Executive Function: Cognition and Behaviour in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) / Kate JOHNSTON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 49-10 (October 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 49-10 (October 2019) . - p.4181-4192 Titre : Executive Function: Cognition and Behaviour in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kate JOHNSTON, Auteur ; Kim MURRAY, Auteur ; Debbie SPAIN, Auteur ; Ian WALKER, Auteur ; Ailsa RUSSELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.4181-4192 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adult  Autism spectrum disorder  Dysexecutive syndrome  Executive function  Neuropsychology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Studies of executive function (EF) in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have reported mixed findings. Possible confounds include EF domain assessed and co-occurring neurodevelopmental diagnoses. EF task performance across multiple domains and everyday function of autistic adults (n = 110) was significantly different to age- and IQ-matched controls (n = 31). Although significantly more likely to fall into the clinically impaired range, 35.8% of the ASD group showed no impairment on EF measures. Factor analysis revealed a single unifying EF construct rather than a selective pattern of impairment. Dysexecutive behaviours were frequently reported in the ASD group, unrelated to Autism symptoms, EF task performance or co-occurring conditions. This study suggests autistic adults can experience clinically significant executive function difficulties and co-occuring dysexecutive behaviours that are disabling in everyday life.

A new test of advanced theory of mind: The “Strange Stories Film Task” captures social processing differences in adults with autism spectrum disorders / Kim MURRAY in Autism Research, 10-6 (June 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 10-6 (June 2017) . - p.1120-1132 Titre : A new test of advanced theory of mind: The “Strange Stories Film Task” captures social processing differences in adults with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kim MURRAY, Auteur ; Kate JOHNSTON, Auteur ; Helen CUNNANE, Auteur ; Charlotte KERR, Auteur ; Debbie SPAIN, Auteur ; Nicola GILLAN, Auteur ; Neil HAMMOND, Auteur ; Declan G.M. MURPHY, Auteur ; Francesca HAPPE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1120-1132 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  adults  advanced theory of mind  social cognition  empathy  mentalising  alexithymia Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Real-life social processing abilities of adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) can be hard to capture in lab-based experimental tasks. A novel measure of social cognition, the “Strange Stories Film task’ (SSFt), was designed to overcome limitations of available measures in the field. Brief films were made based on the scenarios from the Strange Stories task (Happé) and designed to capture the subtle social-cognitive difficulties observed in ASD adults. Twenty neurotypical adults were recruited to pilot the new measure. A final test set was produced and administered to a group of 20 adults with ASD and 20 matched controls, alongside established social cognition tasks and questionnaire measures of empathy, alexithymia and ASD traits. The SSFt was more effective than existing measures at differentiating the ASD group from the control group. In the ASD group, the SSFt was associated with the Strange Stories task. The SSFt is a potentially useful tool to identify social cognitive dis/abilities in ASD, with preliminary evidence of adequate convergent validity. Future research directions are discussed.
