Sensory Overresponsivity as a Predictor of Amplitude Discrimination Performance in Youth with ASD / Elizabeth P. MCKERNAN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-9 (September 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-9 (September 2020) . - p.3140-3148 Titre : Sensory Overresponsivity as a Predictor of Amplitude Discrimination Performance in Youth with ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Elizabeth P. MCKERNAN, Auteur ; Ying WU, Auteur ; Natalie RUSSO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3140-3148 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Amplitude discrimination  Autism spectrum disorder  Sensory overresponsivity  Tactile processing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previous studies have suggested that sensory overresponsivity in youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be due to a failure to habituate to stimuli. We examined the relationship between performance on three tactile psychophysical tasks and the construct of sensory overresponsivity in children with and without ASD. Sensory overresponsivity predicted amplitude discrimination with an adapting stimulus, as well as the effect of adaptation, for ASD youth. Results replicate previous research that children with ASD are less affected by the presence of an adapting stimulus as compared to typically developing children, and further suggest that sensory overresponsivity may be the mechanism underlying the observed lack of an adaptation effect in children with ASD.
