Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Humans  Autistic Disorder  Autism Spectrum Disorder  Facial Recognition  Emotions  Amygdala/diagnostic imaging  Amygdala  Autism  Emotion processing  Face processing  fMRI Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Autistic and non-autistic individuals often differ in how they perceive and show emotions, especially in their ability and inclination to infer other people's feelings from subtle cues like facial expressions. Prominent theories of autism have suggested that these differences stem from alterations in amygdala functioning and that amygdala hypoactivation causes problems with emotion recognition. Thus far, however, empirical investigations of this hypothesis have yielded mixed results and largely relied on relatively small samples. METHODS: In a sample of 72 autistic and 79 non-autistic participants, we conducted a study in which we used the Hariri paradigm to test whether amygdala activation during emotional face processing is altered in autism spectrum disorder, and whether common mental disorders like depression, ADHD or anxiety disorders influence any potential alterations in activation patterns. RESULTS: We found no evidence for differences in amygdala activation, neither when comparing autistic and non-autistic participants, nor when taking into account mental disorders or the overall level of functional impairment. LIMITATIONS: Because we used one basic emotion processing task in a Dutch sample, results might not generalise to other tasks and other populations. CONCLUSIONS: Our results challenge the view that autistic and non-autistic processing of emotional faces in the amygdala is vastly different and call for a more nuanced view of differences between non-autistic and autistic emotion processing.

Is a Negative Attentional Bias in Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder Explained by Comorbid Depression? An Eye-Tracking Study / M. Annemiek BERGMAN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 51-11 (November 2021)

Evidence is emerging for a negative attentional bias in Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), perhaps driven by the high comorbidity between ASD and depression. We investigated whether ASD is characterised by a negative attentional bias and whether this can be explained by comorbid (sub) clinical depression. Participants (n = 116) with current (CD) or remitted depression (RD) and/or ASD, and 64 controls viewed positively and negatively valenced (non-)social pictures. Groups were compared on three components of visual attention using linear mixed models. Both CD individuals with and without ASD, but not remitted depressed and never-depressed ASD individuals showed a negative bias, suggesting that negative attentional bias might be a depressive state-specific marker for depression in ASD.

Systematic review of cognitive biases in autism spectrum disorders: A neuropsychological framework towards an understanding of the high prevalence of co-occurring depression / M. Annemiek BERGMAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 69 (January 2020)

Annemiek BERGMAN, Auteur ; Aart H. SCHENE, Auteur ; Constance T.W.M. VISSERS, Auteur ; Janna N. VRIJSEN, Auteur ; Cornelis C. KAN, Auteur ; Iris VAN OOSTROM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101455 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Major depression  Affective stimuli  Information processing bias  Cognitive bias Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Cognitive theories of major depressive disorder (MDD) assume that cognitive biases engender and maintain depressive symptoms. Given the higher prevalence of MDD in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) than in the general population, we performed a structured review of the empirical literature on cognitive biases in ASD to examine the possible role of biases in the increased cognitive vulnerability for MDD. Method We reviewed the recent literature on cognitive biases in individuals with ASD. Literature searches were conducted by using the databases PubMed and PsycInfo consistent with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) standards. The 31 identified studies meeting our inclusion criteria were evaluated for quality using a modified version of the Systematic Assessment of Quality in Observational Research (SAQOR) rating system. Results The results show that half of the studies included did not find differences in cognitive biases in individuals with ASD compared to controls. In the studies that did establish differences in cognitive bias, individuals with ASD were reported to show less pronounced negative biases. A closer inspection reveals that Theory of Mind demands of the task and developmental age might partially have influenced these results. Importantly, most of the studies included did not control for symptoms of depression and/or anxiety. Conclusions Although, based on the current literature, differential cognitive biases may not be a marker for MDD in ASD, more research is needed taking specific potential confounders, and distorting influences into account.
