Flexibility in young people with autism spectrum disorders on a card sort task / Phil REED in Autism, 17-2 (March 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 17-2 (March 2013) . - p.162-171 Titre : Flexibility in young people with autism spectrum disorders on a card sort task Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Phil REED, Auteur ; Helen WATTS, Auteur ; Roberto TRUZOLI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.162-171 Mots-clés : behavioural flexibility  discrimination learning  low-functioning autism  stereotyped behaviours Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have shown deficits in switching between rules governing their behaviour, as have high-functioning children with ASD. However, there are few studies of flexibility in lower-functioning children with ASD. The current study investigated this phenomenon with a group of low-functioning children with ASD compared to a mental-age-matched comparison group. The ASD group learned an initial discrimination task as quickly as the matched comparison group, but when the rule governing the discrimination was shifted, the comparison group learned the task with fewer errors, and made the discrimination more quickly than the groups with ASD. These findings suggest that low-functioning children with ASD do display the predicted deficits in extra-dimensional shift.

The relationship between autism quotient, anxiety, and internet addiction / Michela ROMANO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-11 (November 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 8-11 (November 2014) . - p.1521-1526 Titre : The relationship between autism quotient, anxiety, and internet addiction Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Michela ROMANO, Auteur ; Roberto TRUZOLI, Auteur ; Lisa A. OSBORNE, Auteur ; Phil REED, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1521-1526 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Internet addiction  Autism  Depression  Anxiety Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigated internet addiction across the broad autism phenotype, and assessed the degree to which internet addiction in individuals with higher autism quotient scores may be mediated by co-morbid depression and anxiety. Ninety participants were given a range of psychometric assessments to determine their level of problematic internet usage (Internet Addiction Test), autism traits (Autism Quotient Scale), depression (Beck Depression Inventory), and anxiety (Speilberger Trait Anxiety Scale). Significant associations were found between both autism, and anxiety, and internet addiction. However, the association between autism traits and internet addiction was moderated by high level for anxiety, such that individuals with high numbers of autism traits showed less evidence of internet addiction if they also displayed high levels of anxiety. It is suggested that the presence of anxiety in these individuals alters the function that internet behavior serves, and makes internet addiction less likely.
