Fears, Nicholas E.; Templin, Tylan N.; Sherrod, Gabriela M.; Bugnariu, Nicoleta L.; Patterson, Rita M.; Miller, Haylie L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Autistic children have differences in their movements which impact their functional performance. Virtual-reality enables researchers to study movement in safe, engaging environments. We used motion-capture to measure how 7-13-year-old autistic and neurotypical children make whole-body movements in a virtual-reality task. Although children in both…

Cox, Daniel J.; Brown, Timothy; Ross, Veerle; Moncrief, Matthew; Schmitt, Rose; Gaffney, Gary; Reeve, Ron – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Investigate how novice drivers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) differ from experienced drivers and whether virtual reality driving simulation training (VRDST) improves ASD driving performance. 51 novice ASD drivers (mean age 17.96 years, 78% male) were randomized to routine training (RT) or one of three types of VRDST (8-12 sessions). All…

Greffou, Selma; Bertone, Armando; Hahler, Eva-Maria; Hanssens, Jean-Marie; Mottron, Laurent; Faubert, Jocelyn – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2012
Although atypical motor behaviors have been associated with autism, investigations regarding their possible origins are scarce. This study assessed the visual and vestibular components involved in atypical postural reactivity in autism. Postural reactivity and stability were measured for younger (12-15 years) and older (16-33 years) autistic…
