Discriminating which fork to use: Teaching selective imitation to people with autism / Ann K. BROWN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2-2 (April-June 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 2-2 (April-June 2008) . - p.199-208 Titre : Discriminating which fork to use: Teaching selective imitation to people with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ann K. BROWN, Auteur ; John L. BROWN, Auteur ; Claire L. POULSON, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.199-208 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Generalized-imitation Imitation Observing-response Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Little empirical research has focused on teaching of imitation to learners with autism in ordinary environments. Typically-developing individuals imitate the behavior of others in ordinary social environments. One possible reason that learners with autism do not imitate in ordinary environments is they are not observing relevant discriminative stimuli that should set the occasion for imitative responding. This paper will review the operant research on generalized imitation with the goal of identifying procedures to teach learners with autism to imitate in ordinary environments. A stimulus-control account of imitation in ordinary environments is included with the goal of the development of effective teaching procedures. Imitation in ordinary environments is discussed in relation to the discriminative stimuli that occasion imitative responding. The use of differential observing responses to increase discrimination of relevant stimuli in ordinary environments is suggested as a possible strategy to increase imitation among individuals with autism in ordinary environments.

The central coherence account of autism revisited: Evidence from the ComFor study / Ilse L.J. NOENS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2-2 (April-June 2008)

VAN BERCKELAER-ONNES, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.209-222 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Central-coherence Perception Local Global Autism Intellectual-disability Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : According to the central coherence account, people with autism have a tendency to focus on local rather than global processing. However, there is considerable controversy about the locus of the weak drive for central coherence. Some studies support enhanced bottom–up processing, whereas others claim reduced top–down feedback. The results of the standardization study of the ComFor – a clinical instrument for the indication of augmentative communication, based on the central coherence account – were reviewed within the perspective of this debate. One hundred fifty-five individuals with intellectual disability and the autistic disorder were individually matched with 155 individuals with intellectual disability without the autistic disorder according to their level of daily living skills. The finding that individuals with the autistic disorder exhibit a higher discrepancy between the presentation and representation scores of the ComFor is consistent with expectations on the basis of the central coherence theory, but does not stipulate whether this is due to enhanced bottom–up or reduced top–down processing. Item level analyses, however, show that enhanced local processing emerges most clearly on those items whereby the establishment of meaning (global processing) is not supportive, suggesting that enhanced bottom–up processing and reduced global feedback are interconnected.

The participant's mother implemented modified functional analysis (FA) and intervention procedures in Kerri's home. A multiple probe design across activities was used to analyze intervention effectiveness. FCT with a VOCA successfully decreased Kerri's challenging behavior and increased VOCA use. A secondary analysis revealed that Kerri increased her use of correct pronouns. Kerri's mother implemented modified FA and intervention procedures with a high level of fidelity. Social validity data indicated that Kerri's mother believed the intervention to be acceptable and effective.

However, controversy around the nature of the disorder, whether it is distinct from high functioning autism, and whether it can be reliably and validly diagnosed has continued throughout this period unabated. Fortunately, there has been a strong tradition of developing systematic data based methods of differential diagnosis in the autism spectrum disorders. The bulk of the effort has been in autism, but there has been moderate, yet consistent efforts to develop data based methods to diagnose Asperger's syndrome as well.

Four children with autism were taught a sharing response chain. The treatment package (manual guidance, auditory prompts, and contingent access to toy play and social interaction with the recipient instructor) was introduced successively across participants in a multiple-baseline design. None of the participants engaged in the sharing response chain during baseline. Systematic increases in responding occurred for all four participants in the presence of training stimuli. In addition, there were systematic increases in responding to non-trained probe stimuli. Also, during pre- and post-test measures, the participants demonstrated sharing in the presence of peers in a non-training classroom containing non-trained toys. Furthermore, social validity measures indicated that judges scored more post-treatment responses than baseline responses as “sharing.” En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rasd.2007.06.006 Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=424 [article] The effects of forward chaining and contingent social interaction on the acquisition of complex sharing responses by children with autism [Texte imprimé et/ou numérique] / Jaime Ann DEQUINZIO, Auteur ; Dawn BUFFINGTON TOWNSEND, Auteur . - 2008 . - p.264-275.

Once considered rare, recent epidemiological data now suggests rates of up to 1 in 150 people. One of the most frequent of the ASD, Asperger's syndrome (AS), has been known as a disorder for as long as autism, which is easily the most visible of this group of conditions. Growing attention to and popularity of studying AS have made the nosology and diagnosis of the disorder a topic of growing concern in recent years. The purpose of this paper is to present an up-to-date analysis of the syndrome and the likelihood that it is actually a disorder distinct from high-functioning autism (HFA). This argument about how to diagnose people, either AS or HFA, hinges largely on the debate about whether distinct symptom patterns exist between AS and HFA and if AS can be reliably differentiated from HFA. A discussion of this topic, trends in research, and where the data appears to be leading diagnosticians is also presented, as well as research areas requiring further attention.

Four-year-old children with ASD (n = 18) and their age-matched normally developing peers (n = 18) were presented pairs of videotaped facial expressions accompanied by a single soundtrack matching the affect of one of the two facial expressions. In one block of trials, the emotions were portrayed by their mothers; in another block of trials, the same emotion pairs were portrayed by an unfamiliar woman. Findings showed that ASD children were able to detect the affective correspondence between facial and vocal expressions of emotion portrayed by their mothers, but not a stranger. Furthermore, in a control condition using inanimate objects and their sounds, ASD children also showed a preference for sound-matched displays. These results suggest that children with ASD do not have a general inability to detect intermodal correspondences between visual and vocal events, however, their ability to detect affective correspondences between facial and vocal expressions of emotions may be limited to familiar displays.

