Emotional Intelligence, Theory of Mind, and Executive Functions as Predictors of Social Outcomes in Young Adults With Asperger Syndrome / Janine M. MONTGOMERY in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 28-1 (March 2013)

This deficit is particularly evident when processing of emotional information is required in social situations. Deficits in theory of mind and executive functions are the two explanatory hypotheses for social deficits in AS that are predominant in the literature; however, each of these explanations has limitations. Emotional intelligence (EI) has emerged as a relatively new explanation for social difficulties in typically developing individuals. Recently, researchers also have demonstrated that EI predicted important social outcomes for individuals with AS. In this study, we explored EI as an alternative or additive explanation for the social deficits observed in young adults with AS in light of the two predominant theories accounting for social difficulties. Implications for practice are discussed.

Gaze patterns during scene processing in typical adults and adults with autism spectrum disorders / Sarah N. RIGBY in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 25 (May 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 25 (May 2016) . - p.24-36 Titre : Gaze patterns during scene processing in typical adults and adults with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sarah N. RIGBY, Auteur ; Brenda M. STOESZ, Auteur ; Lorna S. JAKOBSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.24-36 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adults  Autism spectrum disorder  Dynamic face processing  Eye-tracking  Selective attention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractBackground Little is known about how adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) process dynamic social scenes. Method We studied gaze behavior in 16 adults with ASD without intellectual impairment and 16 sex- and age-matched controls during passive scene processing. Results Adding more characters to a scene resulted in a drop in time spent looking at faces, and an increase in time spent looking at bodies (static trials) or off-person (dynamic trials) [Scene Type × AOI × Mode: F(2, 60) = 3.54, p = .04, η2p = .11]. Unlike controls, adults with ASD showed only a small drop in the number of fixations made [Mode × Group: F(1, 30) = 11.30, p = .002, η2p = .27] and no increase in the duration of face fixations [Mode × AOI × Group: F(2, 60) = 3.50, p = .04, η2p = .11] when dynamic cues were added. Thus, particularly during dynamic trials, adults with ASD spent less time looking at faces and slightly more time looking off-person than did controls [Mode × AOI × Group: F(2, 60) = 3.10 p = .05, η2p = .09]. Exhibiting more autistic traits and being less empathic were both associated with spending less time fixating on faces [.34 < |r| < .55, p < .05]. Conclusions These results suggest that adults with ASD may be less sensitive to, or have more difficulty processing, dynamic cues—particularly those conveyed in faces. The findings demonstrate the importance of using dynamic displays in studies involving this clinical population.
