Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jiménez, Eva; Haebig, Eileen; Hills, Thomas T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
This study compares the lexical composition of 118 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) aged 12 to 84 months with 4626 vocabulary-matched typically developing toddlers with and without language delay, aged 8 to 30 months. Children with ASD and late talkers showed a weaker noun bias. Additionally, differences were identified in the…

Developmental Associations between Joint Engagement and Autistic Children's Vocabulary: A Cross-Lagged Panel Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bottema-Beutel, Kristen; Kim, So Yoon; Crowley, Shannon; Yoder, Paul J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Cross-lagged panel analysis was used to examine associations between two joint engagement variables; higher order supported joint engagement and higher order supported joint engagement that co-occurs with caregiver's follow-in talk (higher order supported joint engagement + follow-in), and expressive and receptive vocabulary in a group of young…

Lexical Processing in Toddlers with ASD: Does Weak Central Coherence Play a Role?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ellis Weismer, Susan; Haebig, Eileen; Edwards, Jan; Saffran, Jenny; Venker, Courtney E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
This study investigated whether vocabulary delays in toddlers with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) can be explained by a cognitive style that prioritizes processing of detailed, local features of input over global contextual integration--as claimed by the weak central coherence (WCC) theory. Thirty toddlers with ASD and 30 younger,…

Word Learning in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Luyster, Rhiannon; Lord, Catherine – Developmental Psychology, 2009
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have been gaining attention, partly as an example of unusual developmental trajectories related to early neurobiological differences. The present investigation addressed the process of learning new words to explore mechanisms of language delay and impairment. The sample included 21 typically developing toddlers…
