Conson, Massimiliano; Siciliano, Mattia; Trojano, Luigi; Zoccolotti, Pierluigi; Zappullo, Isa; Baiano, Chiara; Caputo, Giovanni; Russo, Alessandro; Cecere, Roberta; Cecere, Roberta; Di Rosa, Alessandro; Esposito, Giovanna; Milo, Rosa; Polito, Francesco; Rauso, Barbara; Vela, Maria; Santangelo, Gabriella – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
In two studies, we used the Gottschaldt's Hidden Figure Test (GHFT) for assessing figure disembedding ability in children aged 7-11. Study 1 demonstrated in a large sample of typically developing children that GHFT accuracy and time scores differed across age groups, without sex and socioeconomic differences. Thus, we provided normative data only…

The Broader Autism Phenotype and Visual Perception in Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sabatino DiCriscio, Antoinette; Troiani, Vanessa – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Atypical visual perception has increasingly been described in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and linked to quantitative, autism-like features that are present in children and adults without ASD. We investigated whether individual differences in visual processing skills were related to quantitative measures of autism traits in a…

The Autism-Spectrum Quotient and Visual Search: Shallow and Deep Autistic Endophenotypes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Gregory, B. L.; Plaisted-Grant, K. C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
A high Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) score (Baron-Cohen et al. in "J Autism Dev Disord" 31(1):5-17, 2001) is increasingly used as a proxy in empirical studies of perceptual mechanisms in autism. Several investigations have assessed perception in non-autistic people measured for AQ, claiming the same relationship exists between…

Brief Report: Autism-Like Traits Are Associated with Enhanced Ability to Disembed Visual Forms
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Sabatino DiCriscio, Antoinette; Troiani, Vanessa – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Atypical visual perceptual skills are thought to underlie unusual visual attention in autism spectrum disorders. We assessed whether individual differences in visual processing skills scaled with quantitative traits associated with the broader autism phenotype (BAP). Visual perception was assessed using the Figure-ground subtest of the Test of…

Brief Report: Effect of Spatial Complexity on Visual Short-Term Memory and Self-Reported Autistic-Like Traits in Typically Developed Individuals
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Takahashi, Junichi; Gyoba, Jiro; Yamawaki, Nozomi – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2013
This report examines effects of the spatial complexity of configurations on visual short-term memory (VSTM) capacity for individuals from the general population differing on autism-spectrum quotient (AQ) scores. During each trial, nine-line segments with various orientations were arrayed in simple or complex configurations and presented in both…

Mayes, Susan Dickerson; Calhoun, Susan L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2008
Children with high-functioning autism earned above normal scores on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (WISC-IV) Perceptual Reasoning and Verbal Comprehension Indexes and below normal scores on the Working Memory and Processing Speed Indexes and Wechsler Individual Achievement Test-Second Edition (WIAT-II) Written…
