Sample: A total of 46 men & 30 women were divided into 3 groups:
All participants in group 1 (Asperger syndrome) & group 3 (Tourette syndrome) had been tested & found to be able to able to pass first & second order false belief tasks. This means that any failure on the Eyes task could be attributed to problems with mind reading problems beyond that of a 6 year old.
To check whether deficits on the Eyes Task were due to other factors, the researchers administered two control tasks to the participants in Group 1 (Asperger syndrome).
-The gender recognition task & the basic emotion recognition task.
The gender recognition task involved looking at the same eyes in the experimental task, but this time identifying the gender of the person in the photograph.
The basic emotion recognition task involved judging photographs of whole faces displaying basic emotions (happy, sad, angry, afraid, disgusted & surprised).
Results: Adults with Asperger syndrome did have more difficulties with the Eyes Task than both normal adults & adults with Tourette syndrome.
Condition: Mean scores on Eye Task:
Group 1- 16.3
Group 2- 20.3
Group 3- 20.4
Normal adult men had more difficulties in the Eyes Task than normal adult women.
Condition: Mean scores on Eye Task:
Normal men 18.8
Normal women 21.8
