Assessing 'coherence' in the spoken narrative accounts of autistic people: A systematic scoping review / Anna HARVEY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 102 (April 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 102 (April 2023) . - p.102108 Titre : Assessing 'coherence' in the spoken narrative accounts of autistic people: A systematic scoping review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anna HARVEY, Auteur ; Helen SPICER-CAIN, Auteur ; Nicola BOTTING, Auteur ; Gemma RYAN, Auteur ; Lucy HENRY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102108 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Narrative  Coherence  Macrostructure  Story grammar Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The ability to produce a well-structured, coherent narrative account is essential for successful everyday communication. Research suggests that autistic people may find this challenging, and that narrative assessment can reveal pragmatic difficulties in this population that are missed on sentence-level tasks. Previous studies have used different methodologies to assess spoken narrative skills in autism. This review systematically examined these approaches and considered their utility for assessing narrative coherence. Method Keyword database searches were conducted, with records screened by two independent reviewers. Eligible studies (n = 59) included specified frameworks for evaluating structure/coherence in spoken narrative accounts by autistic participants of any age. Studies were categorised according to the type of narrative scoring scheme used, and strengths and limitations were considered. Results Over 80% of included articles reported observational cross-sectional studies, with participants generally matched on age and cognitive ability with non-autistic comparison groups. The most common approaches involved coding key elements of narrative structure ('story grammar') or scoring the inclusion of pre-determined 'main events'. Alternative frameworks included 'holistic' rating scales and subjective quality judgements by listeners. Some studies focused specifically on 'coherence', measuring diverse aspects such as causal connectedness and incongruence. Scoring criteria varied for each type of framework. Conclusions Findings indicated that solely assessing story structure ignores important features contributing to the coherence of spoken narrative accounts. Recommendations are that future research consider the following elements: (1) context, (2) chronology, (3) causality, (4) congruence, (5) characters (cognition/emotion), and (6) cohesion; and scoring methods should include rating scales to obtain sufficiently detailed information about narrative quality.

Emotional health in adolescents with and without a history of specific language impairment (SLI) / Gina CONTI-RAMSDEN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 49-5 (May 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 49-5 (May 2008) . - p.516-525 Titre : Emotional health in adolescents with and without a history of specific language impairment (SLI) Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Gina CONTI-RAMSDEN, Auteur ; Nicola BOTTING, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.516-525 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Emotional-health adolescents specific-language-impairment-(SLI) anxiety depression Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Objective: This study examined the emotional health of adolescents with and without specific language impairment (SLI). Method: One hundred and thirty-nine adolescents with a history of SLI (15;10 years) and a peer group of 124 adolescents with normal language development (NLD) (15;11 years) participated, who were in their final year of compulsory schooling. The risk of emotional difficulties was assessed using the Moods and Feelings Questionnaire (MFQ) and the Child Manifest Anxiety Scale-R (CMAS-R). Comprehensive language and cognition data were available for all participants (NLD and SLI) concurrently and also longitudinally for those with SLI. Results: A clear increased risk of emotional health symptoms was found for the SLI group on both self- and parental-report. Girls scored less favourably than boys when groups were combined, but these were due to the effect of the NLD group, with no gender differences found in the SLI group. Direct links with language and cognition were not obvious. Instead, more diffuse factors such as family history of emotional health difficulties may warrant further investigation. Conclusion: There is a marked higher rate of anxiety and depression symptoms in adolescents with SLI. However, these do not appear to be a direct result of impoverished communicative experiences.
