contents Investigating implicit emotion processing in autism spectrum disorder across age groups: A cross‐modal emotional priming study Florence Y. N. Leung Vesna Stojanovik Cunmei Jiang Fang Liu Autism Research AbstractCumulating evidence suggests that atypical emotion processing in autism may generalize across different stimulus domains. However, this evidence comes from studies examining explicit emotion recognition. It remains unclear whether domain‐general atypicality also applies to implicit emotion processing in autism and its implication for real‐world social communication. To investigate this, we employed a novel cross‐modal emotional priming task to assess implicit emotion processing of spoken/sung words (primes) through their influence on subsequent emotional judgment of faces/face‐like objects (targets). We assessed whether implicit emotional priming differed between 38 autistic and 38 neurotypical individuals across age groups as a function of prime and target type. Results indicated no overall group differences across age groups, prime types, and target types. However, differential, domain‐specific developmental patterns emerged for the autism and neurotypical groups. For neurotypical individuals, speech but not song primed the emotional judgment of faces across ages. This speech‐orienting tendency was not observed across ages in the autism group, as priming of speech on faces was not seen in autistic adults. These results outline the importance of the delicate weighting between speech‐ versus song‐orientation in implicit emotion processing throughout development, providing more nuanced insights into the emotion processing profile of autistic individuals. 10.1002/aur.3124 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
