Perception of the prosody and content of sentences in an unfamiliar language in children with autism spectrum disorders / Bertram O. PLOOG in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-7 (July 2014)

Using a discrimination-choice procedure embedded in a custom-made videogame, we examined attention to these features of sentences in 15 children with ASD (ages 5 years, 5 months–18 years) and 15 age-matched typical controls (TYP). Using an unfamiliar language (German) to remove semantics, we assessed the role of meaning in promoting attention to content over prosody. As in a previous study with English sentences, TYP children attended to content to a greater extent than children with ASD while maintaining equivalent levels of discrimination based on prosody. However, in contrast to previous results, TYP children did not show a preference for enthusiastic over grouchy tone of voice, which suggests that the unfamiliar language rendered affective valence less salient. The results confirm intact perception of prosody in children with ASD, and a more selective pattern of attention to content in TYP children.

Use of Computer-Assisted Technologies (CAT) to Enhance Social, Communicative, and Language Development in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Bertram O. PLOOG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 43-2 (February 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 43-2 (February 2013) . - p.301-322 Titre : Use of Computer-Assisted Technologies (CAT) to Enhance Social, Communicative, and Language Development in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Bertram O. PLOOG, Auteur ; Alexa SCHARF, Auteur ; DeShawn NELSON, Auteur ; Patricia J. BROOKS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.301-322 Langues : (Eng) Mots-clés : Computer-assisted technology  Autism  Efficacy  Language  Social skills  Emotion recognition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Major advances in multimedia computer technology over the past decades have made sophisticated computer games readily available to the public. This, combined with the observation that most children, including those with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), show an affinity to computers, has led researchers to recognize the potential of computer technology as an effective and efficient tool in research and treatment. This paper reviews the use of computer-assisted technology (CAT), excluding strictly internet-based approaches, to enhance social, communicative, and language development in individuals with ASD by dividing the vast literature into four main areas: language, emotion recognition, theory of mind, and social skills. Although many studies illustrate the tremendous promise of CAT to enhance skills of individuals with ASD, most lack rigorous, scientific assessment of efficacy relative to non-CAT approaches.
