Abstract
The present study used the Dot-Probe paradigm
to explore attentional allocation to faces compared with
non-social images in high-functioning individuals with
autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing
controls. There was no evidence of attentional bias in either
group when stimuli were presented at individually calculated
sub-threshold levels. However, at supra-threshold
presentation (200 ms), a face bias was found for control
participants but not for those with ASD. These results add
to evidence of reduced social interest in ASD, relative to
controls, and further demonstrate when atypical social
processing arises in the attentional time course.
