Increasing response variability in children with autism spectrum disorder using lag schedules of reinforcement / Clodagh MURRAY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-11 (November 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-11 (November 2013) . - p.1481-1488 Titre : Increasing response variability in children with autism spectrum disorder using lag schedules of reinforcement Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Clodagh MURRAY, Auteur ; Olive HEALY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1481-1488 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Response variability  Lag schedules  Reinforcement  U-Value statistic Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often present with deficits in variability in responding across multiple repertoires. However, research to date has resulted in little empirical evaluation of remediation strategies for such deficits. We investigated the effects of lag schedules of reinforcement on response variability using a computer-based task designed for the purpose of the study. The U-value statistic was used as a measure of variability in responding to determine if increasing the lag criterion would correspondingly increase levels of variability. Participants included children with ASD (Group 1) and neurotypical children (Group 2). Results showed that U-values were higher when reinforcement was contingent on increased variability, indicating the effectiveness of higher lag values on response variability. A significant difference in response variability between groups provided evidence for the disparity in such responding in children with ASD compared to their neurotypical peers. Group 1 showed consistently lower U-values than Group 2 indicating lower response variability. However, data from this study clearly show that lag schedules of reinforcement may be employed to increase response variability in ASD.

MCCARTHY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1461-1480 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Feeding disorders  Escape extinction  Physical guidance  Autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Escape extinction (EE) procedures, such as non-removal of the spoon (NRS) and physical guidance, have been shown to be effective for increasing the acceptance of previously refused foods in children with feeding disorders. NRS typically involves presenting a utensil at a child's lips until he/she accepts a bite/drink or until an arbitrary meal duration is met. As a result, some children may learn to “wait out” the meal duration thus avoiding bites/drinks altogether. Physical guidance procedures are implemented in a similar manner but also include physically guiding the child's mouth open by applying pressure on the mandibular joint (i.e., jaw prompt). In some cases, the jaw prompt may harm the child if too much pressure is applied to his/her face. Due to the limitations of these procedures we evaluated an alternative PG strategy by using a Nuk® brush to increase the acceptance of bites and drinks in two participants.

However, adolescents with ASDs may face age-specific challenges necessitating the need for contextually relevant and effective interventions. This systematic review examined peer-reviewed intervention research for adolescents (ages 12–21) with ASD. Electronic database searches and ancestral searches were used to identify studies published between 1980 and 2011. 102 studies were identified. A variety of interventions were implemented in these studies to address a wide range of targeted skills and behaviors. Reviewed studies were categorized into seven domains based on the skills and behaviors targeted: (a) social skills; (b) communication skills; (c) challenging behavior; (d) academic skills; (e) vocational skills; (f) independence and self-care; and (g) physical development. Results indicate that effective interventions exist in each category. These results are discussed in relation to participant characteristics, intervention effectiveness, social validity, generalization and maintenance. Generalization, maintenance, and social validity data were gathered in only 34%, 43%, and 31% of the articles, respectively. Additionally, few studies investigated interventions addressing communication, vocational or academic skills. Recommendations for future research are provided.

While the relationship between comorbid symptoms and factors such as autism symptom severity, IQ level, age, communication abilities, and degree of social impairment were previously examined, there has been limited research on the effect of race in this area. The current study examined the potential role of race in comorbid symptoms in toddlers with ASD and atypically developing toddlers without a diagnosis of ASD using The Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits – Part 2 (BISCUIT-Part 2). Based on the current findings, African-American toddlers evinced higher rates of comorbid symptoms than Caucasian toddlers and toddlers of other races. In addition, toddlers with ASD evinced higher rates of comorbid symptoms than atypically developing toddlers without a diagnosis of ASD. Implications regarding these findings are discussed.

