Ashley R. Brien; Tiffany L. Hutchins – Topics in Language Disorders, 2024
Autobiographical memory (ABM) and social cognition are mutually constituted, and both are affected in autism.

The goals of this qualitative study were to…

Alyssa Di Marco; Roohit Grewal; Taylor Colangeli; Anna Rupert – Topics in Language Disorders, 2025
Background: Research tells us that autistic children are more likely than their neurotypical peers to experience potentially traumatic events.

Consequently,…

Ashley R. Brien; Tiffany L. Hutchins – Topics in Language Disorders, 2024
Autobiographical memory (ABM) is memory for past personal experiences and is foundational to the development of many cognitive processes. As such, ABM and social learning are developmentally intertwined and functionally dependent, and impairments in each are well-documented in autism. Evidence suggests that elaborative reminiscing (ER) causally…

Hindman, Annemarie H.; Farrow, JeanMarie; Wasik, Barbara A. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2022
Back-and-forth conversations with adults are critical for developing children's language, and, therefore, an important part of the early childhood classroom learning environment; however, the specific nature of teacher feedback, one component of teacher-child conversations, on child language has not been widely studied. This article examined…

The current study aimed to evaluate whether novel word recognition, a critical skill for language development, differentiated children who stutter from children who do not stutter. Twenty children who stutter and 18 children who do not stutter, aged 3-8…
