Titre : Accurate or Assumed: Visual Learning in Children with ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : David TREMBATH, Auteur ; Giacomo VIVANTI, Auteur ; Teresa IACONO, Auteur ; Cheryl DISSANAYAKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3276-3287 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Augmentative communication AAC Visual attention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are often described as visual learners. We tested this assumption in an experiment in which 25 children with ASD, 19 children with global developmental delay (GDD), and 17 typically developing (TD) children were presented a series of videos via an eye tracker in which an actor instructed them to manipulate objects in speech-only and speech + pictures conditions. We found no group differences in visual attention to the stimuli. The GDD and TD groups performed better when pictures were available, whereas the ASD group did not. Performance of children with ASD and GDD was positively correlated with visual attention and receptive language. We found no evidence of a prominent visual learning style in the ASD group.

Titre : Adaptation of object descriptions to a partner under increasing communicative demands: a comparison of children with and without autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Aparna NADIG, Auteur ; Giacomo VIVANTI, Auteur ; Sally OZONOFF, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.334-347 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : social-cognition developmental-psychology Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study compared the object descriptions of school-age children with high-functioning autism (HFA) with those of a matched group of typically developing children. Descriptions were elicited in a referential communication task where shared information was manipulated, and in a guessing game where clues had to be provided about the identity of an object that was hidden from the addressee. Across these tasks, increasingly complex levels of audience design were assessed: (1) the ability to give adequate descriptions from one's own perspective, (2) the ability to adjust descriptions to an addressee's perspective when this differs from one's own, and (3) the ability to provide indirect yet identifying descriptions in a situation where explicit labeling is inappropriate. Results showed that there were group differences in all three cases, with the HFA group giving less efficient descriptions with respect to the relevant context than the comparison group. More revealing was the identification of distinct adaptation profiles among the HFA participants: those who had difficulty with all three levels, those who displayed Level 1 audience design but poor Level 2 and Level 3 design, and those demonstrated all three levels of audience design, like the majority of the comparison group. Higher structural language ability, rather than symptom severity or social skills, differentiated those HFA participants with typical adaptation profiles from those who displayed deficient audience design, consistent with previous reports of language use in autism.

Titre : An Italian Prospective Study on Autism Treatment: The Earlier, the Better? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Giacomo VIVANTI, Auteur ; Barbara MANZI, Auteur ; Arianna BENVENUTO, Auteur ; Barbara BATTAN, Auteur ; Paolo CURATOLO, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : 4 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorders Early diagnosis andtreatment Cognitive and behavioral outcomes Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Neurocognitive models of autism suggest that starting a treatment at a younger age might be a
critical factor in promoting optimal outcomes. The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between age at start
of treatment and outcomes in a group of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) in Italy.
Methods: Thirty-nine children between 22 and 77 months of age diagnosed with ASDs were divided into
two groups on the basis of their age at start of a community-based behavioral treatment. Measures of severity of
symptoms, cognitive abilities and adaptive functioning were collected at the beginning of the treatment (Time 1)
and one year after (Time 2) to examine group differences in treatment outcomes. Our working hypothesis was that
children who started the treatment at a younger age would show a more positive response to treatment compared
to children who started at later age.
Results: Compared with children who received a diagnosis and started the treatment at a later age, children
in the early treatment group showed a better outcome in terms of attenuation of symptoms severity. No group
differences were found in terms of adaptive functioning and cognitive abilities, with both groups equally improving
their performance.
Conclusions: Age at start of the treatment seems to be an important factor to promote gains in the social-
communication domain. However, gains in adaptive functioning and cognitive skills in our sample were not related to
age. The positive effect of a community-based intervention in children with an early diagnosis of ASDs might be due
to the plasticity of neural systems in age-dependent stages. The possibility that early intervention could substantially
alter the course of behavioral and brain development in children with autism points to the urgent need for more
research on treatment in this population.En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.4172/2165-7890.1000102 Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=153

ROUX, Auteur ; Elizabeth MCGHEE HASSRICK, Auteur ; Kristen LYALL, Auteur ; Lindsay SHEA, Auteur ; Giacomo VIVANTI, Auteur ; Andrea WIECKOWSKI TRUBANOVA, Auteur ; Craig NEWSCHAFFER, Auteur ; Diana L. ROBINS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.592-601 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder/diagnosis Autistic Disorder/diagnosis Humans Public Health Quality of Life autism spectrum disorder communication knowledge Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Most published autism research, and the funding that supports it, remains focused on basic and clinical science. However, the public health impact of autism drives a compelling argument for utilizing a public health approach to autism research. Fundamental to the public health perspective is a focus on health determinants to improve quality of life and to reduce the potential for adverse outcomes across the general population, including in vulnerable subgroups. While the public health research process can be conceptualized as a linear, 3-stage path consisting of discovery - testing - translation/dissemination/implementation, in this paper we propose an integrated, cyclical research framework to advance autism public health objectives in a more comprehensive manner. This involves discovery of primary, secondary and tertiary determinants of health in autism; and use of this evidence base to develop and test detection, intervention, and dissemination strategies and the means to implement them in 'real world' settings. The proposed framework serves to facilitate identification of knowledge gaps, translational barriers, and shortfalls in implementation; guides an iterative research cycle; facilitates purposeful integration of stakeholders and interdisciplinary researchers; and may yield more efficient achievement of improved health and well-being among persons on the autism spectrum at the population-level. LAY SUMMARY: Scientists need better ways to identify and address gaps in autism research, conduct research with stakeholders, and use findings to improve the lives of autistic people. We recommend an approach, based in public health science, to guide research in ways that might impact lives more quickly.