Staff training increased carer confidence, but there were no training effects of measures of staff coping, support or perceived control of challenging behaviors. Staff reports of service user challenging behavior management difficulties decreased in both the experimental and contrast groups.

Genetic and environmental influences on symptom domains in twins and siblings with autism / Carla A. MAZEFSKY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2-2 (April-June 2008)

This study explored the genetic and environmental bases of nonverbal communication and social interaction, two symptom domains that have also been related to treatment response, in 1294 child and adolescent twins and siblings with pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) from the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange under the age of 18. Twin/sibling resemblance was assessed through correlations and behavior genetic modeling of autism diagnostic interview (ADI) nonverbal communication and social scores. Variation in these phenotypes was explained by additive genetic, dominant genetic, and unique environmental factors with no evidence for shared environmental factors. Broad heritability estimates were higher for nonverbal communication (45%) than social interaction (28%). Nonverbal communication and social scores were partially accounted for by the same underlying genetic and environmental factors. Gender differences were not supported. These results add to information on familial resemblance of these symptom domains based on correlational methods, and this study is one of the first to apply behavioral genetic modeling to a PDD population. The results have implications for molecular genetics as well as treatment.

The effect of context on imitation skills in children with autism / Brooke R. INGERSOLL in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2-2 (April-June 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 2-2 (April-June 2008) . - p.332-340 Titre : The effect of context on imitation skills in children with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Brooke R.

Previous authors have suggested that they may have particular difficulty imitating in natural social interactions, but properly controlled experiments investigating this possibility have not been conducted. To investigate this possibility, children with autism and typically developing children were compared on a series of imitation tasks presented either in a structured-elicited or naturalistic-spontaneous condition. Modeled actions were counterbalanced across conditions. Results suggest children with autism imitated less than typically developing children overall; however, this difference was mainly evident when the imitation task was presented in a spontaneous context. In addition, they exhibited less coordinated joint attention during imitation than the typically developing children. These findings support the hypothesis that children with autism are particularly impaired in their ability to imitate spontaneously.

Increasing the use of empathic statements in the presence of a non-verbal affective stimulus in adolescents with autism / Paul ARGOTT in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2-2 (April-June 2008)

The present study is an attempt to teach such skills. Script-fading procedures have been used to teach other social-interaction skills, so they are applied here to teach empathic responding. This study included three adolescents with autism, two males and one female. A non-verbal affective stimulus was presented and students’ empathic responding was recorded. Data were collected on scripted and unscripted verbal statements of empathy in the presence of training discriminative stimuli and on unscripted verbal statements of empathy in the presence of non-training discriminative stimuli. A multiple-baseline-across-participants experimental design was used to assess the effectiveness of a script-fading procedure on increasing verbal statements of empathy. With the successive introduction of scripts and a script-fading procedure across participants, the percentage of opportunities on which scripted and unscripted statements of empathy occurred, in the presence of the training stimuli, increased systematically. Additionally, an increase in the percentage of opportunities on which an unscripted statement of empathy occurred in the presence of generalization stimuli was observed. These data show that adolescents with autism can learn to differentiate non-verbal affective stimuli and display differential empathic responses with behavioral interventions.

We examined the IQ profile scores of a large sample of children (n = 69) and adults (n = 77) with HFA, stringently diagnosed according to ADOS, ADI-R, and DSM-IV criteria, and a corresponding sample of typical child (n = 72) and adult controls (n = 107). At least one of the three primary components of the Wechsler pattern seen in NLD were found in 17–26% of the children and 20–32% of the adults with HFA. All three components occurred in slightly more than 5% of the children and adults with autism. Overall, the VIQ > PIQ profile seen in NLD occurred in 18% of the sample of individuals stringently diagnosed with HFA. Therefore, obtaining this IQ profile is not a valid clinical discriminator between NLD and HFA.

We demonstrated the effect of manipulating the schedule of reinforcement for a single high-rate mand on alternative concurrently available mands with two children with autism. Teachers conducted sessions in the participant's usual teaching environment. When the schedule value for all mands was FR1, a single mand occurred at a high rate while all other mands occurred at low rates for both participants and response variability was low. When the schedule of reinforcement for the high-rate mand increased to FR10 for one participant and to FR25 for the second participant, and all other mands remained on FR1 schedules, the high-rate mand decreased while the combined rate of all other mands increased.

While many studies have concentrated on examining patterns of behavior and development on the context of speaking and interacting, very few researchers have investigated the parameters of crying in infants with ASD. This finding is surprising since crying can be viewed as both the first communicative and social structure in human development. The aim of our study was to investigate how the crying of children with ASD, as opposed to children with intellectual disability (ID) was perceived. In particular, we tested a questionnaire to verify whether the atypical structure of autistic crying can bias parent perceptions. The atypical structure of autistic crying was highlighted. In autistic children, crying was inexplicable for their parents who could not identify causative factors. These results support the view of autism as related to a problem of expressing and sharing emotions. Parents’ reactions to autistic crying were qualitatively different from non-autistic children of the same age.
