Détection visuelle et compétences de décodage de la photographie aérienne par des adultes avec uin diagnostic de "troubles du spectre de l'autisme" (dTSA)

 Aperçu: G.M.

Malgré les défis dans les compétences de communication sociale, les personnes avec un dTSA affichent souvent des forces dans le traitement visuel.
L'analyse de la photographie aérienne est une profession qui repose sur de solides compétences en traitement visuel qui correspondent à ce profil unique.
Nous avons étudié la vision de base et les tâches visuelles «réelles» chez 20 jeunes adultes avec un dTSA et 20 «jeunes» avec un développment typique (TD). Les tests de vision de base comprenaient la recherche visuelle, les figures incorporées et la vigilance; Les tests «vie réelle» comprenaient la détection et l'identification de photographies aériennes. 

Les groupes se sont aussi bien comportés et ne différaient pas de manière significative sur aucune tâche. L'étude démontre de solides compétences visuelles chez les personnes avec un dTSA dans des contextes de base et de la «vie réelle», et soutient l'idée qu'elles peuvent être bien adaptés à l'emploi dans des professions qui exigent des compétences de perception visuelle élevées telles que l'analyse de la photographie aérienne.

Abstract

Despite challenges in social communication skills people with ASD often display strengths in visual processing. Aerial photography analysis is an occupation reliant on strong visual processing skills that matches this unique profile. We investigated basic-vision and "real-life" visual tasks in 20 cognitively-able young adults with ASD and 20 typically-developed (TD) "gamers". Basic-vision tests included Visual-Search, Embedded-Figures, and Vigilance; "real-life" tests included aerial-photograph detection and identification. Groups performed equally well, and did not differ significantly on any tasks. The study demonstrates strong visual skills in people with ASD in basic and "real-life" settings, and supports the idea that they may be well suited for employment in occupations that demand high visual perception skills such as aerial photography analysis.
