Results showed a threat-related evaluation bias in clinically anxious but not in nonanxious children. In anxious participants, automatic evaluations of anxiety-relevant stimuli were more negative than those of negative stimuli. In nonanxious participants, evaluations of negative and anxiety-relevant stimuli did not differ. Furthermore, anxious youth had stronger negative evaluations of anxiety-relevant stimuli than nonanxious children. Automatic evaluations of positive, neutral, and negative stimuli did not differ between groups. Threat-related evaluations were predictive of parent-reported, but not child-reported, anxiety.

Developmental aspects of error and high-conflict-related brain activity in pediatric obsessive–compulsive disorder: a fMRI study with a Flanker task before and after CBT / Chaim HUYSER in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 52-12 (December 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 52-12 (December 2011) . - p.1251-1260 Titre : Developmental aspects of error and high-conflict-related brain activity in pediatric obsessive–compulsive disorder: a fMRI study with a Flanker task before and after CBT Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Chaim HUYSER, Auteur ; Dick J. VELTMAN, Auteur ; Lidewij H. WOLTERS, Auteur ; Else DE HAAN, Auteur ; Frits BOER, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.1251-1260 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background:  Heightened error and conflict monitoring are considered central mechanisms in obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) and are associated with anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) function. Pediatric obsessive–compulsive patients provide an opportunity to investigate the development of this area and its associations with psychopathology. Methods:  Repeated measures were carried out using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during the performance of an interference task, the arrow version of the Flanker paradigm, before and after cognitive-behavioral treatment of 25 medication-free pediatric obsessive–compulsive patients compared with age- and gender-matched healthy controls. Results:  During error trials compared to correct trials, pediatric OCD patients and controls showed an interaction effect of Group × Time × Age in the ACC and insula. This effect was mainly driven by an increased activation in older OCD subjects, which was also present after treatment. During high-conflict trials compared with low-conflict trials, a Group × Time × Age interaction effect was found in bilateral insula. This effect was driven by an increase of BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal in older OCD patients before but not after treatment. In addition, a Group × Time interaction effect in dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, premotor region and ACC was found. This effect was driven by an increase of BOLD signal in OCD subjects relative to controls over time. Conclusions:  Compared to healthy controls, children and adolescents with OCD show increased activation of the ACC during error responses and in bilateral insular cortex during high-conflict tasks, which is age dependent and which is only partially affected by cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Therefore, we suggest that ACC functioning is a vulnerability marker in pediatric OCD, whereas insular dysfunction may be state dependent.

Effects and Moderators of a Short Theory of Mind Intervention for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Trial / Sander BEGEER in Autism Research, 8-6 (December 2015)

KOOT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.738-748 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  treatment  randomized controlled trial  theory of mind  moderator Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Limited perspective taking or “Theory of Mind” (ToM) abilities are a core deficit of autism, and many interventions are aimed to improve ToM abilities. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of a ToM treatment for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and, for the first time, the moderating roles of social interaction style (SIS) and disruptive behavior (DB), to determine which children are most likely to respond to this intervention. The trial protocol is registered at www.trialregister.nl, trial number 2327 and published before the data collection was finished (www.trialsjournal.com). Children with autism aged 7–12 years (n = 97) were randomized over a waitlist control or a treatment condition. Outcome measures included ToM and emotion understanding, parent and teacher questionnaires on children's social skills, ToM-related social behavior, and autistic traits. Six-month follow-up parent reported data were collected for the treatment group. The treatment had a positive effect on ToM understanding, parent-reported ToM behavior, and autistic traits, but not on parent or teacher-reported social behavior. Passive SIS was associated with diminished treatment effects on autistic traits, but DB was unrelated to outcomes. The ToM intervention improved conceptual social understanding and ToM-related behavior of children with ASD. However, broader application of learned skills to other domains of functioning was limited. Individual differences with regard to treatment response are discussed.

Temperament, Attentional Processes, and Anxiety: Diverging Links Between Adolescents With and Without Anxiety Disorders? / Leentje VERVOORT in Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology, 40-1 (January-February 2011)

HARTMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.144-155 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The present study first examined the links between reactive temperament (negative affectivity), regulative temperament (effortful control [EC]) and internalizing problems in adolescents (12-18 years) with anxiety disorders (ANX; N = 39) and without anxiety disorders (nANX; N = 35). Links differed between ANX and nANX participants. Negative affectivity predicted internalizing problems, with almost no role of EC in nANX, but a protective role of EC was found in ANX youth. Second, we investigated the role of attentional bias as a mediator between temperament and internalizing problems. Strategic threat-related bias was predicted by initial attention and EC, but these relations differed in both groups. In nANX participants, higher initial bias scores were predictive for lower strategic bias scores and higher levels of EC were associated with higher bias scores. In ANX participants, there was almost no effect of initial bias or EC on strategic attention. Internalizing problems were predicted by strategic attention, but again differently in ANX and nANX participants. High strategic bias scores were associated with an increase in anxiety in ANX and a decrease in anxiety in nANX participants.

The effectiveness of an attention-based intervention for school-aged autistic children with anger regulating problems: A randomized controlled trial / Pamela CLIFFORD in Autism Research, 15-10 (October 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 15-10 (October 2022) . - p.1971-1984 Titre : The effectiveness of an attention-based intervention for school-aged autistic children with anger regulating problems: A randomized controlled trial Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Pamela CLIFFORD, Auteur ; Carolien GEVERS, Auteur ; Kim M.

We investigated if attention-based cognitive behavioral treatment, based on mindfulness cognitive therapy (MBCT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), reduces aggressive behavior and improves anger coping in school-aged autistic children (n = 51). Children were randomized to an active-control or a treatment condition. The treatment included nine weekly sessions attention-based individual therapy. Parents in both conditions received three weekly psychoeducation group sessions to heighten awareness of expressed emotion (EE). For aggressive behavior, treatment reduced temper tantrums and arguing. No effect was found on destroying things and physical violence. For anger coping, treatment increased adaptive coping strategies of diffusion and social support seeking, but had no effect on assertion, rumination, and maladaptive coping direct anger out and avoidance. Treatment did not impact secondary outcome measures concerning children's quality of life (QoL) and parental stress-levels and psychological well-being. In conclusion, school-aged autistic children are able to acquire self-regulation skills reducing temper tantrums and arguing and increasing the use of adaptive anger coping strategies. The intervention shows potential to improve behavior and regulation, but little transfer to other domains. Limitations and future directions involving the child's social environment, including parents, siblings, and teachers are discussed. LAY SUMMARY: Children on the autism spectrum often show aggressive behavior. Treatment can train children to be more aware of their emotions. This study found that this can help reducing temper tantrums and arguing and increasing some coping skills, though no impact was found on several other domains of aggression and coping.
