In the current study, we used the Happé–Frith animated triangles task (Abell, Happé, Frith, 2000) to study social attribution skills in this population. In this task, typical viewers attribute intentionality and mental states to shapes, based on characteristics of their movements. Participants included 34 preterm children and 36 full-term controls, aged 8–11 years. Groups were comparable in terms of age at test, gender, handedness, and socioeconomic status; they also performed similarly on tests of selective attention/processing speed and verbal intelligence. Relative to full-term peers, preterm children's descriptions of the animations were less appropriate overall; they also overattributed intentionality/mental states to randomly moving shapes and underattributed intentionality/mental states to shapes that seemed to be interacting socially. Impairments in the ability to infer the putative mental states of triangles from movement cues alone were most evident in children displaying more “autistic-like” traits, and this may reflect atypical development of and/or functioning in, or atypical connections between, parts of the social brain.

Social perception in children born at very low birthweight and its relationship with social/behavioral outcomes / Kathryn E. WILLIAMSON in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 55-9 (September 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 55-9 (September 2014) . - p.990-998 Titre : Social perception in children born at very low birthweight and its relationship with social/behavioral outcomes Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kathryn E. WILLIAMSON, Auteur ; Lorna S. JAKOBSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.990-998 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Prematurity  low birthweight  autism spectrum disorder  social perception  social cognition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Research has shown that children born very prematurely are at substantially elevated risk for social and behavioral difficulties similar to those seen in full-term children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Methods To gain insight into core deficits that may underlie these difficulties, in this study, we assessed the social perceptual skills of 8- to 11-year-old children born at very low birthweight (VLBW) (1,500 g) and age-matched, full-term controls, using the Child and Adolescent Social Perception Measure. We also assessed social and behavioral outcomes with two parent-report measures used in ASD screening. Results Children in the preterm group had normal range estimated verbal IQ. However, we found that they were impaired in their ability to use nonverbal cues from moving faces and bodies, and situational cues, to correctly identify the emotions of characters depicted in videotaped social interactions. Their performance on this task was related to the number of ‘autistic-like’ traits they displayed. Conclusions This research highlights links between social perceptual deficits and poor social and behavioral outcomes in children born very prematurely. The results also suggest that even those who have escaped major intellectual/language problems are at risk for social and behavioral problems that can be of clinical concern.
