Brief report: Temporal distribution of visual attention between the eyes and mouth in young autistic children / Fanny STERCQ ; Mikhail KISSINE in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 110 (February 2024)
[article]
Titre : Brief report: Temporal distribution of visual attention between the eyes and mouth in young autistic children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Fanny STERCQ, Auteur ; Mikhail KISSINE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102292 Mots-clés : Eye-tracking Face scanning Autism Generalized additive mixed effects model Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Face scanning studies in autistic children report mixed results as to attention allocated to the eyes and mouth regions. While face scanning is a dynamic process, the way autistic children distribute their attention between the eyes and mouth of their interlocutor is usually analyzed by averaging the proportion of time spent looking either on the eyes or the mouth over the whole duration of stimulus presentation. Method In this study, instead, we focused on the temporal distribution of visual attention between the eyes and mouth of adult faces in 58 autistic and 61 typically developing (TD) children. Participants? eye movements were recorded as they were freely watching videos of faces of silent and speaking adults. We explored attention to the eyes and mouth with fine-grained analyses of the temporal trajectory of fixations on the two regions using generalized additive mixed effects models. Results These analyses revealed that both groups started their observation of speaking faces on the eyes and shifted to the mouth as the actor started speaking. However, TD, but not autistic children then slowly shifted their attention back to the eyes. Conclusions Rigorous analyses of how autistic children modulate their visual attention between key social features of the face over time may provide more accurate descriptions of their face scanning abilities.

[article]
Titre : Compliance with requests by children with autism: the impact of sentence type Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mikhail KISSINE, Auteur ; Philippe DE BRABANTER, Auteur ; Jacqueline LEYBAERT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.523-531 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : indirect speech acts naturalistic study non-literal speech pragmatics Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study assesses the extent to which children with autism understand requests performed with grammatically non-imperative sentence types. Ten children with autism were videotaped in naturalistic conditions. Four grammatical sentence types were distinguished: imperative, declarative, interrogative and sub-sentential. For each category, the proportion of requests complied with significantly exceeded the proportion of requests not complied with, and no difference across categories was found. These results show that children with autism do not rely exclusively on the linguistic form to interpret an utterance as a request.

[article]
Titre : Describing (pre)linguistic oral productions in 3- to 5-year-old autistic children: A cluster analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Pauline MAES, Auteur ; Marielle WEYLAND, Auteur ; Mikhail KISSINE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.967-982 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder,cluster analysis,expressive language,minimally speaking Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In many autistic children, speech onset is delayed and expressive language emerges after 3 years of age. We qualitatively and quantitatively describe oral productions of autistic preschoolers, including many non- or minimally speaking, recorded during interactions with a caregiver and with an experimenter. Data clustering on manually coded oral production samples indicates five validated linguistic profiles of oral production in this diverse and inclusive sample (n=59) of 3- to 5-year-old autistic children with highly variable expressive language abilities. These profiles are then compared on a series of demographic (age, socioeconomic status) and psychometric (autism severity, nonverbal and verbal IQ) measures, as well as on additional measures of language (expressive vocabulary, phonetic inventories). Two clusters are composed of speaking autistic children, while the three others comprise non- or minimally speaking children with qualitatively different patterns of vocal productions. The five-profile division suggests that traditional binary division of speaking vs nonspeaking children does not do justice to the complexity of early expressive language in autism.Lay abstractFor most autistic children, spoken language emergence and development happen after the age of 3. Once they start developing and using spoken language, some eventually manage to reach typical levels of language abilities, while others remain minimally speaking into adulthood. It is therefore difficult to consider young autistic preschoolers as a homogeneous group in terms of spoken language levels. In our study, we breakdown a representative and inclusive group of children on the spectrum aged from 3 to 5 into five subgroups that correspond to different linguistic profiles. To do so, we qualitatively described children?s (pre)verbal productions elicited during interactions with a parent and with an experimenter. We then used a type of statistical analysis called cluster analysis to group together the children that had a similar expressive (pre)linguistic behavior. Using this analysis, we were able to delineate five linguistic profiles with qualitatively different patterns of vocal production. Two of these profiles are composed of speaking children; the three others are composed of non- or minimally speaking children. Our findings show that traditional binary division of speaking versus nonspeaking autistic children is not precise enough to describe the heterogeneity of early spoken language in young autistic children. They also support the use of qualitative descriptions of vocal productions and speech to accurately document children?s level of language, which could, in turn, help design very finely tailored language intervention specific to each child.

