Enhanced use of gaze cue in a face-following task after brief trial experience in individuals with autism spectrum disorder

Abstract Eye movements toward sequentially presented face images with or without gaze cues were recorded to investigate whether those with ASD, in comparison to their typically developing (TD) peers, could prospectively perform the task according to gaze cues. Line-drawn face images were sequentiall...
