Cognitive Flexibility in ASD; Task Switching with Emotional Faces / Marieke DE VRIES in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-12 (December 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 42-12 (December 2012) . - p.2558-2568 Titre : Cognitive Flexibility in ASD; Task Switching with Emotional Faces Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marieke DE VRIES, Auteur ; Hilde M. GEURTS, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.2558-2568 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ASD  Task switching  Cognitive flexibility  Emotion  Executive functioning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) show daily cognitive flexibility deficits, but laboratory data are unconvincing. The current study aimed to bridge this gap. Thirty-one children with ASD (8'12 years) and 31 age- and IQ-matched typically developing children performed a gender emotion switch task. Unannounced switches and complex stimuli (emotional faces) improved ecological validity; minimal working memory-load prevented bias in the findings. Overall performance did not differ between groups, but in a part of the ASD group performance was slow and inaccurate. Moreover, within the ASD group switching from emotion to gender trials was slower than vice versa. Children with ASD do not show difficulties on an ecological valid switch task, but have difficulty disengaging from an emotional task set.

Exploring possible predictors and moderators of an executive function training for children with an autism spectrum disorder / Marieke DE VRIES in Autism, 22-4 (May 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 22-4 (May 2018) . - p.440-449 Titre : Exploring possible predictors and moderators of an executive function training for children with an autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marieke DE VRIES, Auteur ; Mathilde Ge VERDAM, Auteur ; P.J. PRINS, Auteur ; Ben A. SCHMAND, Auteur ; Hilde M. GEURTS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.440-449 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  cognitive training  executive functions  predictors Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previously, a total of 121 children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) performed an adaptive working memory (WM)-training, an adaptive flexibility-training, or a non-adaptive control (mock)-training. Despite overall improvement, there were minor differences between the adaptive and mock-training conditions. Moreover, dropout was relatively high (26%). In the current study we explored potential predicting and moderating factors to clarify these findings. The effects of intelligence, autism traits, WM, flexibility, reward sensitivity and Theory of Mind on dropout, improvement during training, and improvement in everyday executive functioning (EF), ASD-like behavior, and Quality of Life (QoL) were studied. None of the predictors influenced dropout or training improvement. However, 1) more pre-training autism traits related to less improvement in EF and QoL, and 2) higher reward sensitivity was related to more improvement in QoL and ASD-like behavior. These findings suggest that these EF-training procedures may be beneficial for children with fewer autism traits and higher reward sensitivity. However, the exploratory nature of the analyses warrant further research before applying the findings clinically.

Influence of Autism Traits and Executive Functioning on Quality of Life in Children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder / Marieke DE VRIES in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-9 (September 2015)

We studied if IQ, early language development, current autism traits, and daily Executive Functions (EFs) are related to QoL in children (aged 8–12 years) with ASD (N = 120) and typically developing (TD) children (N = 76). Children with ASD showed a lower QoL than TD children. This lower QoL was related to higher levels of autism traits and EF deficits. Moreover, specific autism traits and EFs were related to specific QoL subdomains. The low QoL and the aggravating effects of autism traits and EF deficits indicate a potential to identify and target such factors in treatment to improve QoL.

Language Matters: The Autism-Spectrum Quotient in English, Mandarin and Bahasa Malaysia / Zhong Jian CHEE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-9 (September 2022)

However, the language of the questionnaire might influence non-native English speakers' answering tendency. In the current study we compared the responses on the AQ of multilingual Malaysians (96 participants filled out the AQ in English and Mandarin, and 79 participants filled out English and Bahasa Malaysia). Participants scored higher on the English AQ compared to the Mandarin AQ, whereas there was no difference between the English and Bahasa Malaysia AQ score. Analysis of the response style suggests the same person might display discrepant response styles in different languages, which seems to be related to language proficiency.

Psychometric characteristics of the AQ-Adolescent in autistic and non-autistic adolescents / Marieke DE VRIES in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 106 (August 2023)

The adolescent version of the AQ is understudied. We analyzed the factor structure, informant- and sex differences, and clinical utility of the AQ adolescent in 1) parent reports from adolescents in the general population (GenPop; AQ50; N = 465), parent reports from autistic adolescents (Netherlands Autism Register, NAR; AQ28 [Hoekstra et al., 2011]; N = 284), and parent- and self-reports of autistic and non-autistic adolescents (MATCH; AQ50; N = 84). The tested AQ-Adult factor models (Hoekstra et al., 2011; Murray, Allison et al., 2017; Murray, McKenzie et al., 2017; Russell-Smith et al., 2011), showed an acceptable fit in the GenPop sample, and the bi-factor AQ28-Hoekstra (Murray et al., 2011) fitted the NAR sample acceptably. On the AQ28-Hoekstra, autistic adolescents scored lower whereas non-autistic adolescents scored higher than their parents (MATCH), and males scored higher than females on several factors (GenPop, NAR). Moreover, this factor model appeared invariant among autistic and non-autistic groups. Two cut-off scores were evaluated with ROC analyses for parent reports. Given the informant differences, these cannot be applied to self-reports. In conclusion, the AQ28-Hoekstra reliably measures autistic traits in adolescents with and without autism. Combining parent and self-report seems most informative.
