Emotional competence in children with autism: Diagnostic criteria and empirical evidence (2008, background): “Compared to MA-matched controls, MR toddlers and preschoolers are equally attentive to other people (Baranek, 1999; Osterling et al., 2002), and to others’ faces and show positive affect when engaging with others (Kasari, Freeman, Mundy, & Sigman, 1995).”
Development in infants with autism spectrum disorders: a prospective study. (2006, background): “The behaviors that distinguished one-year-olds with autism from those with mental retardation included responsivity to name and looking at others ( Osterling et al., 2002 ).”
Early social attention impairments in autism: social orienting, joint attention, and attention to distress. (2004, background): “Similarly, in another home videotape study, Osterling et al. (2002) found that 1-year-old infants later diagnosed with autism could be distinguished from 1-year-old infants later diagnosed with mental retardation (without autism) on the basis of two behaviors: looking at people and orienting to…”
What studies of family home movies can teach us about autistic infants: A literature review (2010, methodology): “Given the great number and variety of methodological designs, we constructed a quality grid to prioritize the studies with a quality coefficient that was estimated according to nine criteria: (a) sample size (N< 10 vs. 10–15 vs. >15), (b) diagnostic criteria (no criteria vs. diagnostic criteria of P”
Visual Fixation Patterns during Reciprocal Social Interaction Distinguish a Subgroup of 6-Month-Old Infants At-Risk for Autism from Comparison Infants (2007, background): “Early detection studies designed to identify behavioral markers of the disorder in infancy (including population-based screening studies, retrospective home movie studies, and studies of high-risk populations) are underway to try to overcome this diagnostic obstacle and open new avenues for treatmen”
Does perceived direct gaze boost detection in adults and children with and without autism? The stare-in-the-crowd effect revisited (2005, background): “It appears very early in development (Osterling & Dawson, 1994; Osterling, Dawson, & Munson, 2002).”
Gaze fixation and the neural circuitry of face processing in autism (2005, background): “These studies demonstrate that inattention to faces is an early developmental sign of autism that is apparent as early as 1 year of ag”
Infants deploy selective attention to the mouth of a talking face when learning speech (2012, background): “Studies have found that 1-y-old children diagnosed with autism look less at faces (38) and that 2-y children diagnosed with autism look more at the mouth of a talker unlike typically developing children who look more at the eyes (55).”
Why is joint attention a pivotal skill in autism? (2003, background): “…that an early joint attention behaviour (looking at an object held out by other), rated retrospectively from home videos of first birthday parties, was associated with symptom severity (rated on the Childhood Autism Rating Scale; Schopler et al. (1980)) at age 5 years (Osterling et al. 2002).”
Early behavioral intervention, brain plasticity, and the prevention of autism spectrum disorder (2008, background): “…later diagnosed with autism can be distinguished from typical infants by a failure to respond to name (Baranek, 1999; Osterling & Dawson, 1994; Osterling et al., 2002), decreased looking at the faces of others (Osterling & Dawson, 1994), and low rates of showing things to others and pointing…”
