Greene, Rachel K.; Parish-Morris, Julia; Sullivan, Miranda; Kinard, Jessica L.; Mosner, Maya G.; Turner-Brown, Lauren M.; Penn, David L.; Wiesen, Christopher A.; Pallathra, Ashley A.; Brodkin, Edward S.; Schultz, Robert T.; Dichter, Gabriel S. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
To evaluate an eye tracking task as a predictor and outcome measure of treatment response for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) social skills interventions, adolescents and young adults with ASD completed the eye tracking task before, immediately after, and two months after completing Social Cognition and Interaction Training for Autism (SCIT-A). The…

Predictors of Expressive Language Change for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Receiving AAC-Infused Comprehensive Intervention
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rose, Veronica; Paynter, Jessica; Vivanti, Giacomo; Keen, Deb; Trembath, David – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Comprehensive interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often incorporate augmentative and alternative communication (AAC); however, variability in outcomes exists even among children who access similar intervention. This study investigated predictors of expressive language change for 48 children with ASD aged 31 to 67 months…

Attention Modification to Attenuate Facial Emotion Recognition Deficits in Children with Autism: A Pilot Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wieckowski, Andrea Trubanova; White, Susan W. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Diminished attending to faces may contribute to the impairments in emotion recognition and expression in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The current study evaluated the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of an attention modification intervention designed to attenuate deficits in facial emotion recognition (FER). During the…

Cognitive and Adaptive Skills in Toddlers Who Meet Criteria for Autism in DSM-IV but Not DSM-5
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jashar, Dasal Tenzin; Brennan, Laura A.; Barton, Marianne L.; Fein, Deborah – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
The current study compared adaptive and cognitive skills, and autism severity of toddlers with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis under DSM-IV but not DSM-5 criteria (DSM-IV only group) to those who met autism criteria under both diagnostic systems (DSM-5 group) and to those without ASD (non-ASD group). The toddlers in the DSM-IV only…

Enhanced Access to Early Visual Processing of Perceptual Simultaneity in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Falter, Christine M.; Braeutigam, Sven; Nathan, Roger; Carrington, Sarah; Bailey, Anthony J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2013
We compared judgements of the simultaneity or asynchrony of visual stimuli in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and typically-developing controls using Magnetoencephalography (MEG). Two vertical bars were presented simultaneously or non-simultaneously with two different stimulus onset delays. Participants with ASD distinguished…

Teaching Social-Communication Skills to Preschoolers with Autism: Efficacy of Video versus in Vivo Modeling in the Classroom
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wilson, Kaitlyn P. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2013
Video modeling is a time- and cost-efficient intervention that has been proven effective for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); however, the comparative efficacy of this intervention has not been examined in the classroom setting. The present study examines the relative efficacy of video modeling as compared to the more widely-used…

Event Related Potentials in the Understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorders: An Analytical Review
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jeste, Shafali S.; Nelson, Charles A., III – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2009
In this paper we critically review the literature on the use of event related potentials (ERPs) to elucidate the neural sources of the core deficits in autism. We review auditory and visual ERP studies, and then review the use of ERPs in the investigation of executive function. We conclude that, in autism, impairments likely exist in both low and…
