Juliene Madureira Ferreira; Kristen Bottema-Beutel – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Through a conversation analytic approach, we investigate the emergence of accounts provided by autistic children in small-group discussions. Nine Finnish children (7-10 years old) attending school with special support participated in a five-month-duration pedagogical practice purposefully designed to enhance children's participation in groups. We…

Van der Hallen, Ruth; Vanmarcke, Steven; Noens, Ilse; Wagemans, Johan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Studies using hierarchical patterns to test global precedence and local-global interference in individuals with ASD have produced mixed results. The current study focused on stimulus variability and locational uncertainty, while using different attentional modes. Two groups of 44 children with and without ASD completed a divided attention task as…

Kourkoulou, Anastasia; Leekam, Susan R.; Findlay, John M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2012
Although previous research has reported impairments in implicit learning in individuals with ASD, research using one implicit learning paradigm, the contextual cueing task (Chun and Jiang in Cognitive Psychol 36:28-71, 1998), shows evidence of intact ability to integrate spatial contextual information. Using an adaptation of this paradigm, we…

Rutherford, M. D.; Young, Gregory S.; Hepburn, Susan; Rogers, Sally J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2007
This study describes a longitudinal design (following subjects described in Rutherford & Rogers [2003, "Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorder", 33, 289-302]) to test for predictors of pretend play competence in a group of children with autism. We tested the hypothesis that developmental change in pretend play performance can be predicted by…

Ingersoll, Brooke; Schreibman, Laura – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2006
Children with autism exhibit significant deficits in imitation skills which impede the acquisition of more complex behaviors and socialization, and are thus an important focus of early intervention programs for children with autism. This study used a multiple-baseline design across five young children with autism to assess the benefit of a…

Grindle, Corinna F.; Remington, Bob – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
Three children with autism were taught to identify pictures of emotions in response to their spoken names. Their speed of acquisition was compared using a within-child alternating treatments design across three teaching conditions, each involving a 5 second delay to reinforcement. In the marked-before condition, an instruction encouraged the…

Schoen, Sharon F.; Ogden, Stacy – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1995
Effects of constant time delay, observational learning opportunities, and differential attentional cuing were examined during small-group instruction of three elementary students with mental retardation or at risk for learning problems. Findings support the salience of time delay in facilitating word acquisition in heterogeneous groups, and a…
