Attentional allocation of autism spectrum disorder individuals: Searching for a Face-in-the-Crowd / David J MOORE in Autism, 20-2 (February 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 20-2 (February 2016) . - p.163-171 Titre : Attentional allocation of autism spectrum disorder individuals: Searching for a Face-in-the-Crowd Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : David J MOORE, Auteur ; John REIDY, Auteur ; Lisa HEAVEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.163-171 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adults  attention  autism  autism spectrum disorder  bias  faces  social cognition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A study is reported which tests the proposition that faces capture the attention of those with autism spectrum disorders less than a typical population. A visual search task based on the Face-in-the-Crowd paradigm was used to examine the attentional allocation of autism spectrum disorder adults for faces. Participants were required to search for discrepant target images from within 9-image arrays. Both participants with autism spectrum disorder and control participants demonstrated speeded identification of faces compared to non-face objects. This indicates that when attention is under conscious control, both autism spectrum disorder and typically developing comparison adults show an attentional bias for faces, which contrasts with previous research which found an absence of an attentional bias for faces in autism spectrum disorder. Theoretical implications of this differentiation are discussed.

A Quantitative Sensory Testing Approach to Pain in Autism Spectrum Disorders / Sarah VAUGHAN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-5 (May 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-5 (May 2020) . - p.1607-1620 Titre : A Quantitative Sensory Testing Approach to Pain in Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sarah VAUGHAN, Auteur ; Francis MCGLONE, Auteur ; Helen POOLE, Auteur ; David J MOORE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1607-1620 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Pain  Quantitative sensory testing  Somatosensation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Sensory abnormalities in autism has been noted clinically, with pain insensitivity as a specified diagnostic criterion. However, there is limited research using psychophysically robust techniques. Thirteen adults with ASD and 13 matched controls completed an established quantitative sensory testing (QST) battery, supplemented with measures of pain tolerance and central modulation. The ASD group showed higher thresholds for light touch detection and mechanical pain. Notably, the ASD group had a greater range of extreme scores (the number of z-scores outside of the 95% CI > 2), dynamic mechanical allodynia and paradoxical heat sensation; phenomena not typically seen in neurotypical individuals. These data support the need for research examining central mechanisms for pain in ASD and greater consideration of individual difference.
