Infant vocalizations are early-emerging communicative markers shown to be atypical in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but few longitudinal, prospective studies exist. In this study, 23,850 infant vocalizations from infants at low (LR)- and high (HR)-risk for ASD (HR-ASD = 23, female = 3; HR-Neg = 35, female = 13; LR = 32, female = 10; 80% White;…

Smith, C. G.; Jones, E. J. H.; Wass, S. V.; Pasco, G.; Johnson, M. H.; Charman, T.; Wan, M. W. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Internalising problems are common within Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); early intervention to support those with emerging signs may be warranted. One promising signal lies in how individual differences in temperament are shaped by parenting. Our longitudinal study of infants with and without an older sibling with ASD investigated how parenting…

Ersoy, Mutluhan; Charman, Tony; Pasco, Greg; Carr, Ewan; Johnson, Mark H.; Jones, Emily J. H. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The aim of this study was to explore the associations between temperamental reactivity and regulation and the emergence of anxiety traits in a longitudinal sample of infants enriched for later ASD. Parents of 143 infants who were at high- and low-risk for ASD rated their child's temperament traits when they were 9, 15 and 24 months old; they rated…

The objectives were to characterize behavioral signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in younger siblings of diagnosed children (high-risk; HR) and examine classification features of the Autism Observation Scale for Infants (AOSI). Participants (501 HR and 180 low-risk [LR]) were assessed between 6 and 18 months using the AOSI and at age 3 for…

Truzzi, Anna; Islam, Tanvir; Valenzi, Stefano; Esposito, Gianluca – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
Responses to infant signals are critical to infant development and well-being. However, brain mechanisms underlying paternal responses to infant crying are still largely unknown. Here using EEG, we investigated brain activations in two different groups, 10 fathers and 10 non-fathers, in response to infant-related sounds: typically developing…

Keemink, Jolie R.; Keshavarzi-Pour, Maryam J.; Kelly, David J. – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Face scanning is an important skill that takes place in a highly interactive context embedded within social interaction. However, previous research has studied face scanning using noninteractive stimuli. We aimed to study face scanning and social interaction in infancy in a more ecologically valid way by providing infants with a naturalistic and…

Heymann, Perrine; Northrup, Jessie B.; West, Kelsey L.; Parladé, Meaghan V.; Leezenbaum, Nina B.; Iverson, Jana M. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2018
Background: Research indicates that social communicative behaviours develop atypically during the second year in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This study evaluated whether these behaviours also differed in the extent to which they were coordinated across modalities. Aims: To measure joint attention behaviours (e.g., gaze shifts, gestures),…

Bowers, Katherine; Khoury, Jane; Sucharew, Heidi; Xu, Yingying; Chen, Aimin; Lanphear, Bruce; Yolton, Kimberly – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2019
Background: The objective was to determine whether infant neurobehavior measured at five post-gestational weeks could predict social and communicative behavior (SCB) through five and eight years. Methods: Infant neurobehavior was assessed using the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Network Neurobehavioral Scale, and SCB was measured using the Social…

Lee, Helen Y.; Vigen, Cheryl; Zwaigenbaum, Lonnie; Smith, Isabel M.; Brian, Jessica; Watson, Linda R.; Crais, Elizabeth R.; Baranek, Grace T. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
This study examines the construct validity of the First-Year Inventory 2.0 with respect to other established instruments in a sample of high-risk infant siblings of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The First-Year Inventory 2.0 is a parent-report screening instrument designed to identify 12-month-old infants at risk for an eventual diagnosis…

Dowd, Alexandra C.; Martinez, Kassandra; Davidson, Bridget C.; Hixon, J. Gregory; Neal-Beevers, A. Rebecca – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Early impaired response to social partners' distress may negatively impact subsequent social development. Identifying factors contributing to successful responding may inform assessment and intervention. This study explores how: (1) social impairment, and (2) partner familiarity relate to response to partners' distress. Infants with and without…

Unwin, Lisa M.; Bruz, Ildiko; Maybery, Murray T.; Reynolds, Victoria; Ciccone, Natalie; Dissanayake, Cheryl; Hickey, Martha; Whitehouse, Andrew J. O. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
There is preliminary evidence that infant siblings of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have an atypical pattern of cry, characterized by higher fundamental frequency and increased dysphonation. This prospective study collected multiple cry samples of 12-month old siblings of children with ASD (n = 22, "high-risk" group) and…

Sivberg, Bengt; Jakobsson, Ulf; Lundqvist, Pia – Early Child Development and Care, 2019
Very early precursors of disrupted social behaviours are significant to understanding the possibility of mitigating or changing behaviours through interventions. Spontaneous play situations between infant and parent in two groups of infants aged 8.5-9 months were observed. First, a large number of videos were analysed to develop an observational…

LeBarton, Eve Sauer; Iverson, Jana M. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2016
Background: Nonverbal communication deficits are characteristic of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and have been reported in some later-born siblings of children with ASD (heightened-risk (HR) children). However, little work has investigated gesture as a function of language ability, which varies greatly in this population. Aims: This longitudinal…

Talbott, Meagan R.; Nelson, Charles A.; Tager-Flusberg, Helen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2015
We examined the home-based concerns reported by mothers of infant siblings of children with autism across the first year of life. At all three ages measured, mothers of high-risk infants were significantly more likely than mothers of low-risk infants to report language, social communication, and restricted and repetitive behavior concerns but were…

This study examined whether a novel parent-report questionnaire, the Autism Parent Screen for Infants, could differentiate infants subsequently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder from a high-risk cohort (siblings of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (n = 66)) from high-risk and low-risk comparison infants (no family history of…
