Investigating the Face Inversion Effect in Autism Across Behavioral and Neural Measures of Face Processing: A Systematic Review and Bayesian Meta-Analysis

This systematic review and meta-analysis examines differences in the face inversion effect (reduced recognition accuracy for inverted faces) between autistic and neurotypical individuals across behavioral and neural measures. The study synthesizes evidence from multiple databases to identify mechanistic-level differences in the specialized face processing system in autism spectrum disorder.
