Lang Chen; Jin Liu; Julia Boram Kang; Miriam Rosenberg-Lee; Daniel A. Abrams; Vinod Menon – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Emerging research suggests that episodic memory challenges are commonly encountered by autistic individuals; however, the specific nature of these memory challenges remains elusive. Here, we address critical gaps in the literature by examining pattern separation memory, the ability to store distinct memories of similar stimuli, and its links to…

Emily R. Zane; Ruth B. Grossman – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2024
Background and aims: A substantial minority of autistic individuals score within typical ranges on standard language tests, suggesting that autism does not necessarily affect language acquisition. This idea is reflected in current diagnostic criteria for autism, wherein language impairment is no longer included. However, some work has suggested…

Isaac N. Treves; Jonathan Cannon; Eren Shin; Cindy E. Li; Lindsay Bungert; Amanda O'Brien; Annie Cardinaux; Pawan Sinha; John D. E. Gabrieli – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Some theories have proposed that autistic individuals have difficulty learning predictive relationships. We tested this hypothesis using a serial reaction time task in which participants learned to predict the locations of a repeating sequence of target locations. We conducted a large-sample online study with 61 autistic and 71 neurotypical…

Kristen Schroeder; Joana Rosselló; Teresa Ribalta Torrades; Wolfram Hinzen – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2023
Background & Aims: Narratives are regularly elicited as part of standardized assessments for autism spectrum conditions (ASC) such as the ADOS, but have rarely been utilized as linguistic data in their own right. We here aimed for a specific and comprehensive quantitative linguistic profile of such narratives across nominal, verbal, and…

Hilviu, Dize; Frau, Federico; Bosco, Francesca M.; Marini, Andrea; Gabbatore, Ilaria – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting social and communicative skills, including narrative ability, namely the description of real-life or fictive accounts of temporally and causally related events. With this study, we aimed to determine whether a communicative-pragmatic training, i.e., the version for…

Lin, Yu-Ju; Chiu, Yen-Nan; Wu, Yu-Yu; Tsai, Wen-Che; Gau, Susan Shur-Fen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This study followed up ADHD/autistic symptoms and attentional performance in children/adolescents with ASD and typically developing ones (TD) over 5-7 years. The participants were stratified by age at baseline into child (< 12 years) and adolescent (12-19 years) groups. ADHD symptoms, especially hyperactivity, and attentional functions…

Ines Adornetti; Alessandra Chiera; Daniela Altavilla; Valentina Deriu; Andrea Marini; Marika Gobbo; Giovanni Valeri; Rita Magni; Francesco Ferretti – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Several studies suggest that a valuable tool to examine linguistic skills in communication disorders is offered by procedures of narrative discourse assessment. Following this line of research, we present an exploratory study aimed to investigate storytelling abilities of autistic children to better define the characteristics of their story…

Maltman, Nell; Hilvert, Elizabeth; Friedman, Laura; Sterling, Audra – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Expressive language impairments are common among school-age boys with fragile X syndrome (FXS) and autistic boys. Given the high cooccurrence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among individuals with FXS, cross-condition comparisons can elucidate the specificity of such impairments as they relate to ASD. Language samples can provide…

DiSanti, Brittany Marie; Eikeseth, Svein; Eldevik, Sigmund – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2023
We evaluated two procedures to teach auditory-visual conditional discriminations (receptive labeling) to children with autism. The procedures evaluated a modified Structured Mix (SM) procedure and a modified Counterbalanced Random Rotation (RR) procedure. The modified SM procedure was based on the logic of simplifying the task by breaking it down…

Burhan Ogut; Blue Webb; Juanita Hicks; Ruhan Circi; Michelle Yin – Grantee Submission, 2024
In this study, we explore the application of process mining techniques on assessment log data to explore problem-solving strategies in Algebra. By analyzing sequences of student activities, we demonstrate the significant potential of process mining in identifying problem-solving strategies that lead to successful and unsuccessful outcomes. Our…

Verbal fluency tasks have been useful in characterizing the cognitive and language impairments in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, we have a limited understanding of verbal fluency in children and adolescents with comorbid ASD and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The current study investigates whether the…

Sukenik, Nufar; Morin, Eléonore; Friedmann, Naama; Prevost, Philippe; Tuller, Laurice – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2021
Background and aims: Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have been found to exhibit difficulties in "wh"-question production. It is unclear whether these difficulties are pragmatic or syntactic in nature. The current study used a question elicitation task to assess the production of subject and object "wh"-questions…

Muna Abd El-Raziq; Natalia Meir; Elinor Saiegh-Haddad – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2024
Background and aims: Although autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has not traditionally been associated with morphosyntactic impairments, some children with ASD manifest significant difficulties in this domain. Sentence Repetition (SRep) tasks are highly reliable tools for detecting morphosyntactic impairment in different languages and across various…
