All the world’s a stage: Evaluation of two stages of metaphor comprehension in people with autism spectrum disorder / Brea CHOUINARD in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 23 (March 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 23 (March 2016) . - p.107-121 Titre : All the world’s a stage: Evaluation of two stages of metaphor comprehension in people with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Brea CHOUINARD, Auteur ; Jacqueline CUMMINE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.107-121 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Figurative language comprehension  Metaphor interference effect  Metaphor processing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : AbstractPurpose Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are commonly believed to have difficulty understanding figurative language; however, recent evidence suggests that these difficulties may reflect processing differences as opposed to inability to comprehend. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether processing of metaphorical and non-metaphorical sentences in individuals with ASD is the same as or different from individuals without ASD. Methodology We investigated generation of metaphorical meaning and suppression of literal meaning in high-functioning individuals with ASD and controls. Groups were matched for semantic knowledge and IQ. Individuals completed a sentence decision task designed to evaluate presence of metaphorical meaning. Results We found that people with ASD generated the literal and figurative meanings for metaphors similarly to controls, but had more difficulty inhibiting the unintended meaning than the control group. Conclusions We provide evidence that people with ASD do not have difficulty with generating figurative meaning, but that the stage of suppression should be further investigated.

He said, she said: Autism spectrum diagnosis and gender differentially affect relationships between executive functions and social communication / Brea CHOUINARD in Autism, 23-7 (October 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 23-7 (October 2019) . - p.1793-1804 Titre : He said, she said: Autism spectrum diagnosis and gender differentially affect relationships between executive functions and social communication Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Brea CHOUINARD, Auteur ; Louise GALLAGHER, Auteur ; Clare KELLY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1793-1804 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  executive functions  metacognition  social communication  working memory Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autism spectrum disorder is characterized by difficulties with social communication, with a preponderance in males. Evidence supports a relationship between metacognitive executive functions (e.g. planning, working memory) and social communication in autism spectrum disorder, yet relationships with specific metacognitive executive functions and how gender alters the expression of these relationships require further study. We used multiple regression to examine relationships between informant-based measures of metacognitive executive function and social communication in intellectually able (IQ 85) female (n = 111; mean age = 10.2 +/- 2.8; 31 autism spectrum disorder) and male youth (n = 310; mean age = 10.5 +/- 1.9; 146 autism spectrum disorder) with and without autism spectrum disorder from the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange-II database. Executive function-social communication relationships were different in females and males with autism spectrum disorder. Relationships between the entire metacognitive index and social communication were stronger in males with autism spectrum disorder than without; this pattern was also observed for metacognitive sub-indices 'monitor' and 'working memory'. These patterns were not observed in females. Relationships between executive function and social communication appear different for female and male youth with an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. To better understand the nature of metacognitive contributions to social communication in autism spectrum disorder, future work should investigate the co-development of monitoring, working memory and social communication, while taking gender into account.
