Neural and gaze pattern responses to happy faces in autism: Predictors of adaptive difficulties and re-evaluation of the social motivation hypothesis.

The pattern observed was consistent with the above findings.The ANOVA analysis of mean PD revealed a marginally significant main effect that the PD in ASD group was larger than TD group (F 1,40 = 3.426, p = 0.072, η p 2 = 0.079), and a significant interaction (F 1,40 = 10.507, p = 0.002, η p 2 = 0.208), with post hoc tests showing that PD was larger in the ASD than TD group in the CF condition (t 42 = 3.046, p = 0.009, d = 0.941) but not in the EF condition (t 42 = 0.854, p = 0.444, d = 0.264), and the PD was larger when viewing CF condition than EF condition in ASD group (t 20 = 5.606, p < 0.001, d = 1.223) but not in TD group (t 22 = 0.719, p = 0.476, d = 0.150) (see Figure S4).
