus Is Enlarged at All Ages (2004, background): “The role of the amygdala in processing stimuli related to potential threat may extend to complex judgments on whether to approach or trust other people, a function in which both human patients with amygdala lesions and individuals with autism are impaired ( Adolphs et al., 1998, 2001 ).”
