Ya-Chih Chang; Stephanie Shire; Wendy Shih; Connie Kasari – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Play is critical in the development of cognitive and language skills in young children with autism; however, few studies have examined the impact of the intervention on the development of play skills. The current study aims to address the change in developmental skills, including play after participation in the JASPER intervention, and to examine…

Uchong Lao; Yan Li; Wuxia Bai; Yu Wang; Yongmei Li; Yixiang Xie; Xiaoqian Huang; Huilin Zhu; Xiaobing Zou – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Purpose: The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) is a group-based social skills training program for adolescents on the autism spectrum. Although the program has been shown to be effective in improving social skills in autistic adolescents, evidence of its effectiveness from the Mandarin-speaking Chinese…

Baldimtsi, Eleni; Nicolopoulou, Ageliki; Tsimpli, Ianthi Maria – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Substantial research indicates that individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have difficulties with Theory of Mind (ToM) abilities, but rarely have studies used a comprehensive battery to measure both the cognitive and affective aspects of ToM. The present study tested this ability in 24 Greek-speaking children with ASD (ages 7-14), and…

Sarika Kewalramani; Kelly-Ann Allen; Erin Leif; Andrea Ng – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
This scoping review synthesises the current research into robotics technologies for promoting social-emotional learning in children with autism spectrum disorder. It examines the types of robotics technologies employed, their applications, and the gaps in the existing literature. Our scoping review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for…

Zapparrata, Nicole M.; Brooks, Patricia J.; Ober, Teresa M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition affecting information processing across domains. The current meta-analysis investigated whether slower processing speed is associated with the ASD neurocognitive profile and whether findings hold across different time-based tasks and stimuli (social vs. nonsocial; linguistic…

Green, Heather L.; Shen, Guannan; Franzen, Rose E.; Mcnamee, Marybeth; Berman, Jeffrey I.; Mowad, Theresa G.; Ku, Matthew; Bloy, Luke; Liu, Song; Chen, Yu-Han; Airey, Megan; McBride, Emma; Goldin, Sophia; Dipiero, Marissa A.; Blaskey, Lisa; Kuschner, Emily S.; Kim, Mina; Konka, Kimberly; Roberts, Timothy P. L.; Edgar, J. Christopher – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Maturation of auditory cortex neural encoding processes was assessed in children with typical development (TD) and autism. Children 6-9 years old were enrolled at Time 1 (T1), with follow-up data obtained ~ 18 months later at Time 2 (T2), and ~ 36 months later at Time 3 (T3). Findings suggested an initial period of rapid auditory cortex maturation…

Nyström, Pär; Jones, Emily; Darki, Fahimeh; Bölte, Sven; Falck-Ytter, Terje – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Research indicates that individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are superior at local processing while the integration of local features to global percepts is reduced. Here, we compared infants at familiar risk for ASD to typically developing infants in terms of global coherence processing at 5 months of age, using steady state visually…

Kimhi, Yael; Shoam-Kugelmas, Dana; Agam Ben-Artzi, Galit; Ben-Moshe, Inbal; Bauminger-Zviely, Nirit – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulties in theory of mind (ToM) and executive function (EF), which may be linked because one domain (EF) affects the other (ToM). Group differences (ASD vs. typical development) were examined in both cognitive domains, as well as EF's associations and regressions with ToM. Participants…

Manning, Catherine; Charman, Tony; Pellicano, Elizabeth – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
Contrasting reports of "reduced" and "intact" sensitivity to coherent motion in autistic individuals may be attributable to stimulus parameters. Here, we investigated whether dot lifetime contributes to elevated thresholds in children with autism. We presented a standard motion coherence task to 31 children with autism and 31…

Lim, Yi Huey; Partridge, Katie; Girdler, Sonya; Morris, Susan L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Impairments in postural control affect the development of motor and social skills in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This review compared the effect of different sensory conditions on static standing postural control between ASD and neurotypical individuals. Results from 19 studies indicated a large difference in postural control…

Schuwerk, Tobias; Sodian, Beate; Paulus, Markus – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Recent research suggests that impaired action prediction is at the core of social interaction deficits in autism spectrum condition (ASC). Here, we targeted two cognitive mechanisms that are thought to underlie the prediction of others' actions: statistical learning and efficiency considerations. We measured proactive eye movements of 10-year-old…

Baurain, Celine; Nader-Grosbois, Nathalie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2013
This study has examined the link between social information processing (SIP) and socio-emotional regulation (SER) in 45 children with intellectual disability (ID) and 45 typically developing (TD) children, matched on their developmental age. A Coding Grid of SER, focusing on Emotional Expression, Social Behaviour and Behaviours towards Social…

Marini, A.; Ferretti, F.; Chiera, A.; Magni, R.; Adornetti, I.; Nicchiarelli, S.; Vicari, S.; Valeri, G. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
This brief report is a partial replication of the study by Jackson and Atance ("J Dev Disabil" 14:40-45, 2008) assessing nonverbal Self-based and Mechanical-based future thinking (FT) in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In a first step, these tasks were administered to 30 children with ASD. The two Self-based tasks were then…

Waite, Jane; Beck, Sarah R.; Heald, Mary; Powis, Laurie; Oliver, Chris – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Working memory (WM) impairments might amplify behavioural difference in genetic syndromes. Murine models of Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) evidence memory impairments but there is limited research on memory in RTS. Individuals with RTS and typically developing children completed WM tasks, with participants with RTS completing an IQ assessment and…

Brandwein, Alice B.; Foxe, John J.; Butler, John S.; Frey, Hans-Peter; Bates, Juliana C.; Shulman, Lisa H.; Molholm, Sophie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
Atypical processing and integration of sensory inputs are hypothesized to play a role in unusual sensory reactions and social-cognitive deficits in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Reports on the relationship between objective metrics of sensory processing and clinical symptoms, however, are surprisingly sparse. Here we examined the relationship…
