Early autism diagnosis - shaping the future with eye tracking
Prof. Dr. Karen Pierce describes her breakthrough findings enabling early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder with the help of eye tracking technology.
Eye tracking enhances the developmental study of infants, as well as children with short attention spans and limited instruction comprehension. The technology provides insights into the behavioral and cognitive processes long before speaking begins.
Eye tracking can aid in early screening and identification of developmental conditions, such as autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Differences in attentional processes and eye gaze patterns during social interaction can indicate developmental challenges, which can be assessed with eye tracking.
Discover how Tobii eye trackers are used in the study of autism.
Researchers employ eye tracking to investigate the gaze patterns of infants and children when exposed to different linguistic stimuli, including spoken words or visual scenes. The technology provides valuable insights into the cognitive processes associated with language acquisition, including visual attention, word recognition, and syntax comprehension.

Social cognition and interaction
Social cognition and interaction
Eye tracking provides a means to study the emergence and progression of social cognition and interaction skills. Through eye tracking experiments, researchers can learn about infant attention to social stimuli, face processing, and social learning abilities. It helps researchers uncover critical developmental milestones and understand typical and atypical social development.

Eye tracking reveals insight into infants social information processing skills
In this presentation, Dr. Sheila Krogh-Jespersen presents evidence showing the development of social competence as revealed from the combination of eye-tracking and behavioral studies.
Eye tracking explains development of infants’ abilities
Eye tracking is used in developmental psychology to explain infants' growth and transformation in cognitive, social and emotional abilities.
Three scientific studies shed new light on early learning processes
Researchers use attention computing to reveal the impact on how kids learn of: attention bias to faces, individual preferences, and social interaction.
