The central coherence account of autism revisited: Evidence from the ComFor study / Ilse NOENS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2-2 (April-June 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 2-2 (April-June 2008) . - p.209-222 Titre : The central coherence account of autism revisited: Evidence from the ComFor study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ilse NOENS, Auteur ; Ina A. VAN BERCKELAER-ONNES, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.209-222 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Central-coherence Perception Local Global Autism Intellectual-disability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : According to the central coherence account, people with autism have a tendency to focus on local rather than global processing. However, there is considerable controversy about the locus of the weak drive for central coherence. Some studies support enhanced bottom–up processing, whereas others claim reduced top–down feedback. The results of the standardization study of the ComFor – a clinical instrument for the indication of augmentative communication, based on the central coherence account – were reviewed within the perspective of this debate. One hundred fifty-five individuals with intellectual disability and the autistic disorder were individually matched with 155 individuals with intellectual disability without the autistic disorder according to their level of daily living skills. The finding that individuals with the autistic disorder exhibit a higher discrepancy between the presentation and representation scores of the ComFor is consistent with expectations on the basis of the central coherence theory, but does not stipulate whether this is due to enhanced bottom–up or reduced top–down processing. Item level analyses, however, show that enhanced local processing emerges most clearly on those items whereby the establishment of meaning (global processing) is not supportive, suggesting that enhanced bottom–up processing and reduced global feedback are interconnected.

Ambiguity detection in adolescents with Asperger syndrome: Is central coherence or theory of mind impaired? / Sandrine LE SOURN-BISSAOUI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-1 (January-March 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 5-1 (January-March 2011) . - p.648-656 Titre : Ambiguity detection in adolescents with Asperger syndrome: Is central coherence or theory of mind impaired? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sandrine LE SOURN-BISSAOUI, Auteur ; Stéphanie CAILLIES, Auteur ; Fabien GIERSKI, Auteur ; Jacques MOTTE, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.648-656 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ambiguity-detection Weak-central-coherence Asperger-syndrome Second-order-theory-of-mind Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The aim of this study was to investigate the role of central coherence skills and theory of mind competences in ambiguity detection in adolescents with Asperger syndrome (AS). We sought to pinpoint the level at which AS individuals experience difficulty detecting semantic ambiguity and identify the factors that account for their problems. We hypothesized that this difficulty could be related to a second-order false-belief misunderstanding and/or a weak central coherence (WCC). To test this hypothesis, we conducted an experiment investigating the processing of ambiguous idiomatic expressions (Caillies & Le Sourn-Bissaoui, 2006, 2008). Participants also performed a second-order false-belief task (Baron-Cohen, 1989) and Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure test. Ten adolescents with AS and 10 typically developing controls matched for age, sex and verbal IQ took part in the study. Results indicated that the individuals with AS had greater difficulty in detecting ambiguity than the controls and that this difficulty could be partially related to a WCC or to second-order false-belief misunderstanding. The findings are discussed in the light of the multiple deficits account and the role of executive functions.

Are children with Asperger syndrome creative in divergent thinking and feeling? A brief report / Meng-Jung LIU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-1 (January-March 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 5-1 (January-March 2011) . - p.294-298 Titre : Are children with Asperger syndrome creative in divergent thinking and feeling? A brief report Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Meng-Jung LIU, Auteur ; Wei-Lin SHIH, Auteur ; Le-Yin MA, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.294-298 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Creativity Special-interests Asperger-syndrome Weak-central-coherence Theory-of-mind Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigates whether children with Asperger syndrome (AS) show superior competence in creativity, and it examines the relationship between nonverbal creativity and nonverbal IQ and vocabulary size. Sixteen (16) children with AS and forty-two (42) typically developing peers completed the exercises in divergent thinking and feeling from a creativity assessment packet. The results revealed that the participants with AS scored significantly higher in originality and elaboration, compared to their peers. Nonverbal divergent thinking was correlated to nonverbal IQ for participants with AS. It was observed that participants with AS drew the 12 incomplete figures mostly in the areas which interest them. This result may indicate better performances in originality and lesser performances in flexibility. The study suggests that opportunities to develop expertise in the subjects in which they are absorbed may be necessary for children with AS.

Are Individuals with Autism and Asperger's Syndrome Susceptible to Visual Illusions ? / Danielle ROPAR in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 40-8 (November 1999)

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 40-8 (November 1999) . - p.1283-1293 Titre : Are Individuals with Autism and Asperger's Syndrome Susceptible to Visual Illusions ?

We investigated the phenomenon with a more sophisticated measure. In Experiment 1, individuals with autism, Asperger's syndrome, moderate learning difficulties, and typical development adjusted certain comparison lines and circles to make them appear to be the same size in four visual illusions. With a minor exception, the participants with autism and Asperger's syndrome evinced a systematic bias in their judgements in the illusion condition. The extent of this was no different from control participants. In a second experiment, a similar finding was obtained in a task where participants made verbal judgements about the stimuli. The results suggest that lower-level coherence in visual processing in autism is intact.

Attention to prosody (intonation) and content in children with autism and in typical children using spoken sentences in a computer game / Bertram O. PLOOG in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 3-3 (July-September 2009)

Nine typically developing children were also included. The children listened to pre-recorded sentences varying with respect to content (e.g., “Max ate a grape” vs. “Tom threw a ball”) and prosody (i.e., intonation of statement vs. question). During training, children learned to select one of two sentences differing in both content and prosody. At testing, children listened to stimuli consisting of recombinations of the content and prosodic features of the training stimuli. Testing performance indicated that the children with autism attended to the content and prosodic features of the training stimuli equally, whereas the children with typical development showed a clear preference for content over prosody. Both groups showed accurate discrimination of the training stimuli from the recombined test stimuli. The findings are interpreted in light of three approaches to explain the unusual attention patterns in autism: stimulus overselectivity, weak central coherence, and enhanced perceptual functioning.
