Abstract

Toddler Attention to Eyes Correlated with Overall Social Impairment (Jones, Carr, & Klin, 2008 ) Reduced eye‐to‐eye gaze has been a hallmark of ASD since autism was identified as a syndrome. This article represents the next step in a series of studies measuring specifically where people with ASD are looking. An interesting problem is that without extensive training, there is less than perfect concordance among raters of eye‐to‐eye gaze. It is difficult for someone viewing a video tape to rate eye gaze as accurately as the person who is directly interacting, who may be aware that the gaze to them was “off,” even though directed to their face. Over several years, advances in eye tracking instrumentation have allowed much more accurate measurement of where someone is looking, in comparison to a more global rating without such tools.
