Abstract

Impaired facial emotion recognition in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is in contrast to their intact emotional music recognition. This study tested whether emotion congruent music enhances facial emotion recognition. Accuracy and reaction times were assessed for 19 children with ASD and 31 controls in a recognition task with angry, happy, or sad faces. Stimuli were shown with either emotionally congruent or incongruent music or no music. Although children with ASD had higher reaction times than controls, accuracy only differed when incongruent or no music was played, indicating that congruent emotional music can boost facial emotion recognition in children with ASD. Emotion congruent music may support emotion recognition in children with ASD, and thus may improve their social skills.

The ASD diagnoses were coded using DSM-IV criteria. So, the children had also been diagnosed with different subtypes of ASD, like Asperger’s syndrome. Therefore, in the results section, in addition to results on the ASD group, analyses on differences between the different subtypes are provided as additional information and indicator for future studies.

Excluding this participant from analyses did not change any results.
