Early prediction of autism spectrum disorders based on eye movement research

doi:10.11852/zgetbjzz2019-0273

Abstract

Abstract: Autism spectrum disorder(ASD) is generally characterized by social disorders,narrow range of interests,behavioral stereotypes and eye fixation. Abnormal eye fixation is one of the clinical manifestations of ASD and an early biomarker for children with ASD. Eye movement technology has been gradually applied in clinical and related research of ASD. The current early predictions using eye movement technology mainly focus on the gaze time of the face,the eye movement characteristics of visual search and the attention to geometric figures. It is more consistent that the fixation time of the face and eye area is short,the fixation time of the geometric figure is long,and the advantage in visual search can be used as an early predictor of ASD. This review summarizes the early prediction of ASD using eye movement technology in the past few years in order to provide reference for the early detection of ASD.

Key words: autism spectrum disorder, eye movement studies, face prediction

摘要： 孤独症谱系障碍(ASD)普遍存在社交障碍、兴趣范围狭窄,行为刻板及眼神注视等异常临床现象。眼神注视异常是ASD的临床表现之一,也是ASD患儿的早期生物标志。眼动技术逐渐被应用于ASD临床及相关研究中,当前运用眼动技术进行的早期预测主要是从对面部的注视时间、视觉搜索的眼动特点、对几何图形的关注等方面进行。且较为一致的是对面孔及眼睛区域注视时间短、对几何图形注视时间长、在视觉搜索中存在优势均可以作为ASD的早期预测指标。本研究将从以上这几个方面着手,对近几年来运用眼动技术对ASD的早期预测研究进行综述,以期为ASD的早期发现提供参考。
