Rosa Sahuquillo-Leal; Manuel Perea; Alba Moreno-Giménez; Ladislao Salmerón; Julia Andreu; Diana Pons; Máximo Vento; Ana García-Blanco – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2025
A core feature of Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) is the presence of difficulties in social interactions. This can be explained by an atypical attentional processing of social information: individuals with ASC may show problems with orienting attention to socially relevant stimuli and/or inhibiting their attentional responses to irrelevant ones.…

Montgomery, Lewis; Chondrogianni, Vicky; Fletcher-Watson, Sue; Rabagliati, Hugh; Sorace, Antonella; Davis, Rachael – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
One factor that may influence how executive functions develop is exposure to more than one language in childhood. This study explored the impact of bilingualism on inhibitory control in autistic (n = 38) and non-autistic children (n = 51). Bilingualism was measured on a continuum of exposure to investigate the effects of language environment on…

Ben-David, Boaz M.; Ben-Itzchak, Esther; Zukerman, Gil; Yahav, Gili; Icht, Michal – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Identifying emotions in speech is based on the interaction of lexical content and prosody. This may be disrupted in individuals with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder (HF-ASD). Undergraduates with HF-ASD (n = 20) and matched typically developed peers (n = 20) were tested using the (Hebrew) Test for Rating of Emotions in Speech.…

Hampton, Lauren H.; Kaiser, Ann P.; Nietfeld, Jennifer P.; Khachoyan, Ani – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
JASP-EMT, the combined Enhanced Milieu Teaching (EMT) and Joint Attention, Structured Play, and Emotion Regulation (JASPER) interventions, has been found to be effective for promoting social communication in young children with autism (Kasari et al. in J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry 53(6):635-646, 2014). The current study examined the effects…

van Rijn, Sophie; de Sonneville, Leo; Lahuis, Bertine; Pieterse, Jolijn; van Engeland, Herman; Swaab, Hanna – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2013
A proportion of children within the autism spectrum is at risk for severe deregulation of thought, emotion and behaviour resulting in (symptoms of) psychotic disorders over the course of development. In an attempt to identify this subgroup, children with PDD-NOS, subtype MCDD (n = 24) were compared to children with PDD-NOS (n = 23) on executive…

This report examined the effect of methylphenidate on social communication and self-regulation in children with pervasive developmental disorders and hyperactivity in a secondary analysis of RUPP Autism Network data. Participants were 33 children (29 boys) between the ages of 5 and 13 years who participated in a four-week crossover trial of…

Bieberich, Andrea A.; Morgan, Sam B. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2004
Our study examined stability of self-regulation and affective expression in children with autism or Down syndrome over a 2 year period. A behaviorally anchored rating scale was used to assess a self-regulation factor (attention, adaptability, object orientation, and persistence), negative affect factor (hostility, irritability, and compliance),…
