Figure 4.
Correlation and fixation analysis confirmed the results from our computational saliency model. (A) Correlation with AQ. (B) Correlation with FSIQ. (C) No correlation with age. Black lines represent best linear fit. Red: people with ASD. Blue: control. (D) People with ASD had fewer fixations on the semantic and other objects, but more on the background. (E) People with ASD fixated at the semantic objects significantly later than the control group, but not other objects. (F) People with ASD had longer individual fixations than controls, especially for fixations on background. Error bar denotes the standard error over the group of subjects. Asterisks indicate significant difference between people with ASD and controls using unpaired t-test. *: P<0.05, **: P<0.01, and ***: P<0.001.
