Cognitive flexibility in autism: Evidence from young autistic children / Maria ANDREOU in Autism Research, 15-12 (December 2022)
[article]
Titre : Cognitive flexibility in autism: Evidence from young autistic children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Maria ANDREOU, Auteur ; Kostas KONSTANTOPOULOS, Auteur ; Eleni PERISTERI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2296-2309 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Child Humans Autistic Disorder/complications Autism Spectrum Disorder/complications Semantics Language Cognition autism children's color trails test cognitive flexibility fluency Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We examined the cognitive flexibility performance of young autistic children and a group of neurotypical peers. Thirty-six autistic children (72-83 months) and 200 age-matched typically-developing children were assessed on the Children's Color Trails Test (CCTT), a semantic and a phonemic verbal fluency task. The results showed that the autistic children performed worse than their neurotypical peers in the switching component of the CCTT. In the fluency tests, the autistic group generated overall fewer word items than their neurotypical peers, however, their poorer performance was driven by specific linguistic stimuli in the fluency tasks. The findings suggest that cognitive flexibility for the autistic children was affected in the nonverbal CCTT only, while poor performance in semantic and phonemic fluency seemed to be inherent to the language properties of the verbal fluency tasks.

[article]
Titre : Figurative language processing in autism spectrum disorders: A review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Stella LAMPRI, Auteur ; Eleni PERISTERI, Auteur ; Theodoros MARINIS, Auteur ; Maria ANDREOU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.674-689 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Impairments in the broader domain of pragmatics are considered to be a defining feature of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). A challenging aspect of pragmatic competence is the ability to process nonliteral language. Interestingly, previous studies in figurative language comprehension in ASD have demonstrated conflicting results regarding participants' performance. The main scientific debate focuses on the underlying skills which facilitate processing of nonliteral speech in ASD. Namely, Theory of Mind (ToM), language abilities and Executive functions (EFs) are regarded as factors affecting autistic individuals' performance. This review addresses figurative language comprehension in ASD in light of the above three interpretive accounts. We reviewed data from recent studies in this field concluding that autistic children indeed encounter systematic difficulties in the processing of non-literal language. Moreover, only ToM and verbal skills were found to correlate the most with figurative language comprehension in ASD. Notably, we found that differences related to research methodology and tasks' properties may have led to discrepancies between studies' results. Finally, we argue that future studies should encompass in their experimental design figurative comprehension tasks with minimal linguistic demands and also measures of ToM, verbal ability and EFs in order to shed more light in the independent contribution of those skills to the processing of nonliteral language in ASD.

[article]
Titre : Intellectual development in young children with autism spectrum disorders: A longitudinal study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Eleni PERISTERI, Auteur ; Maria ANDREOU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.543-554 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Intelligence profiles in autism have been characterized by great variability. The questions of how autistic children's intelligence changes over time, and what factors influence these changes deserve study as part of efforts to document child autism profiles, but also because the relationship between intellectual functioning and children's background characteristics is poorly understood, particularly in a longitudinal context. A total of 39 autistic children and 39 age-matched neurotypical children (5-9?years old) completed two IQ assessments at preschool age and up to 4?years later. Repeated-measures analyses assessed longitudinal changes in the children's verbal (VIQ), performance (PIQ), and full-scale IQ (FSIQ) at group level. We further sought to identify clusters with distinct profiles in each group by adopting an unsupervised K-means clustering approach, and detect possible between-subgroup differences in terms of children's socioeconomic status and autism severity. The largest cluster in the autistic group was composed of children whose PIQ significantly dropped at follow-up, while the second largest cluster improved in all quotients; the smallest cluster, wherein children had more highly educated mothers than the rest of the clusters, was characterized by large improvement in VIQ. For the neurotypical children, there was a two-cluster division; the majority of them improved in the three quotients, while very few dropped in PIQ at follow-up. The relation between socioeconomic status and IQ changes was significant for both groups. The findings demonstrate both the complexity of intelligence changes in autism and the need to view this complexity through the lens of the children's socioeconomic diversity.
