Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 84 (June 2021) . - 101771 Titre : Investigating attention in young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using change blindness and eye tracking Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Michal HOCHHAUSER, Auteur ; Adi ARAN, Auteur ; Ouriel GRYNSZPAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101771 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Change blindness  Eye tracking  Social interaction  Young adults Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Social interaction at its core entails allocating attention to relevant stimuli. As such, the perception of change requires attention, but studies have suggested that the social impairment in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) occurs at the attentual level of "on-line" social cognition. Method Forty-four young adults—22 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 22 with typical development (TD)—participated in two experiments. The first used a change blindness (CB) paradigm where attention was investigated through the detection of changed items with central and marginal levels of interest when viewing images of everyday scenarios. Eye-tracking was used to compare response times, first fixations and total fixation time on changes. The second used social films with eye tracking of gaze fixations. Results Participants with ASD were slower in response time and first fixation than were participants with TD. Participants with TD showed longer fixation on items with marginal (compared to central) levels of interest. The social-film experiment showed that participants with ASD were slower to orient their gazes towards the characters’ faces and looked at speaking characters for less time than did the group with TD. This result correlates with less use of mental verbs in their narratives and less time spent looking at marginal items in the CB experiment. Conclusions Results suggest reduced processing speed in young adults with ASD, which is associated with enhanced processing of local details. Clinically, these results imply that teaching strategies (e.g., cognitive cues) to process social context efficiently could benefit individuals with ASD.

Negotiation strategies of adolescents with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder during social conflicts / Michal HOCHHAUSER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 10 (February 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 10 (February 2015) . - p.7-14 Titre : Negotiation strategies of adolescents with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder during social conflicts Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Michal HOCHHAUSER, Auteur ; P. L. WEISS, Auteur ; E. GAL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.7-14 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescents with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD)  Conflict  Negotiation strategies Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigated the differences between negotiation strategies of adolescents with high functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD) and typically developing adolescents. Twenty-one adolescents with HFASD and 27 typically developing adolescents, matched on age, school year and gender distribution, completed negotiation strategy and conflict resolution questionnaires designed to measure the negotiation factors and the conflict resolution styles used during conflict situations. The participants with HFASD reported fewer negotiation skills as reflected by lower self-confidence, lower cooperation, less communication and fewer compromise skills. The decreased use of negotiation strategies by adolescents with HFASD may be related to their difficulty in attributing mental states to others, and may impact their ability to deal with social conflicts and create positive interactions and rewarding relationships.

Sensory processing abilities and their relation to participation in leisure activities among children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD) / Michal HOCHHAUSER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 4-4 (October-December 2010)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 4-4 (October-December 2010) . - p.746-754 Titre : Sensory processing abilities and their relation to participation in leisure activities among children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD) Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Michal HOCHHAUSER, Auteur ; Batya ENGEL-YEGER, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.746-754 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Leisure-activities Participation Sensory-processing Children Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with autism may have atypical sensory processing abilities, which are known to impact child's performance and participation. However, lack of information exists regarding the expression of these abilities in specific groups on the spectrum, as children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD). This study aimed to characterize the sensory processing abilities of children with HFASD and examine their relationship to participation in leisure activities. Participants were 50 children aged 6–11 years: 25 children with HFASD and 25 with typical development. Sensory processing abilities were examined by the short sensory profile (SSP). Participation was assessed by the children's assessment of participation and enjoyment (CAPE). Children with HFASD had atypical sensory processing abilities. They also had lower participation in leisure activities expressed in limited range of activities, performed less often, mainly alone and at home. Their atypical sensory processing patterns were correlated with lower participation, specifically in social, physical and informal activities. In conclusion, children with HFASD may have atypical sensory processing abilities and restricted participation. Intervention should refer to each of these parameters and to the relationship between them in order to enable optimal inclusion of children with HFASD in society.
