Attentional Cueing

Executive functioning (EF) impairments in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) impact on complex functions, such as social cognition. We assessed this link between EF, attentional cueing, and social cognition with a novel ecological task, “EcoSupermarketX.” Our task had three blocks of increasing executive load and incorporated social and non-social cues, with different degrees of saliency. Performance of ASD and typical neurodevelopment was compared. The ASD showed a significant performance dependence on the presence of contextual cues. Difficulties increased as a function of cognitive load. Between-group differences were found both for social and non-social salient cues. Eye-tracking measures showed significantly larger fixation time of more salient social cues in ASD. In sum, EcoSupermarketX is sensitive to detect EF and attentional cueing deficits in ASD.

Abstract Psychological studies have generally shown that individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have specificity in the processing of social information by using static or abstract images. Yet, a recent study showed that there was no differ in their use of the added social or non-social cues in dynamic interactive situations. To establish the cause of the inconsistent results, we explored the processing pattern of gaze cues in individuals with ASD by using chase detection paradigm and eye-tracking methodologies. In this study, unlike typical controls, participants with ASD showed no detection advantage under the oriented condition. The results suggested that individuals with ASD may utilize an atypical processing pattern in dynamic interactive situations.
