We compared the odour awareness of young children with ASD with those of typical development (TD) children using the Children's Olfactory Behavior in Everyday Life (COBEL) questionnaire, which is a self-report measure that mainly assesses odour awareness. Forty-five young boys (aged 5-6 years), including 20 children with ASD and 25 TD children, participated in this study. The total COBEL score of the young children with ASD was lower than that of the TD children (p < 0.01). Moreover, the total COBEL score was significantly correlated with the total VABS II score (p < 0.05). Our results improve understanding of the odour awareness in children with ASD.

Joint attention and intelligence in children with autism spectrum disorder without severe intellectual disability / M. SANO in Autism Research, 14-12 (December 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-12 (December 2021) . - p.2603-2612 Titre : Joint attention and intelligence in children with autism spectrum disorder without severe intellectual disability Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : M. SANO, Auteur ; Y. YOSHIMURA, Auteur ; T. HIROSAWA, Auteur ; C. HASEGAWA, Auteur ; Kyung-Min AN, Auteur ; S. TANAKA, Auteur ; N. NAITOU, Auteur ; M. KIKUCHI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2603-2612 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder/complications  Child  Child, Preschool  Cognition  Early Intervention, Educational  Humans  Intellectual Disability/complications  Intelligence  Kaufman Assessment Battery (K-ABC)  autism  autism diagnostic observation schedule  children  intelligence  joint attention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), joint attention is regarded as a predictor of language function, social skills, communication, adaptive function, and intelligence. However, existing information about the association between joint attention and intelligence is limited. Most such studies have examined children with low intelligence. For this study, we investigated whether joint attention is related to intelligence in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) without severe intellectual disability. We analyzed 113 children with ASD aged 40-98?months. Their Kaufman Assessment Battery (K-ABC) Mental Processing Index (MPI) scores are 60 and more (mean 93.4). We evaluated their intelligence using K-ABC and evaluated their joint attention using ADOS-2. After we performed simple regression analyses using K-ABC MPI and its nine subscales as dependent variables, using joint attention as the independent variable, we identified joint attention as a positive predictor of the MPI and its two subscales. From this result, we conclude that joint attention is related to intelligence in young children with ASD without severe intellectual disability. This result suggests a beneficial effect of early intervention targeting joint attention for children with ASD. LAY SUMMARY: Joint attention is the ability to coordinate visual attention with another person and then shift one's gaze toward an object or event. Impairment of joint attention is regarded as an early marker of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study revealed impairment of joint attention as associated with lower intelligence in ASD children. These results are expected to constitute a rationale for future studies, particularly addressing beneficial effects of early intervention targeting joint attention for children with ASD.

The impact of robotic intervention on joint attention in children with autism spectrum disorders / H. KUMAZAKI in Molecular Autism, 9 (2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inMolecular Autism > 9 (2018) . - 46p. Titre : The impact of robotic intervention on joint attention in children with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : H. KUMAZAKI, Auteur ; Y. YOSHIKAWA, Auteur ; Y. YOSHIMURA, Auteur ; T. IKEDA, Auteur ; C. HASEGAWA, Auteur ; Daisuke N. SAITO, Auteur ; S. TOMIYAMA, Auteur ; Kyung-Min AN, Auteur ; J. SHIMAYA, Auteur ; H. ISHIGURO, Auteur ; Y. MATSUMOTO, Auteur ; Y. MINABE, Auteur ; M. KIKUCHI, Auteur Article en page(s) : 46p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders  Intervention  Joint attention  Robot  Typical development Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: A growing body of anecdotal evidence indicates that the use of robots may provide unique opportunities for assisting children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, previous studies investigating the effects of interventions using robots on joint attention (JA) in children with ASD have shown insufficient results. The robots used in these studies could not turn their eyes, which was a limitation preventing the robot from resembling a human agent. Methods: We compared the behavior of children with ASD with that of children with typical development (TD) during a JA elicitation task while the children interacted with either a human or a robotic agent. We used the robot "CommU," which has clear eyes and can turn its eyes, for the robotic intervention. The age range of the participants was limited to 5-6 years. Results: Sixty-eight participants participated in this study, including 30 (10 females and 20 males) children with ASD and 38 (13 females and 25 males) children with TD. The participants were randomly assigned to one of the following two groups: the robotic intervention group or the control group. JA in the children with ASD was better during the robotic intervention than during the human agent intervention. These children exhibited improved performance in the JA task with human after interacting with the robot CommU. JA was differentially facilitated by the human and robotic agents between the ASD and TD children. Conclusions: The findings of this study significantly contribute to the literature on the impact of robots on JA and provide information regarding the suitability of specific robot types for therapeutic use.
