Measuring Individual Differences in Cognitive, Affective, and Spontaneous Theory of Mind Among School-Aged Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder / M. ALTSCHULER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-11 (November 2018)

Using open-ended and structured tasks to measure affective ToM, cognitive ToM, and spontaneous social attribution, we explored the nature of ToM and assessed whether ToM predicts the phenotypic heterogeneity in ASD through structural equation modeling. Affective ToM uniquely predicted social symptom severity, whereas no ToM types predicted parent reported social functioning. Our findings suggest that differentiating among theoretical components is crucial for future ToM research in ASD, and ToM challenges related to reasoning about others' emotions may be particularly useful in distinguishing children with worse social symptoms of ASD.

A preliminary randomized, controlled trial of executive function training for children with autism spectrum disorder / S. FAJA in Autism, 26-2 (February 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 26-2 (February 2022) . - p.346-360 Titre : A preliminary randomized, controlled trial of executive function training for children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : S. FAJA, Auteur ; T. CLARKSON, Auteur ; R. GILBERT, Auteur ; A. VAIDYANATHAN, Auteur ; G. GRECO, Auteur ; M. R. RUEDA, Auteur ; L. M. COMBITA, Auteur ; K. DRISCOLL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.346-360 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  clinical trial  event-related potential  executive function  inhibition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Executive function, which is a set of thinking skills that includes stopping unwanted responses, being flexible, and remembering information needed to solve problems, is a challenge for many children on the autism spectrum. This study tested whether executive function could be improved with a computerized executive function training program under the guidance of a coach who reinforced the use of executive function skills. Seventy children with autism spectrum disorder from age 7 to 11?years of age participated in the study. They were randomly assigned to receive training or to a waiting group. The tests most likely to determine whether the training may be effective were chosen from a larger battery before the study started and included one task measuring brain responses, two measures of executive function in the lab, and a parent questionnaire. Changes in social functioning and repetitive behaviors were also explored. All children assigned to training completed the program and families generally reported the experience was positive. Brain responses of the training group changed following training, but not within the waiting group during a similar time period. Children who received training did not exhibit behavioral changes during the two the lab-based tasks. Parent report on questionnaires indicated that neither group showed a significant change in their broad use of executive function in other settings. Yet, children who received training were reported to have fewer restricted and repetitive behaviors following training. These initial findings suggest that short executive function training activities are feasible and may improve some functioning of school-aged children on the autism spectrum.
