| Research Abstract |
We attempted to develop a new method of early detection of pervasive developmental disorder based on visual scanning behavior. We examined visual scanning patterns of both typical developing (TD) children and those with pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) during their mother read a picture book aloud. All the TD children fixated far more extensively on the faces than other areas. However, more than half of the PDD children paid less attention to the faces. Rather they paid attention to wider regions including feet and bodies. Such an unbiased scanning pattern is probably one of the behavioral features of children with autistic disorder . Analyzing visual scanning patterns on the picture book may help us to detect Autism spectrum disorder in early childhood.
