Zhao, Zhong; Zhu, Zhipeng; Zhang, Xiaobin; Tang, Haiming; Xing, Jiayi; Hu, Xinyao; Lu, Jianping; Qu, Xingda – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Our study investigated the feasibility of using head movement features to identify individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Children with ASD and typical development (TD) were required to answer ten yes--no questions, and they were encouraged to nod/shake head while doing so. The head rotation range (RR) and the amount of rotation per…

Mazzoni, Noemi; Ricciardelli, Paola; Actis-Grosso, Rossana; Venuti, Paola – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
In this study, we investigated whether the difficulties in body motion (BM) perception may led to deficit in emotion recognition in Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To this aim, individuals with high-functioning ASD were asked to recognise fearful, happy, and neutral BM depicted as static images or dynamic point-light and full-light displays.…

Achermann, Sheila; Falck-Ytter, Terje; Bölte, Sven; Nyström, Pär – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
In typical development, infants form predictions about future events based on incoming sensory information, which is essential for perception and goal-directed action. It has been suggested that individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) make predictions differently compared to neurotypical individuals. We investigated how infants who later…

Ganglmayer, Kerstin; Schuwerk, Tobias; Sodian, Beate; Paulus, Markus – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
An action's end state can be anticipated by considering the agent's goal, or simply by projecting the movement trajectory. Theories suggest that individuals with autism spectrum condition (ASC) have difficulties anticipating other's goal-directed actions, caused by an impairment using prior information. We examined whether children, adolescents…

Kaliukhovich, Dzmitry A.; Manyakov, Nikolay V.; Bangerter, Abigail; Ness, Seth; Skalkin, Andrew; Boice, Matthew; Goodwin, Matthew S.; Dawson, Geraldine; Hendren, Robert; Leventhal, Bennett; Shic, Frederick; Pandina, Gahan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Participants with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (n = 121, mean [SD] age: 14.6 [8.0] years) and typically developing (TD) controls (n = 40, 16.4 [13.3] years) were presented with a series of videos representing biological motion on one side of a computer monitor screen and non-biological motion on the other, while their eye movements were…

Van der Hallen, Ruth; Manning, Catherine; Evers, Kris; Wagemans, Johan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Visual perception in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is often debated in terms of enhanced local and impaired global perception. Deficits in global motion perception seem to support this characterization, although the evidence is inconsistent. We conducted a large meta-analysis on global motion, combining 48 articles on biological…

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…

Espanola Aguirre, Elaine; Gutierrez, Anibal – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
The Motor and Vocal Imitation Assessment (MVIA) was developed to evaluate a proposed hierarchy of imitation skills that could be used to formulate an experimentally-validated instructional guide for intervention. Imitation performance was assessed via the MVIA in 30 typically developing (TD) children and 30 children with Autism Spectrum Disorder…

Alkire, Diana; Warnell, Katherine Rice; Kirby, Laura Anderson; Moraczewski, Dustin; Redcay, Elizabeth – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The social symptoms of autism spectrum disorder are likely influenced by multiple psychological processes, yet most previous studies have focused on a single social domain. In school-aged autistic children (n = 49), we compared the amount of variance in social symptoms uniquely explained by theory of mind (ToM), biological motion perception,…

Karaminis, Themis; Arrighi, Roberto; Forth, Georgia; Burr, David; Pellicano, Elizabeth – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Autistic individuals often present atypicalities in adaptation--the continuous recalibration of perceptual systems driven by recent sensory experiences. Here, we examined such atypicalities in human biological motion. We used a dual-task paradigm, including a running-speed discrimination task ('comparing the speed of two running silhouettes') and…

Lim, Yi Huey; Lee, Hoe C.; Falkmer, Torbjörn; Allison, Garry T.; Tan, Tele; Lee, Wee Lih; Morris, Susan L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Sensory processing difficulties affect the development of sensorimotor skills in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the effect of sensory information on postural control is unclear in the ASD adult population. The present study examined the effect of visual information on postural control as well as the attentional demands…

Kostrubiec, Viviane; Huys, Raoul; Jas, Brunhilde; Kruck, Jeanne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Abnormal perceptual-motor coordination is hypothesized here to be involved in social deficits of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To test this hypothesis, high functioning children with ASD and typical controls, similar in age as well as verbal and perceptive performance, performed perceptual-motor coordination tasks and several social competence…

One major characteristic of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is problems with social interaction and communication. The present study explored ASD-related alterations in perceiving emotions expressed via body movements. 16 participants with ASD and 16 healthy controls observed video scenes of human interactions conveyed by point-light displays. They…

South, Mikle; Taylor, Katherine M.; Newton, Tiffani; Christensen, Megan; Jamison, Nathan K.; Chamberlain, Paul; Johnston, Oliver; Crowley, Michael J.; Higley, J. Dee – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
We measured skin conductance response (SCR) to escalating levels of a direct social threat from a novel, ecologically-relevant experimental paradigm, the Intruder Threat Task. We simultaneously evaluated the contribution of social symptom severity and behavioral movement. Children with AS group showed less psychophysiological reactivity to social…

Yang, Hsiu-Ching; Lee, I-Chen; Lee, I-Ching – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
This study explores the effects of visual condition and target size during four reach-to-grasp tasks between autistic children and healthy controls. Twenty children with autism and 20 healthy controls participated in the study. Qualisys motion capture system and kinematic measures were used to record movement. Autistic group showed significantly…
