Despite the documented deficits in these areas, very little controlled research has evaluated treatments for remediation of EF or WM deficits in children with autism. This study examined the use of positive reinforcement for improving performance on Counting Span tasks which are said to measure the central-executive component of working memory. Large improvements in performance were obtained for all participants, as was maintenance and generalization to untrained stimuli and untrained responses. Results suggest that basic behavioral intervention procedures may be successful in improving performance on complex behaviors such as those labeled as “working memory.” En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rasd.2010.04.008 Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=111 [article] Addressing working memory in children with autism through behavioral intervention [Texte imprimé et/ou numérique] / Lisa BALTRUSCHAT, Auteur ; Dennis R.

Further analysis of the effects of positive reinforcement on working memory in children with autism / Lisa BALTRUSCHAT in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-2 (April-June 2011)

GOULD, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.855-863 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Executive functions  Working memory  Positive reinforcement  Central executive Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) often exhibit impaired executive function (EF) performance, including difficulty with working memory (WM), in particular. While research has documented the existence of these deficits, surprisingly little research exists that evaluates potential treatment strategies for improving EF or WM. One exception is a study that used positive reinforcement to improve performance on a classical WM task, the counting span, resulting in both maintenance and generalization (Baltruschat et al., 2011). The current study is the second in a programmatic line of research on behavioral intervention for improving WM in children with autism. This study extended the use of the same procedure (positive reinforcement) to another task which is said to measure WM, a Complex Span, and included three additional children with autism. Results demonstrated significant improvements in performance for each participant, including maintenance and generalization to untrained stimuli and untrained responses. These results provide further evidence that behavioral intervention procedures may be useful for improving skills labeled as EF or WM in children with ASD.
