Novel object recognition in autism spectrum disorder research

From 2021 to 2025, 53 animal research papers on autism spectrum disorder mentioned novel object recognition in their title or abstract.

There were 8 such papers in 2011 to 2015. We compare the two periods only when each has 10 or more papers.

53 papers on autism spectrum disorder from 2021 to 2025 mentioned novel object recognition

Which papers count

A paper counts here when it is animal research, mentions novel object recognition in its title or abstract, and studies autism spectrum disorder.

We tell whether a paper studies autism spectrum disorder from its MeSH terms, the subject headings the National Library of Medicine adds when it indexes a paper. For a paper without MeSH terms, PubTator 3, NCBI's text-mining service, has to find the disease in the title or abstract. A paper can count under more than one disease model. A paper that mentions the test only in its methods is missed, so the count runs low.

The page on autism spectrum disorder research names the subject headings we count as autism spectrum disorder. Download the test list for the search terms we used for novel object recognition, or the paper list for the PubMed ID of every paper behind these counts. Our main page, Behavioral tests in published research, has the full method and each source's terms of use.

More tests and disease models

Every pairing of a disease model and a test with 30 or more papers from 2021 to 2025 has a page like this one.

The page on novel object recognition counts all the papers that mention it, whatever they study. The page on autism spectrum disorder research ranks the tests by their papers on autism spectrum disorder.
