“I love the cute caterpillar!” autistic children's production of internal state language across contexts and relations to Joint Attention and theory of mind / Susanne KRISTEN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 12 (April 2015)

While some studies show that high-ability autistic children are impaired across a broad range of internal state term categories (e.g., desires, emotions and cognitive terms), other research shows that autistic children are more selectively impaired in their talk about cognitive states. Finally, some studies even demonstrate no impairments. The different findings have largely been explained by context effects. However, to date, studies have yet to compare the same children across different contexts to corroborate this interpretation. Further, studies involving contexts where autistic children's reactivity is actively triggered by providing clear joint attention cues or by exploiting autistic children's intense interest in objects are lacking. Thus, this study tested internal state language from different categories across three different contexts (narrative context, motivating mechanical toy context, elicited interactive joint attention context) and related it to joint attention skills and children's theory of mind. Results revealed that deficits in autistic children's internal state language were highly specific and relation to theory of mind varied by context. In sum, this research suggests that both theorists and practitioners need to take into account context when studying or promoting autistic individuals’ psychological comprehension.

Implicit and explicit Theory of Mind reasoning in autism spectrum disorders: The impact of experience / Tobias SCHUWERK in Autism, 19-4 (May 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 19-4 (May 2015) . - p.459-468 Titre : Implicit and explicit Theory of Mind reasoning in autism spectrum disorders: The impact of experience Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tobias SCHUWERK, Auteur ; Maria VUORI, Auteur ; Beate SODIAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.459-468 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study aimed to investigate the relationship between explicit and implicit forms of Theory of Mind reasoning and to test the influence of experience on implicit Theory of Mind reasoning in individuals with autism spectrum disorders and in neurotypical adults. Results from two standard explicit Theory of Mind tasks are mixed: Individuals with autism spectrum disorders did not differ from neurotypical adults in their performance in the Strange Stories Test, but scored significantly lower on the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test. Furthermore, in an implicit false-belief task, individuals with autism spectrum disorders differed from neurotypical adults in false belief–congruent anticipatory looking. However, this group difference disappeared by (1) providing participants with the outcome of a false belief–based action and (2) subsequently repeating this test trial. Although the tendency to fixate the false belief–congruent location significantly increased from the first to the second test trial in individuals with autism spectrum disorders, it differed in neither test trial from chance. These findings support the notion of an implicit Theory of Mind deficit in autism spectrum disorders, but give rise to the idea that anticipatory looking behaviors in autism spectrum disorders may be affected by experience. Additionally, the pattern of results from implicit and explicit Theory of Mind measures supports the theory of two independent Theory of Mind reasoning systems.