Titre : Judgments of spoken discourse and impression formation of neurotypical and autistic adults Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Philippine GEELHAND, Auteur ; Fanny PAPASTAMOU, Auteur ; Gaétane DELIENS, Auteur ; Mikhail KISSINE, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101742 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism First impressions Spoken discourse Adults Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Studies on impression formation in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have suggested that both ASD and neurotypical (NT) individuals extract paralinguistic cues (e.g., vocal and facial expressions) from brief extracts of social behaviors to form less favorable impressions of the personality traits of ASD individuals than of their NT peers. Yet, discourse studies in ASD have also suggested that there are specific linguistic features (e.g., conjunctions) that can distinguish the speech of ASD individuals from that of NT individuals. This study investigates whether naïve participants with and without autism can perceive discourse features previously identified as characteristic of ASD speech, based on a single exposure to conversation extracts. Methods A cross-design rating experiment was created whereby a group of ASD and NT adults (blind to diagnosis information) rated audio recordings involving ASD and NT speakers. Rating participants evaluated the recordings using a Likert scale targeting impressions of discourse features. Results ASD and NT Raters behaved similarly on the ratings of discourse features; evaluating the speech of ASD Speakers less favorably than those of NT Speakers. Conclusion Our results extend previous findings by showing that linguistic cues also lead to less favorable impressions of the discourse of ASD Speakers, and this from both the perspective of NT and ASD Raters.

Titre : Neurotypical, but not autistic, adults might experience distress when looking at someone avoiding eye contact: A live face-to-face paradigm Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elise CLIN, Auteur ; Mikhail KISSINE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1949-1959 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults alexithymia autism double empathy problem electrodermal activity eye contact hyper- and hypo-arousal live eye-tracking social anxiety social attention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Many autistics report being distressed by eye contact, but eye-tracking studies suggest that eye contact is associated with hypo-arousal rather than hyper-arousal in autism. Within a live face-to-face paradigm combining a wearable eye-tracker with electrodermal activity sensors, 80 adults (40 autistics) defined words in front of an experimenter either staring at their eyes (direct gaze condition) or looking elsewhere (averted gaze condition). Autistics did not differ from neurotypicals in their eye behaviours nor their skin conductance responses. Autistics did not appear distressed when they were looking at the experimenter?s eyes in the direct gaze condition. However, neurotypicals, compared to autistics, might experience more stress when looking at the experimenter in the averted gaze condition, even after controlling for social anxiety and alexithymia. In comparison to autistics, neurotypicals might be hyper-aroused when they look at someone avoiding eye contact. Based on a bidirectional perspective on interactional difficulties in autism, we speculate that the neurotypicals' distress when their attempts to eye contact are not reciprocated could make their behaviour insistent, which, in turn, could make the autistics uncomfortable. In our study, participants' partner remained passive, displaying no specific reaction when a mutual gaze was shared or not. Future studies should test different partner reactions to gaze in various social contexts.Lay abstractWhat is already known about the topic?Autistics are usually reported to share less eye contact than neurotypicals with their interlocutors. However, the reason why autistics might pay less attention to eyes looking at them is still unknown: some autistics express being hyper-aroused by this eye contact, while some eye-tracking studies suggest that eye contact is associated with hypo-arousal in autism.What this paper adds?This study is based on a highly controlled live face-to-face paradigm, combining a wearable eye-tracker (to study eye behaviours) with electrodermal activity sensors (to assess potential stress). We draw a nuanced picture of social attention in autism, as our autistic participants did not differ from our neurotypical group in their eye behaviours nor their skin conductance responses. However, we found that neurotypicals, compared to autistics, seemed to be much more distressed when their interlocutor did not gaze at them during the experiment.Implications for practice, research or policy:Our study encourages to consider social interaction difficulties in autism as a relational issue, instead as an individual deficit. This step might be first taken in research, by implementing paradigms sensitive to the experimenter?s role and attitude.
