Abstract
Objective
To quantify preferential attention to the eyes of others at what is presently the earliest point of diagnosis in autism.
Design
We presented the children with 10 videos. Each video showed an actress looking directly into the camera, playing the role of caregiver, and engaging the viewer (playing pat-a-cake, peek-a-boo, etc). Children's visual fixation patterns were measured by eye tracking.
