Abstract

This study investigated whether increased face identity discrimination after the adaptation with an average face is shown to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), who are known to have deficits of face recognition. Children with ASD (n=10) and age/IQ-matched children with typical development (TD) (n=10) participated in this study. After the practice, all participants were asked to distinguish three female faces as pre-identification task. Then, they were asked to see an average faces for the adaptation. After adaptation for five minutes, participants were asked to complete an identification task again. The results showed that the improvement in face discrimination was not found in children with ASD, whereas significant improvement was observed in children with TD. In addition, the increase of face discrimination in children with TD was significantly higher than those of ASD. Last, children with TD only showed the increased sensitivity of face discrimination in mid-point intensity. These findings suggest that children with ASD have difficulty in face norm recalibration. The limitations of this study as well as the directions for future study are discussed.
