Mazefsky, Carla A.; Collier, Amanda; Golt, Josh; Siegle, Greg J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Emotion dysregulation is common in autism spectrum disorder; a better understanding of the underlying neural mechanisms could inform treatment development. The tendency toward repetitive cognition in autism spectrum disorder may also increase susceptibility to perseverate on distressing stimuli, which may then increase emotion dysregulation.…

Hetzroni, Orit E.; Shalahevich, Kiril – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Analogical reasoning was investigated among children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) without intellectual disabilities and typical development (TD). Children were asked to select one of two targets in two conditions: (1) with and without spatial structure similarity; (2) with and without a perceptual distractor. Results demonstrate that…

Vogan, V. M.; Morgan, B. R.; Leung, R. C.; Anagnostou, E.; Doyle-Thomas, K.; Taylor, M. J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Diffusion tensor imaging studies show white matter (WM) abnormalities in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, investigations are often limited by small samples, particularly problematic given the heterogeneity of ASD. We explored WM using DTI in a large sample of 130 children and adolescents (7-15 years) with and without ASD,…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Mundy, Peter; Kim, Kwanguk; McIntyre, Nancy; Lerro, Lindsay; Jarrold, William – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Theory suggests that information processing during joint attention may be atypical in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This hypothesis was tested in a study of school-aged children with higher functioning ASD and groups of children with symptoms of ADHD or typical development. The results indicated that the control groups displayed…
