We investigated (1) if the perceptual integration performance is different in children with ASD in comparison with their typically developed (TD) counterparts; and (2) if activating--priming--the global processing strategy, could benefit the integration performance of children with ASD in the subsequent task. We observed that in comparison with…

In two studies, we used the Gottschaldt's Hidden Figure Test (GHFT) for assessing figure disembedding ability in children aged 7-11. Study 1 demonstrated in a large sample of typically developing children that GHFT accuracy and time scores differed across age groups, without sex and socioeconomic differences. Thus, we provided normative data only…

Aaronson, Benjamin; Estes, Annette; Rogers, Sally J.; Dawson, Geraldine; Bernier, Raphael – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
We examined the relationship between the Early start Denver model (ESDM) intervention and mu rhythm attenuation, an EEG paradigm reflecting neural processes associated with action perception and social information processing. Children were assigned to either receive comprehensive ESDM intervention for two years, or were encouraged to pursue…

Vasa, Roma A.; Singh, Vini; McDonald, Rachel G.; Mazefsky, Carla; Hong, Ji Su; Keefer, Amy – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Research indicates that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently exhibit dysregulation, which refers to poorly coordinated affective, behavioral, and cognitive responses to a given situation. We examined the characteristics of dysregulation in children presenting to a multidisciplinary ASD clinic for an ASD diagnostic evaluation.…

Altschuler, Melody R.; Faja, Susan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The present study evaluates the test-retest reliability of six theory of mind (ToM) tasks that measured cognitive, affective, and spontaneous ToM in 7 to 11 year-old children with autism spectrum disorder. Our results revealed considerable variation in test-retest reliability depending on the type of ToM task, which ranged from poor to good with…

Ni, Pingping; Xue, Lingfeng; Cai, Jiajing; Wen, Minjie; He, Jie – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Visual perspective-taking is the ability to perceive the world from another person's perspective, and research on visual perspective-taking ability in children with autism spectrum conditions yielded inconsistent results. To solve a visual perspective-taking task, people can mentally rotate themselves to another person's location (embodied…

Bathelt, Joe; Geurts, Hilde M. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Differences in the default mode network are among the most replicated brain-level findings in autistic individuals. Furthermore, subregions within the default mode network are associated with cognitive functions such as mentalising that are immediately relevant to cognitive theories of autism. Recent evidence suggests that the default mode network…

Larson, Caroline; Gangopadhyay, Ishanti; Prescott, Kathryn; Kaushanskaya, Margarita; Ellis Weismer, Susan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
This study examined verbal mediation during planning in school-age children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) relative to age- and nonverbal IQ- matched typically developing peers using a dual-task paradigm. Analyses showed no group differences in performance. However, in the condition intended to disrupt verbal mediation, language skills were…

Boo, Cynthia; Alpers-Leon, Nora; McIntyre, Nancy; Mundy, Peter; Naigles, Letitia – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Many studies have utilized standardized measures and storybook narratives to characterize language profiles of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). They report that structural language of these children is on par with mental-age-matched typically developing (TD) peers. Few studies have…

Godoy, Priscilla B. G.; Shephard, Elizabeth; Milosavljevic, Bosiljka; Johnson, Mark H.; Charman, Tony – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Shared difficulties with cognitive control may play a role in co-occurring mental health problems frequently observed in autistic children. We investigated how different cognitive control processes (inhibitory control, conflict resolution, cognitive flexibility) associated with traits of autism spectrum disorder (ASD),…

McDermott, Helen R.; Prelock, Patricia A.; Brien, Ashley R. – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2020
This study examined the relationship between mental state term use in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing (TD) children engaged in play. Expression of mental state terms was used as an indicator of theory of mind (ToM) skills. Archived data were used to compare mental state term use for five ASD-TD dyads engaged…

Baldimtsi, Eleni; Nicolopoulou, Ageliki; Tsimpli, Ianthi Maria – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Substantial research indicates that individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have difficulties with Theory of Mind (ToM) abilities, but rarely have studies used a comprehensive battery to measure both the cognitive and affective aspects of ToM. The present study tested this ability in 24 Greek-speaking children with ASD (ages 7-14), and…

Nicholson, Toby; Williams, David; Carpenter, Katie; Kallitsounaki, Aimilia – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Interoception (the ability to sense what's going on inside one's body) is considered integral to many higher-order cognitive processes. Some have speculated that impaired interoception may underpin some features of ASD. Yet, in Experiment 1, we found no evidence of a between-group difference in either cardiac or respiratory interoceptive accuracy…

Linnenbank, M.; Feldmann, R.; Schulte-Körne, G.; Beimdiek, S.; Strittmatter, E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The processing speed index (PSI) of the Wechsler intelligence scale for children (WISC-IV) has been found to predict a child's level of academic functioning. The consistently reported PSI weakness in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) therefore warrants special assistance and attempts at compensation for the disadvantages associated with…

Olson, Lindsay A.; Mash, Lisa E.; Linke, Annika; Fong, Christopher H.; Müller, Ralph-Axel; Fishman, Inna – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Although a growing literature highlights sex differences in autism spectrum disorder clinical presentation, less is known about female variants at the neural level. We investigated sex-related patterns of functional connectivity within and between functional networks in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders, compared to typically…
