Expression Intensity Modulates Social Intention Understanding in ASD Children

Sponsor: University of Electronic Science and Technology of China

Summary

Children watch videos of a single model playing with toys, judge whether the model desires a new toy based on observing the model's varying expression intensities, and form a judgment on whether the model intends to obtain a new toy or not. During this process, children's eye-tracking data are recorded, and changes in blood oxygen levels in the cerebral cortex are captured via functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) equipment. This study discusses children's social attention and the corresponding neural mechanisms during the intention understanding process.
