In the first study of its kind, 94 adolescents with an ASD and 55 without an ASD completed measures of everyday memory from the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test (RBMT) and a standard word recall task (Children’s Auditory Verbal Learning Test-2: CAVLT-2). The ASD group showed significant impairments on the RBMT, including in prospective memory, alongside impaired performance on the CAVLT-2. Social and communication ability was significantly associated with prospective remembering in an everyday memory context but not with the CAVLT-2. The complex nature of everyday memory and its relevance to ASD is discussed.

A multimodal approach to emotion recognition ability in autism spectrum disorders / Catherine R. G. JONES in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 52-3 (March 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 52-3 (March 2011) . - p.275-285 Titre : A multimodal approach to emotion recognition ability in autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Catherine R.

However, experimental investigations of emotion recognition ability in ASD have been equivocal, hampered by small sample sizes, narrow IQ range and over-focus on the visual modality. Methods:  We tested 99 adolescents (mean age 15;6 years, mean IQ 85) with an ASD and 57 adolescents without an ASD (mean age 15;6 years, mean IQ 88) on a facial emotion recognition task and two vocal emotion recognition tasks (one verbal; one non-verbal). Recognition of happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust were tested. Using structural equation modelling, we conceptualised emotion recognition ability as a multimodal construct, measured by the three tasks. We examined how the mean levels of recognition of the six emotions differed by group (ASD vs. non-ASD) and IQ (≥ 80 vs. < 80). Results:  We found no evidence of a fundamental emotion recognition deficit in the ASD group and analysis of error patterns suggested that the ASD group were vulnerable to the same pattern of confusions between emotions as the non-ASD group. However, recognition ability was significantly impaired in the ASD group for surprise. IQ had a strong and significant effect on performance for the recognition of all six emotions, with higher IQ adolescents outperforming lower IQ adolescents. Conclusions:  The findings do not suggest a fundamental difficulty with the recognition of basic emotions in adolescents with ASD.

No evidence for a fundamental visual motion processing deficit in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders / Catherine R. G. JONES in Autism Research, 4-5 (October 2011)

However, previous investigations have yielded mixed results. In the largest study of its kind (ASD n = 89; non-ASD = 52; mean age 15 years 6 months) and testing across the spectrum of IQ (range 52–133), we investigated performance on three measures of basic visual processing: motion coherence, form-from-motion and biological motion (BM). At the group level, we found no evidence of differences between the two groups on any of the tasks, suggesting that there is no fundamental visual motion processing deficit in individuals with an ASD, at least by adolescence. However, we identified a tail of individuals with ASD (18% of the sample) who had exceptionally poor BM processing abilities compared to the non-ASD group, and who were characterized by low IQ. For the entire sample of those both with and without ASD, performance on the BM task uniquely correlated with performance on the Frith–Happé animations, a higher-level task that demands the interpretation of moving, interacting agents in order to understand mental states. We hypothesize that this association reflects the shared social–cognitive characteristics of the two tasks, which have a common neural underpinning in the superior temporal sulcus.

The association between theory of mind, executive function, and the symptoms of autism spectrum disorder / Catherine R. G. JONES in Autism Research, 11-1 (January 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 11-1 (January 2018) . - p.95-109 Titre : The association between theory of mind, executive function, and the symptoms of autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Catherine R. G. JONES, Auteur ; Emily SIMONOFF, Auteur ; Gillian BAIRD, Auteur ; Andrew PICKLES, Auteur ; Anita J. S. MARSDEN, Auteur ; Jenifer TREGAY, Auteur ; Francesca HAPPE, Auteur ; Tony CHARMAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.95-109 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : It has been strongly argued that atypical cognitive processes in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) contribute to the expression of behavioural symptoms. Comprehensive investigation of these claims has been limited by small and unrepresentative sample sizes and the absence of wide?ranging task batteries. The current study investigated the cognitive abilities of 100 adolescents with ASD (mean age?=?15 years 6 months), using 10 tasks to measure the domains of theory of mind (ToM) and executive function (EF). We used structural equation modelling as a statistically robust way of exploring the associations between cognition and parent?reported measures of social communication and restricted and repetitive behaviours (RRBs). We found that ToM ability was associated with both social communication symptoms and RRBs. EF was a correlate of ToM but had no direct association with parent?reported symptom expression. Our data suggest that in adolescence ToM ability, but not EF, is directly related to autistic symptom expression. Autism Res 2018, 11: 95–109. © 2017 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Lay Summary The behaviours that are common to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been linked to differences in thinking ability. We assessed autistic adolescents and found that social communication difficulties and the presence of restricted and repetitive behaviours related to difficulties in understanding other peoples’ minds (theory of mind). In contrast, these behaviours were not associated with the general thinking abilities involved in planning and executing tasks (executive function).
