Action coordination during a real-world task: Evidence from children with and without autism spectrum disorder / Dominic A. TREVISAN in Development and Psychopathology, 33-1 (February 2021)

TREVISAN, Auteur ; James T. ENNS, Auteur ; Elina BIRMINGHAM, Auteur ; Grace IAROCCI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.65-75 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asd  action coordination  autism  joint action  social interaction Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : "Joint action"-the ability to coordinate actions with others-is critical for achieving individual and interpersonal goals and for our collective success as a species. Joint actions require accurate and rapid inferences about others' goals, intentions, and focus of attention, skills that are thought to be impaired in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Research to date has not investigated joint action abilities in individuals with ASD during real-world social interactions. We conducted an experimental study that required children with ASD and typically developing children to move tables by themselves or collaboratively through a maze. This involved developing innovative methodologies for measuring action coordination-a critical component of the joint action process. We found that children with ASD are less likely to benefit from the collaboration of a peer than are typically developing children, and they are less likely to synchronize their steps when moving the table. However, these differences were masked when scaffolded by an adult. There was no evidence that ASD differences were due to gross motor delays in the participants with ASD. We argue that action coordination is a highly adaptive social process that is intrinsic to successful human functioning that manifests as atypical synchronization of mind and body in children with ASD.

Adaptive and Maladaptive Bodily Awareness: Distinguishing Interoceptive Sensibility and Interoceptive Attention from Anxiety-Induced Somatization in Autism and Alexithymia / Dominic A. TREVISAN in Autism Research, 14-2 (February 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-2 (February 2021) . - p.240-247 Titre : Adaptive and Maladaptive Bodily Awareness: Distinguishing Interoceptive Sensibility and Interoceptive Attention from Anxiety-Induced Somatization in Autism and Alexithymia Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Dominic A. TREVISAN, Auteur ; Wolf E. MEHLING, Auteur ; James C. MCPARTLAND, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.240-247 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : alexithymia  anxiety  autism spectrum disorder  bodily awareness  interoception  somatization Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is growing interest in "interoception" (i.e., detection and interpretation of internal body signals) as a relevant mechanism contributing to certain symptoms and features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and alexithymia. However, inconsistent measurement and operationalization of interoception has led to confusion and inconsistent findings in the literature. In this commentary, we present alternative interpretations of findings from existing studies to demonstrate that ASD and alexithymia are conditions associated with reduced adaptive forms of interoceptive attention (i.e., attention toward bodily signals) but heightened maladaptive forms of interoceptive attention related to anxiety-induced somatization. Differentiating adaptive and maladaptive forms of interoceptive attention reveals a clearer pattern of findings in the research literature for further investigation of interoceptive processes that are involved in the neurobiology of ASD. However, interoception is a complex and multi-faceted construct that requires continual refinement in conceptualization and operationalization. Interoception research may benefit from self-report measures that clearly differentiate adaptive and maladaptive forms of bodily awareness. LAY SUMMARY: Some research suggests that autistic people have difficulty understanding bodily feelings such as hunger, illness, or emotions, whereas some studies have reported the opposite pattern of findings. We argue that this latter subset of studies reached false conclusions from using measures of bodily awareness that largely measure physical symptoms of anxiety. While attention to unpleasant bodily signals is an important ability necessary for maintaining healthy bodily functioning, excessive attention, and worry toward bodily signals can increase anxiety and be harmful.

Alexithymia, but not autism spectrum disorder, may be related to the production of emotional facial expressions / Dominic A. TREVISAN in Molecular Autism, 7 (2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inMolecular Autism > 7 (2016) . - 46p. Titre : Alexithymia, but not autism spectrum disorder, may be related to the production of emotional facial expressions Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Dominic A. TREVISAN, Auteur ; Marleis BOWERING, Auteur ; Elina BIRMINGHAM, Auteur Article en page(s) : 46p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Affective Symptoms/physiopathology/psychology  Autism Spectrum Disorder/classification/physiopathology/psychology  Case-Control Studies  Child  Facial Expression  Female  Humans  Male  Pattern Recognition, Automated/statistics & numerical data  Social Perception  Software  Alexithymia  Autism  Facial expressions Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: A prominent diagnostic criterion of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) relates to the abnormal or diminished use of facial expressions. Yet little is known about the mechanisms that contribute to this feature of ASD. METHODS: We showed children with and without ASD emotionally charged video clips in order to parse out individual differences in spontaneous production of facial expressions using automated facial expression analysis software. RESULTS: Using hierarchical multiple regression, we sought to determine whether alexithymia (characterized by difficulties interpreting one's own feeling states) contributes to diminished facial expression production. Across groups, alexithymic traits-but not ASD traits, IQ, or sex-were associated with quantity of facial expression production. CONCLUSIONS: These results accord with a growing body of research suggesting that many emotion processing abnormalities observed in ASD may be explained by co-occurring alexithymia. Developmental and clinical considerations are discussed, and it is argued that alexithymia is an important but too often ignored trait associated with ASD that may have implications for subtyping individuals on the autism spectrum.

