An Evaluation of Early Development in Children with Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorders from Home Movies: Preliminary Findings / Paola BERNABEI in Autism, 2-3 (September 1998)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 2-3 (September 1998) . - p.243-258 Titre : An Evaluation of Early Development in Children with Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorders from Home Movies: Preliminary Findings Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paola BERNABEI, Auteur ; Luigia CAMAIGNI, Auteur ; Gabriel LEVI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.243-258 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Family videos of 10 children later diagnosed as having autism or pervasive developmental disorders were analysed using a newly devised instrument. The checklist comprises 3 0 individual items and 20 functional categories. It evaluates behaviours in three areas: social interaction, communication and language, functional and symbolic play. The age range covered by home movies was divided into four periods (0-6, 6-12, 12-18 and 18-24 months) and analysed accordingly.The checklist data allow for the derivation of a general developmental profile as well as individual profiles. The most common profile was one in which children made progress from the first to the second or third age period, whereas from the second or third to the fourth period they showed a loss of previously mastered behaviours. The loss was statistically significant in socio-interactive behaviours, less evident in communication/language, and moderate in the area of action schemes and play. Mutual attention (dyadic eye contact), attachment behaviours, emotional reactions and vocalizations were present in almost all the children studied. On the other hand, communicative gestures (pointing, showing, ritualized requests), pretend play and conventional social games were rarely observed. The implications of these results for early diagnosis as well as for theories of early development in autism and severe developmental disorders are briefly discussed.

Explaining metaphors in high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder children: A brief report / Sergio MELOGNO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-2 (April-June 2012) . - p.683-689 Titre : Explaining metaphors in high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder children: A brief report Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sergio MELOGNO, Auteur ; Caterina D’ARDIA, Auteur ; Maria Antonietta PINTO, Auteur ; Gabriel LEVI, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.683-689 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : High-functioning ASD  Metaphor comprehension  Semantic processing  Delay  Atypical behaviors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigated metaphor comprehension in a group of 24 Italian high-functioning ASD children (mean age: 8.5 y.). Children were administered a test that was composed of ‘sensorial metaphors’, which are understood by normally developing preschoolers, that the children had to verbally explain. Two normally developing control groups, which were composed of 5- and 6-year olds, were recruited as well, as the highest age for this test is 6 years. A one-way ANOVA applied to the four scores from the test showed a partial delay in the ASD group with respect to the 6-year-old control group, but not with respect to the 5-year-old control group. The ASD group showed some capabilities in metaphor processing; however, there were also some atypical behaviors that suggest that ASD children process metaphorical stimuli in a particular way.

Metaphor and metonymy in ASD children: A critical review from a developmental perspective / Sergio MELOGNO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-4 (October-December 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-4 (October-December 2012) . - p.1289-1296 Titre : Metaphor and metonymy in ASD children: A critical review from a developmental perspective Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sergio MELOGNO, Auteur ; Maria Antonietta PINTO, Auteur ; Gabriel LEVI, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.1289-1296 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Metaphor  Metonymy  ASD children  Development  Review Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The aim of the present article is to critically review the experimental research in the domain of metaphor and metonymy competencies in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) children. After providing some basic definitions of metaphor and metonymy, we consider some major points emerging from studies on metaphorical and metonymical competencies in typical child development. Then, we review a number of emblematic studies concerning the relationship between autism and metaphor and metonymy, starting from the pioneering clinical studies by Kanner and Asperger in the 1940s. We also critically analyze experimental research on these same topics starting from the 1990s. The discussion highlights some major points emerging from recent experimental research and outlines possible perspectives for future research.
