본 연구에서는 자폐 스펙트럼 장애 집단을 대상으로 인종에 따른 표정 잔여효과를 탐색함으로써, 규준 기반 코딩의 결함과 얼굴 지각 경험의 관련성을 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 첫째, 정상발달 성인 집단을 대상으로 인종-수반 표정 잔여효과가 나타나는지 확인하여 순응 패러다임을 검증하고, 둘째, 자폐 스펙트럼 장애를 가진 아동․청소년 집단과 지능, 연령을 매칭한 정상발달 아동․청소년 집단을 대상으로 집단 간 인종-수반 표정 잔여효과 패턴을 비교하였다. 연구 I에서는 종합대학교에 재학 중인 대학생 48명을 대상으로 아시아인과 백인 두 조건으로 구성된 표정 순응 과제를 실시하였다. 참가자들은 각 인종 조건에 대해 반대 표정 자극에 순응한 후 중립 표정 자극에 대해 어떤 표정으로 보이는지 응답하였다. 연구 II에서는 만 9세에서 16세의 자폐 스펙트럼 장애 아동 및 청소년 16명과 성별, 연령 및 지능을 매칭한 정상발달 아동 및 청소년 16명을 대상으로 표정 순응 과제를 실시하였다. 결과, 연구 I에서는 국내 정상발달 성인 집단에서 동인종 잔여효과가 타인종 잔여효과에 비해 더욱 크게 나타났으며, 인종-수반 잔여효과와 사회적 기술 간 유의한 정적 상관이 보고되었다. 연구 II의 결과, 아동 및 청소년 연령대의 자폐 스펙트럼 장애 집단과 정상발달 집단 간 인종-수반 잔여효과 패턴에 차이가 나타나지 않았으며, 두 집단 모두 인종 간 잔여효과의 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 그러나 자폐 스펙트럼 장애 집단은 정상발달 집단에 비해 인종 조건에 상관없이 전반적으로 작은 표정 잔여효과를 보였다. 본 연구 결과는 자폐 스펙트럼 장애 집단에서 규준 기반 코딩의 상대적 어려움이 존재함을 보여주나, 지각 경험과 규준 기반 코딩의 관련성에 대해서는 성인 집단을 대상으로 추가적인 조사가 필요함을 시사한다.
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between norm-based coding and visual experience by examining race-contingent facial expression aftereffect in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study I investigated whether the race-contingent expression aftereffect takes place in 48 typically developing (TD) adults. The study II compared the performance of 16 high functioning children with ASD and 16 matched (aged and IQ) TD children. All participants were asked to judge the expression of the neutral face after adapting to the anti-expression face in both Asian and Caucasian conditions. In the study I, TD adults showed significantly larger aftereffect in same-race condition than other-race condition. In the study II, no significant interaction was found between groups and race conditions. However, ASD children showed significantly larger aftereffect than TD children regardless of race conditions. The implication and the limitation of the study is further discussed.
