While not a core symptom of autism, individuals with HFA seem to reliably show this bias. Our lab has been studying a sample of children who have overcome their early ASD diagnoses, showing “optimal outcomes” (OO). This study characterizes performance by OO, HFA, and typically developing (TD) adolescents as they describe paintings under cognitive load. Analyses of detail focus in painting descriptions indicated that the HFA group displayed significantly more local focus than both OO and TD groups, while the OO and TD groups did not differ. We discuss implications for the centrality of detail focus to the autism diagnosis.

Toddlers with Autism Spectrum Disorder Can Use Language to Update Their Expectations About the World / Allison FITCH in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-2 (February 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 49-2 (February 2019) . - p.429-440 Titre : Toddlers with Autism Spectrum Disorder Can Use Language to Update Their Expectations About the World Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Allison FITCH, Auteur ; Annalisa VALADEZ, Auteur ; Patricia A. GANEA, Auteur ; Alice S. CARTER, Auteur ; Zsuzsa KALDY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.429-440 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Language comprehension  Receptive language  Representations  Updating Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined if two-year-olds with ASD can update mental representations on the basis of verbal input. In an eye-tracking study, toddlers with ASD and typically-developing nonverbal age-matched controls were exposed to visual or verbal information about a change in a recently encoded scene, followed by an outcome that was either congruent or incongruent with that information. Findings revealed that both groups looked longer at incongruent outcomes, regardless of information modality, and despite the fact that toddlers with ASD had significantly lower measured verbal abilities than TD toddlers. This demonstrates that, although there is heterogeneity on the individual level, young toddlers with ASD can succeed in updating their mental representations on the basis of verbal input in a low-demand task.
