Foglia, Victoria; Siddiqui, Hasan; Khan, Zainab; Liang, Stephanie; Rutherford, M. D. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
If neurotypical people rely on specialized perceptual mechanisms when perceiving biological motion, then one would not expect an association between task performance and IQ. However, if those with ASD recruit higher order cognitive skills when solving biological motion tasks, performance may be predicted by IQ. In a meta-analysis that included 19…

Van der Hallen, Ruth; Manning, Catherine; Evers, Kris; Wagemans, Johan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Visual perception in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is often debated in terms of enhanced local and impaired global perception. Deficits in global motion perception seem to support this characterization, although the evidence is inconsistent. We conducted a large meta-analysis on global motion, combining 48 articles on biological…

Mastergeorge, Ann M.; Kahathuduwa, Chanaka; Blume, Jessica – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Eye-tracking represents a sensitive, direct measure of gaze allocation and goal-directed looking behaviors that correspond to visual information processing. Clear definitions and standardization of research protocols to document the utility and feasibility of these methods are warranted. This systematic review provides an account of stimuli…

Zhang, Juan; Meng, Yaxuan; He, Jinbo; Xiang, Yutao; Wu, Chenggang; Wang, Shibin; Yuan, Zhen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
By synthesizing existing behavioural studies through a meta-analytic approach, the current study compared the performances of Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing groups in audiovisual speech integration and investigated potential moderators that might contribute to the heterogeneity of the existing findings. In total, nine…

Kaldy, Zsuzsa; Giserman, Ivy; Carter, Alice S.; Blaser, Erik – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
A number of studies have demonstrated that individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are faster or more successful than typically developing control participants at various visual-attentional tasks (for reviews, see Dakin and Frith in "Neuron" 48:497-507, 2005; Simmons et al. in "Vis Res" 49:2705-2739, 2009). This…

Lim, Yi Huey; Partridge, Katie; Girdler, Sonya; Morris, Susan L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Impairments in postural control affect the development of motor and social skills in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This review compared the effect of different sensory conditions on static standing postural control between ASD and neurotypical individuals. Results from 19 studies indicated a large difference in postural control…

Jeste, Shafali S.; Nelson, Charles A., III – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2009
In this paper we critically review the literature on the use of event related potentials (ERPs) to elucidate the neural sources of the core deficits in autism. We review auditory and visual ERP studies, and then review the use of ERPs in the investigation of executive function. We conclude that, in autism, impairments likely exist in both low and…
