Chua, Yu Wei; Lu, Szu-Ching; Anzulewicz, Anna; Sobota, Krzystof; Tachtatzis, Christos; Andonovic, Ivan; Rowe, Philip; Delafield-Butt, Jonathan – Developmental Science, 2022
Movement is prospective. It structures self-generated engagement with objects and social partners and is fundamental to children's learning and development. In autistic children, previous reports of differences in movement kinematics compared to neurotypical peers suggest that its prospective organisation might be disrupted. Here, we employed a…

Foster, Nathan C.; Bennett, Simon J.; Causer, Joe; Elliott, Digby; Bird, Geoffrey; Hayes, Spencer J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
The reduced efficacy of voluntary imitation in autism is suggested to be underpinned by differences in sensorimotor processing. We examined whether the imitation of novel atypical biological kinematics by autistic adults is enhanced by imitating a model in a predictable blocked practice trial order. This practice structure is expected to…

Neely, Kristina A.; Mohanty, Suman; Schmitt, Lauren M.; Wang, Zheng; Sweeney, John A.; Mosconi, Matthew W. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Sensorimotor abnormalities are common in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); however, the processes underlying these deficits remain unclear. This study examined force production with and without visual feedback to determine if individuals with ASD can utilize internal representations to guide sustained force. Individuals with ASD…

Benson, Jeryl D.; Donoso Brown, Elena V.; Blough, Ashley; Smitsky, Deborah – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2020
This quasi-experimental study explored the effects of sensorimotor strategies on improving attention and in-seat behavior of preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Using a single subject, B-A-B-A design with a sensorimotor phase (B) and non-sensorimotor phase (A), duration of attention and in-seat behavior were recorded and analyzed…

Moradi, Hadi; Sohrabi, Mehdi; Taheri, Hamidreza; Khodashenas, Ezzat; Movahedi, Ahmadreza – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the combined effects of perceptual-motor exercises and vitamin D[subscript 3] supplementation on the reduction of stereotypical behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods: In this study, 100 eligible children with age ranging from 6 to 9 years were randomly selected and…

Mikajlo, Ibolya – Australian Journal of Music Education, 2020
South Australian, Lyndall Hendrickson AM (1917-2017) led a lifetime of achievements as a prodigy, concert violinist, polio survivor, violin instructor and teacher of language and music to non-verbal autistic students. Her career halted when she contracted poliomyelitis at the age of 34. To regain motor skill, Hendrickson researched theories of…

Sawaya, Helen; McGonigle-Chalmers, Maggie; Kusel, Iain – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2021
Objectives: The aim of the study is to distinguish between perceptuomotor and cognitive inflexibility as the source of set-switching difficulties in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods: Seventeen adolescents with ASD and 17 neurotypical controls were presented with a computerized sequencing game using colored shapes. The sequence…

Conson, Massimiliano; Hamilton, Antonia; De Bellis, Francesco; Errico, Domenico; Improta, Ilaria; Mazzarella, Elisabetta; Trojano, Luigi; Frolli, Alessandro – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Developmental data suggested that mental simulation skills become progressively dissociated from overt motor activity across development. Thus, efficient simulation is rather independent from current sensorimotor information. Here, we tested the impact of bodily (sensorimotor) information on simulation skills of adolescents with Autism Spectrum…

Zalla, Tiziana; Seassau, Magali; Cazalis, Fabienne; Gras, Doriane; Leboyer, Marion – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2018
In this study, we examined the accuracy and dynamics of visually guided saccades in 20 adults with autism spectrum disorder, as compared to 20 typically developed adults using the Step/Overlap/Gap paradigms. Performances in participants with autistic spectrum disorder were characterized by preserved Gap/Overlap effect, but reduced gain and peak…

Elwin, Marie; Schröder, Agneta; Ek, Lena; Wallsten, Tuula; Kjellin, Lars – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
We identified clusters of atypical sensory functioning adults with ASC by hierarchical cluster analysis. A new scale for commonly self-reported sensory reactivity was used as a measure. In a low frequency group (n = 37), all subscale scores were relatively low, in particular atypical sensory/motor reactivity. In the intermediate group (n = 17)…
