Attention allocation in ASD vs. TD children viewing social/non-social interactions by adult/child models, and the dynamics of social attention.
Participants: ASD group: 30 children; TD group: 29 children; age- and sex-matched.
Apparatus: Non-invasive eye tracker (Tobii Pro Spectrum). Stimuli: Eight 60-second videos (4 with child models, 4 with adult models). Questionnaires/Assessments: SRS, AQ, SCQ, ADOS-2, PPVT. Experimental design: A 2 (group: TD, ASD) × 2 (model type: adult, child) × 2 (context: interactive, non-interactive) × 2 (phase: baseline, test) mixed design.
Task: Free viewing of eight videos presented in random order.

In this experiment, 47 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were recruited from an autism rehabilitation institution in Chengdu, and 37 typically developing (TD) children were recruited from a kindergarten in Shehong City. All ASD participants were clinically diagnosed with ASD by hospital physicians according to the DSM-5 criteria. Each participant underwent SRS,AQ,and SCQ tests.
- For ASD group: confirmed clinical diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder(DSM-5/ADOS-2) For TD group：TD children without any developmental or neurological disorders Both groups：Normal or corrected-to-normal vision，no color vision deficiencies，and legal guardian provided written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- TD group: meet the study's group-specific screening cutoffs on SRS, SCQ or AQ ASD group：Failure to meet the study's group-specific screening cutoffs on ADOS-2 Both groups：Known genetic syndromes，significant hearing loss or uncorrectable visual impairment
Proportion of total fixation duration on human faces, context, activity areas
Proportion of total fiaxtion duration on human faces, context, activity areas was calculated as (total fixation duration on AOIs/ total fixation duration on the screen).
Time frame: During the full 8 minutes video presentation
Number of saccades on human faces, context, activity areas
The number of saccades on human faces, context, activity areas occurring during an interval.
Time frame: During the full 8 minutes video presentation
Social Prioritization Score on human faces, context, activity areas
The difference in the proportion of fixation time between social and non-social interaction information.
Time frame: During the full 8 minutes video presentation
