Affective empathy, cognitive empathy and social attention in children at high risk of criminal behaviour / Lisette VAN ZONNEVELD in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-8 (August 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 58-8 (August 2017) . - p.913-921 Titre : Affective empathy, cognitive empathy and social attention in children at high risk of criminal behaviour Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lisette VAN ZONNEVELD, Auteur ; Evelien PLATJE, Auteur ; Leo DE SONNEVILLE, Auteur ; Stephanie VAN GOOZEN, Auteur ; Hanna SWAAB, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.913-921 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Criminality  antisocial behaviour  empathy  eye gaze  psychophysiology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Empathy deficits are hypothesized to underlie impairments in social interaction exhibited by those who engage in antisocial behaviour. Social attention is an essential precursor to empathy; however, no studies have yet examined social attention in relation to cognitive and affective empathy in those exhibiting antisocial behaviour. Methods Participants were 8- to 12-year-old children at high risk of developing criminal behaviour (N = 114, 80.7% boys) and typically developing controls (N = 43, 72.1% boys). The high-risk children were recruited through an ongoing early identification and intervention project of the city of Amsterdam, focusing on the underage siblings or children of delinquents and those failing primary school. Video clips with neutral and emotional content (fear, happiness and pain) were shown, while heart rate (HR), skin conductance level (SCL) and skin conductance responses (SCRs) were recorded to measure affective empathy. Answers to questions about emotions in the clips were coded to measure cognitive empathy. Eye-tracking was used to evaluate visual scanning patterns towards social relevant cues (eyes and face) in the clips. Results The high-risk group did not differ from the control group in social attention and cognitive empathy, but showed reduced HR to pain and fear, and reduced SCL and SCRs to pain. Conclusions Children at high risk of developing criminal behaviour show impaired affective empathy but unimpaired social attention and cognitive empathy. The implications for early identification and intervention studies with antisocial children are discussed.

Autism Symptoms, Executive Functioning and Academic Progress in Higher Education Students / Renee R. DIJKHUIS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-4 (April 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-4 (April 2020) . - p.1353-1363 Titre : Autism Symptoms, Executive Functioning and Academic Progress in Higher Education Students Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Renee R.

The predictive value of self-reported daily executive functioning (EF) and (cognitive) performance-based EF (mental flexibility and working memory) for academic progress was evaluated in 54 young adults with ASD (Mage = 22.5, SD = 2.4, 72% male). Regression analyses showed that autism symptom severity explained 12% of variance in academic progress, which was raised to 36% by adding self-reported daily EF, and to 25% by adding performance-based EF. It is suggested that EF is a candidate marker for academic progress in higher education students with ASD and a candidate target for early intervention.

Cross-Sectional Evidence for a Decrease in Cognitive Function With Age in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders? / Petra Suzanne BARNEVELD in Autism Research, 7-5 (October 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 7-5 (October 2014) . - p.527-534 Titre : Cross-Sectional Evidence for a Decrease in Cognitive Function With Age in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Petra Suzanne BARNEVELD, Auteur ; Hanna SWAAB, Auteur ; Herman VAN ENGELAND, Auteur ; Leo DE SONNEVILLE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.527-534 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : cognitive functioning  intelligence profiles  development  age  autism spectrum disorders Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are associated with early disturbances in brain maturation processes and these interferences presumably have their consequences for the progressive emergence of cognitive deficits later in life, as expressed in intelligence profiles. In this study, we addressed the impact of age on cognitive functioning of 6- to 15-year-old children and adolescents with ASD. Intelligence profiles were measured by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children and compared among four consecutive age cohorts (children aged 6.17–8.03 years, 8.04–9.61 years, and 9.68–11.50 years and adolescents aged 11.54–15.85 years) of 237 high-functioning boys with ASD. The results clearly demonstrated that the global intelligence level was lower in children aged 8 years and older, when compared with 6- and 7-year-old children with ASD. This is mostly due to the Freedom From Distractibility factor, suggesting that older children were less able to sustain their attention, they were more distractible, or had more graph motor difficulties. Moreover, an effect of age was also found with respect to the relatively poor performance on the subtest Comprehension when compared with other verbal comprehension subtests, indicating that specifically the impairments in verbal comprehension and social reasoning abilities were more profound in older children when compared with 6- and 7-year-old children with ASD. Findings of this cross-sectional study showed that it is relevant to take age into account when evaluating the impact of cognitive impairments on intelligence in children with ASD, because the impact of these developmental disorders might be different at different ages.
