A comparison of measures for assessing the level and nature of intelligence in verbal children and adults with autism spectrum disorder / Kimberly E. BODNER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-11 (November 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-11 (November 2014) . - p.1434-1442 Titre : A comparison of measures for assessing the level and nature of intelligence in verbal children and adults with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kimberly E. BODNER, Auteur ; Diane L. WILLIAMS, Auteur ; Christopher R. ENGELHARDT, Auteur ; Nancy J. MINSHEW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1434-1442 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  High-functioning  Intelligence  Wechsler  Raven's Progressive Matrices  Cognition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previous work has suggested that the Raven's Progressive Matrices (RPM) are better suited for capturing the nature of intelligence for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) than the Wechsler scales. The RPM measures ‘fluid intelligence’, an area for which it has been argued that persons with ASD have a relative strength. Given that measures of intelligence are used for establishing clinical diagnoses, for making educational decisions, and for group-matching in research studies, continued examination of this contention is warranted. In the current study, verbal children with ASD performed moderately better on the RPM than on the Wechsler scales; children without ASD received higher percentile scores on the Wechsler than on the RPM. Adults with and without ASD received higher percentile scores on the Wechsler than the RPM. Results suggest that the RPM and Wechsler scales measure different aspects of cognitive abilities in verbal individuals with ASD. For the verbal children and adults with ASD in the current study, the RPM and Wechsler scales have unique contributions that must be considered in context when establishing a baseline of cognitive function. The results of this investigation highlight the importance of thoughtfully selecting appropriate measures of intelligence consistent with clinical, educational, and research purposes, especially for verbal children and adults with ASD.

Making Inferences: Comprehension of Physical Causality, Intentionality, and Emotions in Discourse by High-Functioning Older Children, Adolescents, and Adults with Autism / Kimberly E. BODNER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-9 (September 2015)

Important variables for intervention planning such as whether inferences depend on physical experiences or the nature of social information have received less consideration. A measure of bridging inferences of physical causation, mental states, and emotional states was administered to older children, adolescents, and adults with and without ASD. The ASD group had more difficulty making inferences, particularly related to emotional understanding. Results suggest that individuals with ASD may not have the stored experiential knowledge that specific inferences depend upon or have difficulties accessing relevant experiences due to linguistic limitations. Further research is needed to tease these elements apart.

Video game access, parental rules, and problem behavior: A study of boys with autism spectrum disorder / Christopher R. ENGELHARDT in Autism, 18-5 (July 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 18-5 (July 2014) . - p.529-537 Titre : Video game access, parental rules, and problem behavior: A study of boys with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Christopher R.

MAZUREK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.529-537 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  in-room media  oppositional behavior  video game rules  video games Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Environmental correlates of problem behavior among individuals with autism spectrum disorder remain relatively understudied. The current study examined the contribution of in-room (i.e. bedroom) access to a video game console as one potential correlate of problem behavior among a sample of 169 boys with autism spectrum disorder (ranging from 8 to 18 years of age). Parents of these children reported on (1) whether they had specific rules regulating their child’s video game use, (2) whether their child had in-room access to a variety of screen-based media devices (television, computer, and video game console), and (3) their child’s oppositional behaviors. Multivariate regression models showed that in-room access to a video game console predicted oppositional behavior while controlling for in-room access to other media devices (computer and television) and relevant variables (e.g. average number of video game hours played per day). Additionally, the association between in-room access to a video game console and oppositional behavior was particularly large when parents reported no rules on their child’s video game use. The current findings indicate that both access and parental rules regarding video games warrant future experimental and longitudinal research as they relate to problem behavior in boys with autism spectrum disorder.

Video game use and problem behaviors in boys with autism spectrum disorders / Micah O. MAZUREK in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-2 (February 2013)

Although problematic video game use has been associated with behavior problems among typically developing children, the relationship between these variables has not been previously examined among children with ASD. The current study examined the relationships between aspects of video game use and problem behaviors among a sample of 169 boys (ages 8'18) with ASD. Parents reported on their children's behavioral functioning and video game habits and preferences, including the average number of hours spent playing video games per day, preferred game types (genres), and problematic (i.e., addictive) video game play patterns. The results revealed that problematic video game use was significantly correlated with inattention and oppositional behavior. Boys who played Role-Playing games had higher levels of both problematic game use and oppositional behavior. Finally, problematic game use and Role-Playing game genre were significant predictors of oppositional behavior, even when controlling for age and amount of time spent playing video games. The results highlight the clinical importance of examining video game use patterns among children with ASD, and indicate a need for future experimental and longitudinal research in this area.
