Executive Functions in Older Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder: Objective Performance and Subjective Complaints / Roeliena C.D. DAVIDS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-9 (September 2016)

VAN BALKOM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2859-2873 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Neuropsychological assessment  Cognition  Executive function  Processing speed  Aging Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although deficits in Executive Functioning (EF) are reported frequently in young individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), they remain relatively unexplored later in life (>50 years). We studied objective performance on EF measures (Tower of London, Zoo map, phonetic/semantic fluency) as well as subjective complaints (self- and proxy reported BRIEF) in 36 ASD and 36 typically developed individuals (n = 72). High functioning older adults with ASD reported EF-impairments in metacognition, but did not deviate in EF task performance, except for a longer execution time of the Tower of London. The need for additional time to complete daily tasks may contribute to impairments in daily life and may be correlated to a higher level of experienced EF-difficulties in ASD.

Local-global processing approaches in older autistic adults: A matched control study using RCFT and WAIS-IV / Roeliena C.D. DAVIDS in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 78 (October 2020)

DAVIDS, Auteur ; Yvonne GROEN, Auteur ; Ina J. BERG, Auteur ; Oliver TUCHA, Auteur ; Ingrid D.C. VAN BALKOM, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101655 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Adult  Neuropsychological assessment  Local processing  Global processing  Qualitative scoring Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Research on information processing of older adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is scarce, which is a caveat because findings in children may not apply to (older) autistic adults. This study examines visual local-global processing approaches in older autistic adults. Method The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (RCFT) is a popular measure of visual-constructional ability, organisational strategy and memory. In this matched-control study, we explore if the qualitative and quantitative performance on the RCFT can be used as an operationalisation of central coherence in autistic older adults (n = 36; ages 50−84 years), and whether RCFT performance associates with autism-symptoms. WAIS-IV scores were also obtained to test for local-global differences in performance. Results No evidence was found for deviating processing approaches on the RCFT (both quantitative and qualitative) in the ASD group, although copying the RCFT was significantly slower. The WAIS-IV showed no differences between participant-groups, except for a significantly better performance on Visual Puzzles by autistic participants. Conclusions Using visual local-global processing tests common to clinical practice, this study provides no evidence for a weak central coherence but some support for enhanced perceptual functioning in late-diagnosed high functioning older autistic adults. There was no evidence for altered strategic approaches during the completion of a complex visual information processing task (RCFT). Combining a quantitative and a qualitative scoring system of visual information processing tasks (such as RCFT) can elucidate the preferred visual information processing style in autistic individuals.

The Empathy and Systemizing Quotient: The Psychometric Properties of the Dutch Version and a Review of the Cross-Cultural Stability / Yvonne GROEN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-9 (September 2015)

This study investigates the psychometric properties of the Dutch EQ and SQ in healthy participants (n = 685), and high functioning males with autism spectrum disorder (n = 42). Factor analysis provided support for three subscales of the abridged 28-item EQ: Cognitive Empathy, Emotional Empathy and Social Skills. Overall, the Dutch EQ and SQ appeared reliable and valid tools to assess empathizing and systemizing cognitive style in healthy adults and high functioning adults with autism. The literature showed good cross-cultural stability of the SQ and EQ in Western countries, but in Asian countries EQ is less stable and less sensitive to sex differences.
