Abstract: Altered nonverbal communication patterns especially with regard to gaze interactions are commonlyreported for persons with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this study we investigate anddifferentiate for the first time the interplay of attention allocation, the establishment of shared focus(eye contact and joint attention) and the recognition of intentions in gaze interactions in adults withASD compared to control persons. Participants interacted via gaze with a virtual character (VC), whothey believed was controlled by another person. Participants were instructed to ascertain whethertheir partner was trying to interact with them. In fact, the VC was fully algorithm-controlled andshowed either interactive or non-interactive gaze behavior. Participants with ASD were specificallyimpaired in ascertaining whether their partner was trying to interact with them or not as comparedto participants without ASD whereas neither the allocation of attention nor the ability to establish ashared focus were affected. Thus, perception and production of gaze cues seem preserved while theevaluation of gaze cues appeared to be impaired. An additional exploratory analysis suggests thatespecially the interpretation of contingencies between the interactants’ actions are altered in ASD andshould be investigated more closely.
