van Laarhoven, Thijs; Stekelenburg, Jeroen J.; Eussen, Mart L. J. M.; Vroomen, Jean – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Autism spectrum disorder is a pervasive neurodevelopmental disorder that has been linked to a range of perceptual processing alterations, including hypo- and hyperresponsiveness to sensory stimulation. A recently proposed theory that attempts to account for these symptoms, states that autistic individuals have a decreased ability to anticipate…

Wu, Hsuan-Chen; Biondo, Francesca; O'Mahony, Ciara; White, Sarah; Thiebaut, Flora; Rees, Geraint; Burgess, Paul W. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Some people with autism spectrum disorders have been observed to experience difficulties with making correct inferences in conversations in social situations. However, the nature and origin of their problem is rarely investigated. This study used manipulations of video stimuli to investigate two questions. The first question was whether it is the…

Kim, So Hyun; Buzzell, George; Faja, Susan; Choi, Yeo Bi; Thomas, Hannah R; Brito, Natalie Hiromi; Shuffrey, Lauren C.; Fifer, William P.; Morrison, Frederick D.; Lord, Catherine; Fox, Nathan – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Although electrophysiological (electroencephalography) measures of executive functions (e.g. error monitoring) have been used to predict academic achievement in typically developing children, work investigating a link between error monitoring and academic skills in children with autism spectrum disorder is limited. In this study, we employed…

Cleary, Laura; Brady, Nuala; Fitzgerald, Michael; Gallagher, Louise – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2015
Impaired face perception in autism spectrum disorders is thought to reflect a perceptual style characterized by componential rather than configural processing of faces. This study investigated face processing in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders using the Thatcher illusion, a perceptual phenomenon exhibiting "inversion effects"…

Constable, Paul A.; Ring, Melanie; Gaigg, Sebastian B.; Bowler, Dermot M. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2018
The Vygotsky Blocks Test assesses problem-solving styles within a theoretical framework for the development of higher mental processes devised by Vygotsky. Because both the theory and the associated test situate cognitive development within the child's social and linguistic context, they address conceptual issues around the developmental relation…

Macedoni-Luksic, Marta; Greiss-Hess, Laura; Rogers, Sally J.; Gosar, David; Lemons-Chitwood, Kerrie; Hagerman, Randi – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2009
To address the specific impairment of imitation in autism, the imitation abilities of 22 children with fragile X syndrome (FXS) with and without autism were compared. Based on previous research, we predicted that children with FXS and autism would have significantly more difficulty with non-meaningful imitation tasks. After controlling for…

Vogindroukas, I.; Papageorgiou, V.; Vostanis, P. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2003
Semantic or vocabulary errors were measured among 6 children with autism and mild learning disability (ages 7-8) and 6 with mild learning disability. Vocabulary errors were similar, except under extension, which was not used by children with autism. Children with autism tended to use all mechanisms in order to name something. (Contains…

Shu, Bih-Ching; Lung, For-Wey; Tien, Allen Y.; Chen, Bor-Chih – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2001
A study involving 26 Taiwanese children (ages 6-12) with autism and 52 controls found scores on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test were significantly higher for controls for categories completed and percent conceptual level. Scores on perseverative responses, perseverative errors, and non-perseverative errors were higher for those with autism.…
