Alapika Jatkar; Dunia Garrido; Shuting Zheng; Greyson Silverman; Heba Elsayed; Paige Huguely Davis; Helen Lee; Elizabeth R. Crais; John Sideris; Lauren Turner-Brown; Grace T. Baranek; Linda R. Watson; Rebecca Grzadzinski – Journal of Early Intervention, 2023
Baseline child characteristics may predict treatment outcomes in children with or at elevated likelihood of developing autism (EL-ASD). Little is known about the role of child sensory and language features on treatment outcome. Participants were randomly assigned to a parent-mediated intervention or control condition. Analyses explored the…

Girard, Dominique; Courchesne, Valérie; Cimon-Paquet, Catherine; Jacques, Claudine; Soulières, Isabelle – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
The current prospective cohort study investigated whether early perceptual abilities, measured at preschool age, could predict later intellectual abilities at school age in a group of 41 autistic (9 girls, 32 boys) and 57 neurotypical children (29 girls, 28 boys). More than 80% of the autistic children were considered minimally verbal.…

Mere-Cook, Yvette – ProQuest LLC, 2016
Results from previous research studies suggest that inclusive settings benefit all learners. However, general education teachers often do not have built in supports within the classroom to meet the needs of students with disabilities. Implementing a sensory diet curriculum (SDC) is one instructional practice that addresses needs of students with…

Besken, Miri; Mulligan, Neil W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
Judgments of learning (JOLs) are sometimes influenced by factors that do not impact actual memory performance. One recent proposal is that perceptual fluency during encoding affects metamemory and is a basis of metacognitive illusions. In the present experiments, participants identified aurally presented words that contained inter-spliced silences…

Krouse, Hailey E.; Braden, Jeffery P. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2011
The present study examined the reliability and validity of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (WISC-IV) for use with deaf and hard-of-hearing (D/HOH) children. Psychologists (n = 10) provided data for 128 D/HOH children who were assessed with the WISC-IV as part of routine assessments. All the WISC-IV subtests (8) and…

Martinez-Castilla, Pastora; Sotillo, Maria; Campos, Ruth – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2011
In spite of the relevant role of prosody in communication, and in contrast with other linguistic components, there is paucity of research in this field for Williams syndrome (WS). Therefore, this study performed a systematic assessment of prosodic abilities in WS. The Spanish version of the Profiling Elements of Prosody in Speech-Communication…

Wang, Ranxiao Frances – Cognition, 2004
Studies have shown that perception of distance, orientation and size can be dissociated from action tasks. The action system seems to possess more veridical, unbiased information than the perceptual/verbal system. The current study examines the nature of the distinction between action and verbal responses in a spatial reasoning task. Participants…

Budwig, Nancy; Wiley, Angela – New Directions for Child Development, 1995
Uses longitudinal data on language acquisition to examine children's language and sense of self and others. Referential analysis of children's discourse found that children do locate self and other in a spatio-temporal realm. Form-function analysis found that children's discourse about self was more varied in form and in semantic and pragmatic…

Smiley, Patricia A.; Greene, Joelle K. – New Directions for Child Development, 1995
Examined the nature of infants' development of social knowledge and the role of caregivers' verbal responses to requests in learning about self and others. Found that, as indicated by changes in request-making behavior, children's conceptualization of the role of self in making requests changes with age; the nature of children's conceptualization…

Toomey, Janice; Adams, Lawrence A. – New Directions for Child Development, 1995
Briefly reviews current knowledge about the nature of limits of intersubjectivity (ability to acquire and manage representations of self and other through social experience) in autistic children. Describes an observational study of verbal autistic children indicating the presence of intersubjectivity, but with little of the verbal social…

Ryals, Brenda M.; Dooling, Robert J. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2000
A bird study found that with sufficient time and training after hair cell and hearing loss and hair cell regeneration, the mature avian auditory system can accommodate input from a newly regenerated periphery sufficiently to allow for recognition of previously familiar vocalizations and the learning of new complex acoustic classifications.…

Yelsma, Paul – 1974
Social perceptual processes are reexamined in order to develop better insight into interpersonal communication selectivity when several stimuli are present. It is argued that stimuli are selected differentially because of the perceiver's experiential codification sophistication: a preference for using some codes rather than others exists in…
