The uses of cognitive training technologies in the treatment of autism spectrum disorders / Sam V. WASS in Autism, 18-8 (November 2014)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 18-8 (November 2014) . - p.851-871 Titre : The uses of cognitive training technologies in the treatment of autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sam V. WASS, Auteur ; Kaska PORAYSKA-POMSTA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.851-871 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  technology-enhanced behavioural interventions Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In this review, we focus on research that has used technology to provide cognitive training – i.e. to improve performance on some measurable aspect of behaviour – in individuals with autism spectrum disorders. We review technology-enhanced interventions that target three different cognitive domains: (a) emotion and face recognition, (b) language and literacy, and (c) social skills. The interventions reviewed allow for interaction through different modes, including point-and-click and eye-gaze contingent software, and are delivered through diverse implementations, including virtual reality and robotics. In each case, we examine the evidence of the degree of post-training improvement observed following the intervention, including evidence of transfer to altered behaviour in ecologically valid contexts. We conclude that a number of technological interventions have found that observed improvements within the computerised training paradigm fail to generalise to altered behaviour in more naturalistic settings, which may result from problems that people with autism spectrum disorders experience in generalising and extrapolating knowledge. However, we also point to several promising findings in this area. We discuss possible directions for future work.

Vocalization and physiological hyperarousal in infant-caregiver dyads where the caregiver has elevated anxiety / Celia G. SMITH in Development and Psychopathology, 35-2 (May 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 35-2 (May 2023) . - p.459-470 Titre : Vocalization and physiological hyperarousal in infant-caregiver dyads where the caregiver has elevated anxiety Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Celia G. SMITH, Auteur ; Emily J. H. JONES, Auteur ; Tony CHARMAN, Auteur ; Kaili CLACKSON, Auteur ; Farhan U. MIRZA, Auteur ; Sam V. WASS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.459-470 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : anxiety  arousal dysregulation  atypical regulation  parent-infant coregulation  parent-infant relationship Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Co-regulation of physiological arousal within the caregiver-child dyad precedes later self-regulation within the individual. Despite the importance of unimpaired self-regulatory development for later adjustment outcomes, little is understood about how early co-regulatory processes can become dysregulated during early life. Aspects of caregiver behavior, such as patterns of anxious speech, may be one factor influencing infant arousal dysregulation. To address this, we made day-long, naturalistic biobehavioral recordings in home settings in caregiver-infant dyads using wearable autonomic devices and miniature microphones. We examined the association between arousal, vocalization intensity, and caregiver anxiety. We found that moments of high physiological arousal in infants were more likely to be accompanied by high caregiver arousal when caregivers had high self-reported trait anxiety. Anxious caregivers were also more likely to vocalize intensely at states of high arousal and produce intense vocalizations that occurred in clusters. High-intensity vocalizations were associated with more sustained increases in autonomic arousal for both anxious caregivers and their infants. Findings indicate that caregiver vocal behavior differs in anxious parents, cooccurs with dyadic arousal dysregulation, and could contribute to physiological arousal transmission. Implications for caregiver vocalization as an intervention target are discussed.
