A Close Eye on the Eagle-Eyed Visual Acuity Hypothesis of Autism / Sven BÖLTE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-5 (May 2012)

FREITAG, Auteur ; Angela CIARAMIDARO, Auteur ; Henrik WALTER, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.726-733 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Schizophrenia  Vision  Attention  Sensory processing  Bottom-up Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have been associated with sensory hypersensitivity. A recent study reported visual acuity (VA) in ASD in the region reported for birds of prey. The validity of the results was subsequently doubted. This study examined VA in 34 individuals with ASD, 16 with schizophrenia (SCH), and 26 typically developing (TYP). Participants with ASD did not show higher VA than those with SCH and TYP. There were no substantial correlations of VA with clinical severity in ASD or SCH. This study could not confirm the eagle-eyed acuity hypothesis of ASD, or find evidence for a connection of VA and clinical phenotypes. Research needs to further address the origins and circumstances associated with altered sensory or perceptual processing in ASD.

Executive and Visuo-motor Function in Adolescents and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Michael SACHSE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-5 (May 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 43-5 (May 2013) . - p.1222-1235 Titre : Executive and Visuo-motor Function in Adolescents and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Michael SACHSE, Auteur ; Sabine SCHLITT, Auteur ; Daniela HAINZ, Auteur ; Angela CIARAMIDARO, Auteur ; Shella SCHIRMAN, Auteur ; Henrik WALTER, Auteur ; Fritz POUSTKA, Auteur ; Sven BÖLTE, Auteur ; Christine M. FREITAG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1222-1235 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Executive functions  Reaction time  Movement time  Information processing  CANTAB Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study broadly examines executive (EF) and visuo-motor function in 30 adolescent and adult individuals with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in comparison to 28 controls matched for age, gender, and IQ. ASD individuals showed impaired spatial working memory, whereas planning, cognitive flexibility, and inhibition were spared. Pure movement execution during visuo-motor information processing also was intact. In contrast, execution time of reading, naming, and of visuo-motor information processing tasks including a choice component was increased in the ASD group. Results of this study are in line with previous studies reporting only minimal EF difficulties in older individuals with ASD when assessed by computerized tasks. The finding of impaired visuo-motor information processing should be accounted for in further neuropsychological studies in ASD.
