“…Although decreased sensitivity to complex motion stimuli has been demonstrated in most autism studies (Spencer et al 2000;Milne et al 2002;Bertone et al 2003;Blake et al 2003;Pellicano et al 2005;Del Viva et al 2006;Spencer and O'Brien 2006;Freitag et al 2008;Tsermentseli et al 2008;Koldewyn 2009), simple luminance-defined motion mediated by standard analysis was found to be intact when assessed in autism (Bertone et al 2003). Although the study remains the only assessment, and demonstration of intact simple motion processing in autism (Kaiser and Shiffrar 2009;Simmons et al 2009), it is congruent with findings of unaffected sensitivity to spatiotemporal contrast sensitivity targeting M-pathway (magnocellular) functioning, suggesting that atypical dynamic information processing in autism has later (extra-striate), rather than early (primary) cortical origins (Bertone et al 2005;Pellicano et al 2005;Pellicano and Gibson 2008).…”

“…Instead, their viewing behavior was well explained by preferential attention to nonsocial audiovisual contingencies that were ignored by typically developing children and developmentally delayed children without autism. Moreover, disrupted perceptual sensitivity to biological motion has been documented in older children with ASD (15). Neuroimaging studies examining the neural correlates of point-light biological motion perception in adults with and without ASD have consistently implicated the posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) region as an area of dysfunction (16,17).…”

“…Clinical differences in high and low functioning individuals on the ASD spectrum, along with age and the demands of the complexity of the studies may also contribute to discrepant conclusions as proposed by Kaiser and Shiffrar (2009) [54]. In addition, individuals with ASD show an altered behavioural style of how they attend to the world [55].…”
