Zusammenfassung:	In this study, the looking behavior of 16 autistic and 14 non-autistic children toward cartoon-like scenes that included a human figure was measured quantitatively using an infrared eye-tracking device. Fixation behavior of autistic children was similar to that of their age-and IQ-matched normal peers. Results do not support the idea that autistic children have a specific problem in processing socially loaded visual stimuli. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