This pilot randomized controlled trial investigated the effectiveness of a Functional Behavior Skills Training (FBST) program in improving children's performance on functional skills and communication, mitigating children's problem behaviors, and improving parents’ strain, sense of competence, and, knowledge of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Fifteen children with ASD who demonstrated early, learning skill impairments (ages between 38 and 82 months) were recruited from a community-based, IBI program or its waitlist. Children and their parents were randomized to a treatment group who, received FBST for four months or a control group who received their treatment as usual. Children who, received FBST improved on targeted functional skills and communication and demonstrated lower, levels of disruptive behavior. Meanwhile, parents who received FBST improved in their knowledge of, ABA. Overall, preliminary findings suggest that FBST is a feasible and promising behavioral, intervention for children with ASD who have early learning skill impairments. FBST promotes the, development of functional behavior and communication which can direct children onto a path of, appropriate skill development and meaningful interactions in the real world.

We examined these children's ability to understand mental terms representing true belief (i.e., zhi1dao4, know) and false belief (i.e., yi3wei2, thought) and compared their ability with that of typically developing (TD) children matched with age, and TD children matched with verbal mental age (VMA). Children were asked to participate in a game to find a toy according to the experimenter's testimony, which involved these mental terms. Results showed that all children from these three groups understood zhi1dao4 better than yi3wei2. Particularly, children with ASD performed statistically significantly worse in understanding mental terms than their age-matched TD children, but not differently from VMA-matched TD children. The understanding of mental verbs was correlated with the language ability of children with ASD, and with age, language ability and executive function of TD children. After controlling for the effects of age, general language ability, and executive functions, the group difference of mental verb understanding still existed.

In this study, we compared through qualitative and quantitative analyses performance on letter fluency (LF), category fluency (CF), and action fluency (AF) in adolescents and young adults with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders (HFASD) with that of an age-, gender-, and IQ-matched control group. Quantitative analyses revealed significantly fewer correct responses on category and action fluency and significantly more intrusions on category fluency in individuals with HFASD than in control participants. Qualitative analyses revealed significantly fewer semantic clusters and significantly more phonemic clusters during action fluency in individuals with HFASD compared to control participants. With respect to action fluency, the number of correct responses and clusters were related to verbal IQ for individuals with HFASD but not for control participants. We discuss these results in terms of abnormalities in semantic/phonemic strategy choice, cognitive flexibility, and generativity in ASD.

The study included 615 participants aged 18 months to 18 years age (mean = 49.8 months, SD = 28.4 months) diagnosed with ASD. Cognitive, adaptive and assessment of ASD were obtained using standardized tests. Detailed birth, familial, medical and developmental histories were obtained from the parents. Risk factors included ASD in the family (having a first-order family member with ASD); advanced maternal age (?35 years); advanced paternal age (?38 years); birth order (first-born versus third-born); low birth weight (LBW) (lt;2500 g); prematurity (gestational age lt;36 weeks). The M:F ratio (4.4:1) in the LBW group was lower than the M:F ratio (7.1:1) in the gt;2500 g group; however the difference showed only a statistical trend. No significant differences in M:F ratio were found between the ASD groups with and without the other examined risk factors. It is possible that the absence of a major association between most of the examined risk factors and sex representation points to the relatively minor role of these risk factors in ASD.

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-11 (November 2013) . - p.1391-1396 Titre : Inter-rater reliability of parent and preschool teacher ratings of language in children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anders NORDAHL-HANSEN, Auteur ; Anett KAALE, Auteur ; Stein Erik ULVUND, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1391-1396 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Language  Autism  Inter-rater reliability  MacArthur CDI  Parents  Preschool teachers Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Parent reports such as MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDIs) have been suggested as a measure of language in young children with autism since this group often score below base levels of direct tests. However, questions have been raised concerning the reliability of report-based assessments. Parents and preschool teachers filled out the CDI–Words amp; Gestures for 55 children diagnosed with autistic disorder. Inter-rater reliability analyses were done for the whole sample and a subgroup of minimally verbal children (n = 28). Further, potential over- or under-estimation, comparing the raters was analyzed. Results suggested excellent to fair inter-rater reliability between parent and preschool teacher. Parents tended to rate the children slightly higher than preschool teachers. However, the differences were small, and most likely due to contextual variations. These findings suggest that parents can be reliable sources of information about language abilities in children with autism. Therefore, when children are difficult to assess through direct tests, parent reports such as the CDI can be a good alternative.