Are emotion recognition abilities related to everyday social functioning in ASD? A meta-analysis / Dominic A. TREVISAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 32 (December 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 32 (December 2016) . - p.24-42 Titre : Are emotion recognition abilities related to everyday social functioning in ASD?

However, rarely has this association been empirically examined in this population. Methods We conducted a meta-analysis to quantitatively summarize correlations between performance on facial emotion recognition tasks and theoretically related variables broadly related to social functioning and other cognitive abilities. Results Sixty-two correlation coefficients from 27 separate articles met our inclusion criteria. Correlations between the ability to recognize facial expressions (FER) and each category of variables were moderate but significant in the expected direction. FER was positively correlated with age, nonverbal and verbal intelligence, Theory of Mind, and adaptive functioning, and negatively correlated with alexithymia and higher ASD symptoms. Conclusions The findings of this meta-analysis indicate that FER abilities represent an important social cognitive ability given its relation to real-world social behavior and other characteristics and cognitive abilities. However, the striking lack of studies in this area calls for more research to gain a clearer understanding of the developmental significance of FER, especially in relation to the broader social impairment characteristic of ASD.

Associations between sleep problems and domains relevant to daytime functioning and clinical symptomatology in autism: A meta-analysis / Gloria T. HAN in Autism Research, 15-7 (July 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 15-7 (July 2022) . - p.1249-1260 Titre : Associations between sleep problems and domains relevant to daytime functioning and clinical symptomatology in autism: A meta-analysis Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gloria T. HAN, Auteur ; Dominic A. TREVISAN, Auteur ; Emily A. ABEL, Auteur ; Elise M. CUMMINGS, Auteur ; Carter CARLOS, Auteur ; Armen BAGDASAROV, Auteur ; Shashwat KALA, Auteur ; Termara PARKER, Auteur ; Craig CANAPARI, Auteur ; James C. MCPARTLAND, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1249-1260 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  daytime functioning  meta-analysis  sleep Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic individuals experience significantly higher rates of sleep problems compared to the general population, which negatively impacts various aspects of daytime functioning. The strength of associations across domains of functioning has not yet been summarized across studies. The present meta-analysis examined the strength of associations between sleep problems and various domains of daytime functioning in autistic individuals. Searches were conducted in EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar through May 2020. Inclusion criteria were: an index of sleep disturbance in individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); data collected prior to any sleep-related intervention; statistical data indicating relations between sleep problems and outcomes relevant to behavior, cognition, and physical or mental health. Exclusion criteria were: statistics characterizing the relationship between sleep disturbance and outcome variables that partialled out covariates; studies examining correlations between different measures of sleep disturbance. Participants totaled 15,074 from 49 published articles and 51 samples, yielding 209 effect sizes. Sleep problems were significantly associated with more clinical symptomatology and worse daytime functioning. Subgroup analyses demonstrated that sleep problems were most strongly associated with internalizing and externalizing symptoms and executive functioning, followed by core autism symptoms, family factors, and adaptive functioning. Findings highlight the far-reaching consequences of sleep problems on daytime functioning for autistic individuals and support the continued prioritization of sleep as a target for intervention through integrated care models to improve wellbeing. LAY SUMMARY: Autistic individuals experience higher rates of sleep problems, such as difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, compared to the general population. We quantitatively summarized the literature about how sleep problems are related to different aspects of daytime functioning to identify areas that may be most affected by sleep. Sleep problems were related to all areas assessed, with the strongest associations for mood and anxiety symptoms. We recommend prioritizing sleep health in autistic individuals to improve wellbeing and quality of life.
