Cognitive deficits and symbolic play in preschoolers with autism / Yan Grace LAM in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-1 (January-March 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-1 (January-March 2012) . - p.560-564 Titre : Cognitive deficits and symbolic play in preschoolers with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yan Grace LAM, Auteur ; Siu-sze Susanna YEUNG, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.560-564 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Symbolic play  Theory of mind  Central coherence  Executive functions  Preschoolers with autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigated symbolic play in 12 children with autism and 12 children with typical development and compared theories that consider either theory of mind, executive function or central coherence to be causally involved in the development of symbolic play in autism. Children with autism demonstrated significantly less symbolic play than their typically developing peers and had significant deficits in theory of mind and central coherence measures but not executive function measures. A tentative conclusion is that symbolic play deficits in autism are more associated with theory of mind and weak central coherence.

Towards a convergent account of pragmatic language deficits in children with high-functioning autism: Depicting the phenotype using the Pragmatic Rating Scale / Yan Grace LAM in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

The present study attempted to depict a relatively comprehensive profile of language pragmatics in children with high-functioning autism (HFA) using the Pragmatic Rating Scale (PRS). Pragmatic behaviors of 26 HFA children were contrasted with those of their normal counterparts. As predicted, the group with autism demonstrated substantial pragmatic difficulty when compared to their normal counterparts matched stringently on both verbal and non-verbal intelligence. The findings were discussed with relevance to lacking a “theory of mind”, weak central coherence and executive dysfunction.
