(A). Sample stimuli used during the mother condition of the face processing task for one subject. The target face (mother) is shown on top, followed by other faces. Note that while a total 48 face images were used in each of the 4 test conditions (mother, mother inverted, stranger adult, stranger inverted), only 16 faces are shown for illustration purposes. (B). Mean reaction time from each of the processing tasks for autism and normal groups. Error bars represent SEM. While children with an ASD were slower to identify target faces in all conditions, they were significantly slower in only the stranger adult condition.
