Autism Research Group

The Autism Research Group includes faculty, research faculty and students in the Department of Psychology at The Catholic University of America. Our focus is the reciprocal social deficits of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
 
Recent and current projects include an investigation of face gaze during a face and object recognition task, by individuals with high-functioning ASD; an intervention to induce preschoolers with ASD to attend to faces and extract information from nonverbal communication; an experimental environment in which to examine social navigation; a simulation to improve social conversational skills of high-functioning adults; and a feasibility study of using machine-scorable information on location, orientation and movement to characterize and assess social interaction of young children.
 
Recent work has been funded by the National Science Foundation, and work in progress is supported in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIMH) and the Cure Autism Now (CAN) Foundation.