The relationship of motor skills and adaptive behavior skills in young children with autism spectrum disorders / Megan MACDONALD in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-11 (November 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-11 (November 2013) . - p.1383-1390 Titre : The relationship of motor skills and adaptive behavior skills in young children with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Megan MACDONALD, Auteur ; Catherine LORD, Auteur ; Dale ULRICH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1383-1390 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Motor skills  Young children  Adaptive behavior Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractObjective To determine the relationship of motor skills and adaptive behavior skills in young children with autism. Design A multiple regression analysis tested the relationship of motor skills on the adaptive behavior composite, daily living, adaptive social and adaptive communicative skills holding constant age, non-verbal problem solving, and calibrated autism severity. Setting Majority of the data collected took place in an autism clinic. Participants A cohort of 233 young children with ASD (n = 172), PDD-NOS (n = 22) and non-ASD (developmental delay, n = 39) between the ages of 14–49 months were recruited from early intervention studies and clinical referrals. Children with non-ASD (developmental delay) were included in this study to provide a range of scores indicted through calibrated autism severity. Interventions Not applicable. Main outcome measures The primary outcome measures in this study were adaptive behavior skills. Results Fine motor skills significantly predicted all adaptive behavior skills (p lt; 0.01). Gross motor skills were predictive of daily living skills (p lt; 0.05). Children with weaker motor skills displayed greater deficits in adaptive behavior skills. Conclusions The fine and gross motor skills are significantly related to adaptive behavior skills in young children with autism spectrum disorder. There is more to focus on and new avenues to explore in the realm of discovering how to implement early intervention and rehabilitation for young children with autism and motor skills need to be a part of the discussion.

Participants in the current study were children and adolescents ages 3–17 years who were sorted into four groups: ASD on psychotropic medication (N = 100), ASD not on psychotropic medication (N = 147), typically developing on medication (N = 48), and typically developing not on medication (N = 168). A one-way multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was conducted to determine the relationship between medication use and rates of internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Post hoc analyses revealed that children with ASD on psychotropic medication evinced significantly more externalizing behaviors than children with ASD not on medication. However, the two groups did not significantly differ on rates of internalizing behaviors. These results suggest that psychotropic medications may often be prescribed to manage externalizing behaviors. Implications of these findings are discussed in relation to the existing literature.

The prevalence of clinical and subclinical anxiety as well as the correlates of anxiety were examined in three age groups of children: preschool, school age and adolescents. Findings showed that the prevalence of anxiety in each age group exceeded the prevalence of anxiety in the general population. Adolescents and school age children had the highest prevalence of clinical (40%) and subclinical anxiety (26%), respectively. Higher IQ and less ASD severity were each weakly correlated with more anxiety in preschool and school age children. Affective symptoms were strongly associated with anxiety in each age group. Age specific psychiatric comorbidities were also present. Anxiety was associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) symptoms in the preschool group, ODD and somatic symptoms in the school age children, and ADHD symptoms in adolescents. These data underscore the need for prevention and treatment of anxiety as well as research examining the characteristics of anxiety in children with ASD using a developmental framework.

Participants included 347 children ranging in age from 2 to 18 years old. Diagnostic categories in the current study were based upon clinical diagnosis. The severity of ASD symptomology was measured by the Autism Spectrum Disorder-Diagnostic Child Version (ASD-DC). The presence and severity of tantrum behaviors were measured by the Tantrum behavior subscale of the Autism Spectrum Disorders-Comorbidity for Children (ASD-CC). The influence of diagnosis and ASD symptomology had upon the expression of tantrum behaviors were examined, controlling for participant age. Initial analysis revealed significant differences in the expression of tantrum behavior between the ASD, ADHD and ASD/ADHD groups. However, age did not have a significant influence on the exhibition of tantrum behaviors. Follow-up analyses demonstrated that those individuals diagnosed with an ASD and a comorbid ADHD diagnosis exhibited significantly greater tantrum behavior. Post hoc analyses identified a significant positive correlation between increases in ASD symptomology and elevations of the severity of tantrum behaviors for each group. The observed correlation for the ADHD group was found to be significantly greater than the ASD group. Correlations for individual item responses of the ASD-CC were also computed and discussed for each diagnostic group.

