Abstract

Few behavioral indices of risk for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are present before 12 months, and potential biomarkers remain largely unexamined. This prospective study of infant siblings of children with ASD (n = 16) and low-risk comparison infants (n = 15) examined group differences in event-related potentials (ERPs) indexing processing of facial positive affect (N290/P400, Nc) at 9 months and their relation to joint attention at 15 months. Group differences were most pronounced for subtle facial expressions, in that the low-risk group exhibited relatively longer processing (P400 latency) and greater attention resource allocation (Nc amplitude). Exploratory analyses found associations between ERP responses and later joint attention, suggesting that attention to positive affect cues may support the development of other social competencies.

Consistency in the recruitment procedures and inclusion/exclusion criteria as well as in data acquisition procedures was ensured by joint in-person training on all study procedures for the research staff at the three sites. Standardized behavioral assessments at each site were administered by trained clinical psychologists, ensuring strict adherence to the established procedural guidelines. All EEG data were processed and analyzed by the single lab, ensuring consistency in artifact detection procedures.
