In this poster, we investigate attentional behavior in youths with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) using the wearable eye-tracker Tobii Pro Glasses 3. The experiment involved 38 participants, 19 with ASD and 19 with typical development, who described both social and non-social images while their eye movements were recorded. Results revealed that participants with ASD accepted the device, demonstrating its feasibility for future use. Compared to the control group, individuals with ASD showed reduced focus on social images. These findings highlight potential differences in attentional behavior and suggest that wearable eye-trackers can be valuable tools for studying real-world social attention in ASD.

Abstract
In this poster, we investigate attentional behavior in youths with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) using the wearable eye-tracker Tobii Pro Glasses 3. The experiment involved 38 participants, 19 with ASD and 19 with typical development, who described both social and non-social images while their eye movements were recorded. Results revealed that participants with ASD accepted the device, demonstrating its feasibility for future use. Compared to the control group, individuals with ASD showed reduced focus on social images. These findings highlight potential differences in attentional behavior and suggest that wearable eye-trackers can be valuable tools for studying real-world social attention in ASD.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