The participants consisted of 30 children aged 6–18 years among which 24 had a clinical diagnosis of Asperger disorder or Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified and 6 had a clinical diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). All participants were verbally fluent and had IQ estimates of 80 or higher, determined with the Wechsler Nonverbal Scale of Ability (WNV). Forward and backward translation of the CARS2-HF and the Childhood Autism Rating Scale Second Edition, Questionnaire for Parents or Caregivers (CARS2-QPC) was completed before the administration of the scales. The results of this study showed that the Lebanese CARS2-HF has a high degree of internal consistency (.92), inter-rater reliability (.97), and test–retest reliability (.99). Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis determined that individuals with total raw scores below 26 are less likely – to be in the autism spectrum. This instrument can be used in screening and assessing for ASD in high-functioning Lebanese and Arab speaking individuals.

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-11 (November 2013) . - p.1323-1331 Titre : Siblings of children with autism: Predictors of adjustment Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tessa L. HESSE, Auteur ; Christina M. DANKO, Auteur ; Karen S. BUDD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1323-1331 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adjustment  Siblings  Autism spectrum disorder  Parents  Sibling adjustment  Parent satisfaction Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract As the prevalence of autism increases, so does the need to examine the effects of autism on family members of children with autism. The current study evaluated possible predictors of adjustment in siblings of children with autism. Aspects of the parents’ functioning as caregivers for a child with autism were examined to determine whether they predicted the adjustment of the child's sibling. Two hundred caregivers of 4–10-year-old children with autism who had at least one sibling without autism participated by filling out questionnaires online. Parental satisfaction with the role of caregiver for the child with autism was negatively correlated with difficulties in sibling adjustment, and it was the only significant predictor of sibling adjustment in a hierarchical regression analysis. Parental stress and parental self-efficacy were not unique contributors to sibling adjustment when other parental variables were considered. No significant relationship was found between parental therapy involvement and sibling adjustment, or between parental educational involvement and sibling adjustment. The lack of parental involvement as a predictor of sibling adjustment adds new findings to the current literature, which had found such a relationship in a previous study with a smaller sample.

Family hardiness, social support, and self-efficacy in mothers of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Jonathan A. WEISS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-11 (November 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-11 (November 2013) . - p.1310-1317 Titre : Family hardiness, social support, and self-efficacy in mothers of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jonathan A.

The current study examined family hardiness, perceived social support and parent self-efficacy as predictors of family distress in 138 mothers of individuals with ASD, 4–41 years of age. Using a multiple mediation analysis, we demonstrated that perceived self-efficacy and social support mediated the link between the pile-up of stressors and family hardiness, and that hardiness was a partial mediator in explaining how stressors were associated with family distress. Researchers and clinicians should consider the role that perceived social support and parent self-efficacy play in explaining family hardiness, and how the perception of such hardiness is associated with less distress.

Fourteen participants were randomly assigned to two groups. One group received training on-site and the other group received training via videoconference. The participants in both groups received 3× 15 min of training on three different teaching programs: matching, receptive and expressive labeling. The results showed no significant differences between the groups in the post-test whilst both groups improved significantly following training. Although preliminary, these results suggest that videoconferencing can be a cost-saving way to train staff in how to implement discrete trial teaching.

The Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits-Part 3: The development of age-based scoring procedures / Max HOROVITZ in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-11 (November 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-11 (November 2013) . - p.1291-1299 Titre : The Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits-Part 3: The development of age-based scoring procedures Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Max HOROVITZ, Auteur ; Johnny L. MATSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1291-1299 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : BISCUIT  Autism  ASD  Challenging behaviors  Cutoffs  Psychometric properties Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The objective of the current study was to develop age-based scoring procedures for the BISCUIT-Part 3, an assessment measure of challenging behaviors in infants and toddlers aged 17–37 months. Separate age-based cutoffs were developed for those with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and those with non-ASD related developmental delays, using the standard deviation from the mean method. The sample consisted of 3022 infants and toddlers and their parents. As age increased in those with ASD, higher cutoff scores were required. Less variation was seen in the cutoff scores established for those with non-ASD related delays. The findings suggest that as children with ASD grow older, challenging behaviors become more frequent and severe. Additionally, they become easier to detect in comparison to same-aged peers. The implications of these results are discussed.
