Titre : An Autism Screening Expert System: Reliability, Validity and Factorial Structure Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Maryam MAHMOUDI, Auteur ; Saeed AKBARI-ZARDKHANEH, Auteur ; Amir Ali BAGHER ZADEH, Auteur ; Bagher GHOBARI-BONAB, Auteur ; Mohsen SHOKOOHI-YEKTA, Auteur ; Hadi MORADI, Auteur ; Hamid Reza POURETEMAD, Auteur Article en page(s) : 7 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Children with autism  Expert system  Screening  Validity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Purpose: The main aim of the current study was to develop an expert system for screening autism spectrum disorders. The statistical properties of the system were further examined. Methods: To design an expert system, having a reliable and valid knowledge base (KL) is very important. To provide the knowledge base, items linked to autism diagnoses were collected from the literature and then reviewed by a group of psychologists and psychometrists experts. The questionnaire was completed by parents of children with autism (85), parents of normal children (65) and parents of children with Down syndrome (20). Next, some psychometric and machine learning methods were implemented to select the items having more power to discriminate children with autism from normal children and children with Down syndrome and evaluate its reliability and validity features. Results: Findings yielded good reliability (0.96) and criterion validity (0.86) for the system. The accuracy was about 0.93 and .92, using Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machines (SVM)), respectively. In addition, specificity and sensitivity of the system using SVM is 84.1 and 98.5%, respectively, while RF is 73.4 specificity and 99.3% sensitivity. Conclusion: This system can be considered as a reliable and valid system for screening ASDs.

Case Report of the Unique Effects of ABA on A Child with Autism in Iran / Hamid Reza POURETEMAD in Autism - Open Access, 7-1 ([01/01/2017])  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism - Open Access > 7-1 [01/01/2017] . - 5 p. Titre : Case Report of the Unique Effects of ABA on A Child with Autism in Iran Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hamid Reza POURETEMAD, Auteur ; Sima SANIEE, Auteur ; Sabira KANJI, Auteur Article en page(s) : 5 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Applied behavior analysis  Parental engagement  Neurodevelopment disorder  ASD Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The purpose of this research is to introduce a child aged 3 years and 8 months who was referred to the Centre for the treatment of autistic disorders and started ABA therapy. This case has great significance in that many cases involving children undergoing ABA usually receive other treatments such as speech and occupational therapy alongside or prior to receiving ABA. This trend adds to the psychological stress that families go through and can introduce additional financial strain on families. Due to this on-going trend of multiple therapies for treatment of autism, the occurrence of a child exclusively received ABA is very rare. Part of this issue is because of the increasing number of disciplines and the competition that exists between them. In this study the effectiveness of one to one ABA on a child with autism has been studied for a period of 10 months. On the bases of GARS questionnaire, autism treatment checklist (ATEC), clinical observations and parental reports the child showed significant improvement in speech, sensory, relationship and cognitive items. During the treatment period, increase parent involvement was both encouraged and increased. Thus, it can be concluded that ABA alongside parental engagement seems to be an effective therapeutic intervention on its own.

Priming Global Processing Strategy Improves the Perceptual Performance of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Golnoosh SOROOR in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-3 (March 2022)

We observed that in comparison with the TD group, children with ASD had lower performance in an information integration task that required identification of illusory shapes. Additionally, we observed that priming the global processing strategy increased the correct identification of the illusory shapes in the subsequent task. We suggested that studies on priming effect shed light on the different aspects of perceptual properties of ASD, and could also be used in developing new rehabilitation plans.

Reading the mind in the face and voice in parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Maryam TAJMIRRIYAHI in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-12 (December 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 7-12 (December 2013) . - p.1543-1550 Titre : Reading the mind in the face and voice in parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Maryam TAJMIRRIYAHI, Auteur ; Vahid NEJATI, Auteur ; Hamid Reza POURETEMAD, Auteur ; Rouhollah Mansuri SEPEHR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1543-1550 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Theory of mind  Reading the Mind in the Eyes  Reading the Mind in the Voice Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract One core feature of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is impairment in social functioning and inferring mental states and emotions referred to theory of mind (TOM). The “Broad Autism Phenotype” (BAP) proposes that defining features of autism express in milder form among first degree relatives of these patients. Theory of mind deficits has been examined using advanced TOM tasks such as “Reading the Mind in the Eyes”. This study has furthered previous findings using another test designed to tap higher TOM abilities named “Mind Reading in the Voice”. The objective of this study is to examine theory of mind abilities from two main communicative sources in parents of children with ASD in contrast to two groups, one clinical and one non-clinical. Forty-eight parents of individuals with autism, 31 parents of individuals with Down syndrome and 30 parents of typically developed children were administered two tests of mind-reading. Analysis revealed that although there is not a significant difference between three groups’ performance in “Mind Reading from Eyes”, parents of children with ASD have significantly lower performance in “Mind Reading from Voice”. It can be concluded that TOM deficits in parents of children with ASD are not restricted to inferring mental states form eyes and deficits in mind-reading from voice could also be a part of BAP.
