ERP responses differentiate inverted but not upright face processing in adults with ASDSara Jane Webb
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA
Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci 7:578-87. 2012..It is possible that the use of attention cues may facilitate face processing in high-functioning adults with ASD, suggesting that the underlying neural circuitry can be activated in adults with ASD under specific demands...

Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA
Child Neuropsychol 16:255-78. 2010..We conclude that slower rates of face learning may be an endophenotype of ASD and is associated with more severe symptoms among affected individuals... 
A longitudinal investigation of visual event-related potentials in the first year of lifeSara J Webb
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Washington, USA
Dev Sci 8:605-16. 2005..These results have implications for future studies that involve the recording of the visual ERP, and point to the advantages of growth curve modeling in examining longitudinal data to account for non-linear development...- Response to familiar faces, newly familiar faces, and novel faces as assessed by ERPs is intact in adults with autism spectrum disordersSara J Webb
University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Seattle, WA, USA
