Eye movements during processing of text requiring bridging inferences in adolescents with higher functioning autism spectrum disorders: A preliminary investigation / Frank J. SANSOSTI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-12 (December 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-12 (December 2013) . - p.1535-1542 Titre : Eye movements during processing of text requiring bridging inferences in adolescents with higher functioning autism spectrum disorders: A preliminary investigation Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Frank J. SANSOSTI, Auteur ; Christopher WAS, Auteur ; Katherine A. RAWSON, Auteur ; Brittany L. REMAKLUS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1535-1542 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Eye-tracking  Eye-movements  Bridging inferences  Text comprehension Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract In this study, 18 children with higher functioning autism (HFASD) and 16 controls read short, two-sentence passages that necessitated a bridging inference for comprehension and responded to a general knowledge question that was either primed or unprimed by the inference. We measured mean reading times and correct responses to knowledge questions, as well as recorded the eye-movements of the participants while reading. Analysis of reaction times to general knowledge questions were faster for questions in relevant context as compared to those in irrelevant contexts, suggesting that children with HFASD were able to build the bridging inferences necessary for comprehension. Eye-movement data revealed that children with HFASD spent more time fixating on text, made more fixations overall, and made more regressions (i.e., moving backward within the text) while reading than did controls. Implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are offered.

Family Experiences Through the Autism Diagnostic Process / Frank J. SANSOSTI in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 27-2 (June 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 27-2 (June 2012) . - p.81-92 Titre : Family Experiences Through the Autism Diagnostic Process Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Frank J. SANSOSTI, Auteur ; Katherine B. LAVIK, Auteur ; Jenine M. SANSOSTI, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.81-92 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  diagnosis  family experiences  disproportionality Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The primary aim of this study was to investigate common family experiences during the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnostic process, and the child and family variables that may relate to different diagnostic outcomes. A secondary aim of this study was to evaluate families’ knowledge of the research support for various interventions. To investigate these two foci, 16 families of children aged 7 years and younger with an ASD provided information pertaining to their experiences during the diagnostic process. Results indicated that families reported a 2-year lag between first noticing delays in their children’s behavior and the receipt of the diagnosis, a delay that was significantly longer for children of African American and mixed racial backgrounds. Moreover, families whose children were diagnosed at a later age were less satisfied with the diagnostic process. Families appeared to have an adequate understanding of research-based interventions. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
