Sajjad Farashi; Saeid Bashirian; Ensiyeh Jenabi; Katayoon Razjouyan – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Background: People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulties recognizing emotions. Studies showed that virtual reality (VR) and computerized training programs might be used as potential tools for enhancing emotion recognition in such people. However, some inconsistencies were observed between the studies. Objective: In the current…

Cigala, Ada; Mori, Arianna; Silla, Benedetta – International Journal of Early Childhood, 2023
Perspective taking refers to the ability to understand others' thoughts, feelings and perspectives. From previous studies, it emerges that children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder show many difficulties in understanding the other's point of view, especially in terms of thoughts and emotions. The aims of the present study were: (1) to…

Haghighi, Amir Hossein; Broughani, Shokofeh; Askari, Roya; Shahrabadi, Hadi; Souza, Daniel; Gentil, Paulo – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of combined physical training (CPT) on social skills and physical fitness (PF) in children with ASD. Sixteen children with autism (age 6-10 years) were randomly assigned into two groups: CPT and control. The CPT group participated in a program involving ball game, rhythmic movements, and…

Adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) seem to have difficulty dealing with complex social situations, which is likely related to their challenges in understanding others' perspectives, according to the Theory of Mind (ToM). The purpose of this preliminary study was to examine the effect of multiple exemplar training (MET) on the…

Previous studies found that exposure to self-facial expressions (SFE) facilitated recognition of other-facial expressions (OFE) in typical individuals. However, this effect is unclear for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study designed an SFE recognition training curriculum and employed a nonconcurrent multiple probe-baseline…
