Impairments in Cognitive Empathy and Alexithymia Occur Independently of Executive Functioning in College Students with Autism
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ziermans, Tim; de Bruijn, Ymke; Dijkhuis, Renee; Staal, Wouter; Swaab, Hanna – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
Reduced empathy and alexithymic traits are common across the autism spectrum, but it is unknown whether this is also true for intellectually advanced adults with autism spectrum disorder. The aim of this study was to examine whether college students with autism spectrum disorder experience difficulties with empathy and alexithymia, and whether…

The Psychophysiological Mechanisms of Alexithymia in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gaigg, Sebastian B.; Cornell, Anna S. F.; Bird, Geoffrey – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2018
Accumulating evidence indicates that co-occurring alexithymia underlies several facets of the social-emotional difficulties common in individuals with autism spectrum disorder. The mechanisms involved, however, remain poorly understood because measuring alexithymia relies heavily on self-report. To address this issue, carefully matched groups of…

Typical Pain Experience but Underestimation of Others' Pain: Emotion Perception in Self and Others in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Thaler, Hanna; Skewes, Joshua C.; Gebauer, Line; Christensen, Peer; Prkachin, Kenneth M.; Jegindø Elmholdt, Else-Marie – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2018
Difficulties in emotion perception are commonly observed in autism spectrum disorder. However, it is unclear whether these difficulties can be attributed to a general problem of relating to emotional states, or whether they specifically concern the perception of others' expressions. This study addressed this question in the context of pain, a…

Using Time Perception to Explore Implicit Sensitivity to Emotional Stimuli in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Jones, Catherine R. G.; Lambrechts, Anna; Gaigg, Sebastian B. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Establishing whether implicit responses to emotional cues are intact in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is fundamental to ascertaining why their emotional understanding is compromised. We used a temporal bisection task to assess for responsiveness to face and wildlife images that varied in emotional salience. There were no significant differences…

Reactive and Proactive Interference Control in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder across the Lifespan
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lever, Anne G.; Ridderinkhof, K. Richard; Marsman, Maarten; Geurts, Hilde M. – Developmental Psychology, 2017
As a large heterogeneity is observed across studies on interference control in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), research may benefit from the use of a cognitive framework that models specific processes underlying reactive and proactive control of interference. Reactive control refers to the expression and suppression of responses and proactive…

Emotion Perception Mediates the Predictive Relationship between Verbal Ability and Functional Outcome in High-Functioning Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Otsuka, Sadao; Uono, Shota; Yoshimura, Sayaka; Zhao, Shuo; Toichi, Motomi – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
The aim of this study was to identify specific cognitive abilities that predict functional outcome in high-functioning adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and to clarify the contribution of those abilities and their relationships. In total, 41 adults with ASD performed cognitive tasks in a broad range of neuro- and social cognitive…
