Touching While Listening: Does Infants' Haptic Word Processing Speed Predict Vocabulary Development?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kayla Beaudin; Diane Poulin-DuBois; Pascal Zesiger – Journal of Child Language, 2024
The present study examined the links between haptic word processing speed, vocabulary, and inhibitory control among bilingual children. Three main hypotheses were tested: faster haptic processing speed, measured by the Computerized Comprehension Task at age 1;11, would be associated with larger concurrent vocabulary and greater longitudinal…

Sensory Hypersensitivity Predicts Repetitive Behaviours in Autistic and Typically-Developing Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Schulz, Samantha E.; Stevenson, Ryan A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between sensory hypersensitivity and restricted interests and repetitive behaviours associated with autism spectrum disorder and their typically-developing peers. Furthermore, the aims included the examination of the relationship across sensory modalities and various types of restricted…

Does Attention Modify Contributions to Heaviness Perception?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Waddell, Morgan L.; Amazeen, Eric L. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2020
Purpose: The current study investigated the effect of attention on heaviness perception and its physiological and kinematic contributions. Method: Participants lifted objects that varied in mass and volume while their muscle activity and movement were recorded. Participants were instructed to pay attention to their arm (internal) or the object…

Sensory Overresponsivity as a Predictor of Amplitude Discrimination Performance in Youth with ASD
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
McKernan, Elizabeth P.; Wu, Ying; Russo, Natalie – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Previous studies have suggested that sensory overresponsivity in youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be due to a failure to habituate to stimuli. We examined the relationship between performance on three tactile psychophysical tasks and the construct of sensory overresponsivity in children with and without ASD. Sensory overresponsivity…

Brief Report: Which Came First? Exploring Crossmodal Temporal Order Judgements and Their Relationship with Sensory Reactivity in Autism and Neurotypicals
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Poole, Daniel; Gowen, Emma; Warren, Paul A.; Poliakoff, Ellen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Previous studies have indicated that visual-auditory temporal acuity is reduced in children with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) in comparison to neurotypicals. In the present study we investigated temporal acuity for all possible bimodal pairings of visual, tactile and auditory information in adults with ASC (n = 18) and a matched control group…

Touch Processing and Social Behavior in ASD
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Miguel, Helga O.; Sampaio, Adriana; Martínez-Regueiro, Rocío; Gómez-Guerrero, Lorena; López-Dóriga, Cristina Gutiérrez; Gómez, Sonia; Carracedo, Ángel; Fernández-Prieto, Montse – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Abnormal patterns of touch processing have been linked to core symptoms in ASD. This study examined the relation between tactile processing patterns and social problems in 44 children and adolescents with ASD, aged 6-14 (M = 8.39 ± 2.35). Multiple linear regression indicated significant associations between touch processing and social problems. No…

Ausburn, Lynna J. – 1979
A U.S. Air Force study was designed to investigate simultaneously four cognitive styles--field dependence-independence, reflectivity-impulsivity, leveling-sharpening, and visual-haptics. A sample of 206 undergraduate volunteers at the University of Oklahoma were tested with the Successive Perceptual Test I (SPT-I), the Hidden Figures Test (HFT),…
