Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 16-12 (December 2023) . - p.2415-2431 Titre : Clinical utility of the standardized observation tool Autism Behavior Coding System for early intervention research in autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Marianne NOTTER, Auteur ; Olga LAZARI, Auteur ; Klaus SCHMECK, Auteur ; Evelyn HERBRECHT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2415-2431 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract The Autism Behavior Coding System (ABCS) was developed to help evaluating the effectiveness of early intensive interventions in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The video-based ABCS assesses eight core autistic behavioral variables during therapist-child interaction using standardized quantitative criteria, four behaviors according to their frequency of occurrence, four according to their duration. The present study focuses (1) on the correspondence of ABCS scores with scores on two standard clinical instruments (the ADOS-2 and an ASD-adaptation of the Children's Global Assessment Scale, DD-CGAS), (2) on the sensitivity to change of ABCS scores by the end of an intensive 18?days intervention period (EIP) and (c) on the predictability of short- and longer-term changes in social and repetitive behaviors from ABCS scores at baseline and EIP. Data from 51 children (42 M, 9 F; median age 45?months) followed over 1?year were available. There were significant correlations at baseline between several ABCS scores and ADOS-2 as well as DD-CGAS scores. Correlations at EIP between some ABCS and DD-CGAS scores were highly significant. Four ABCS scores reflected significant changes from baseline to EIP. Several baseline ABCS scores were predictive of DD-CGAS and ADOS-2 scores at EIP and Year 1. However, associations between ABCS score changes from baseline to EIP and the clinical scale changes by Year 1 were not significant. It is concluded that several ABCS scores have adequate clinical validity and sensitivity to change. The short-term changes in ABCS scores and their relationship to longer-term clinical changes need further study.

Empathy deficits, callous-unemotional traits and structural underpinnings in autism spectrum disorder and conduct disorder youth / Antonia TKALCEC in Autism Research, 16-10 (October 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 16-10 (October 2023) . - p.1946-1962 Titre : Empathy deficits, callous-unemotional traits and structural underpinnings in autism spectrum disorder and conduct disorder youth Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Antonia TKALCEC, Auteur ; Maria BIERLEIN, Auteur ; Gudrun SEEGER-SCHNEIDER, Auteur ; Susanne WALITZA, Auteur ; Bettina JENNY, Auteur ; Willeke M.

COLE, Auteur ; Nora RASCHLE, Auteur ; Evelyn HERBRECHT, Auteur ; Christina STADLER, Auteur ; Ana CUBILLO, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1946-1962 Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Distinct empathy deficits are often described in patients with conduct disorder (CD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) yet their neural underpinnings and the influence of comorbid Callous-Unemotional (CU) traits are unclear. This study compares the cognitive (CE) and affective empathy (AE) abilities of youth with CD and ASD, their potential neuroanatomical correlates, and the influence of CU traits on empathy. Adolescents and parents/caregivers completed empathy questionnaires (N?=?148 adolescents, mean age?=?15.16?years) and T1 weighted images were obtained from a subsample (N?=?130). Group differences in empathy and the influence of CU traits were investigated using Bayesian analyses and Voxel-Based Morphometry with Threshold-Free Cluster Enhancement focusing on regions involved in AE (insula, amygdala, inferior frontal gyrus and cingulate cortex) and CE processes (ventromedial prefrontal cortex, temporoparietal junction, superior temporal gyrus, and precuneus). The ASD group showed lower parent-reported AE and CE scores and lower self-reported CE scores while the CD group showed lower parent-reported CE scores than controls. When accounting for the influence of CU traits no AE deficits in ASD and CE deficits in CD were found, but CE deficits in ASD remained. Across all participants, CU traits were negatively associated with gray matter volumes in anterior cingulate which extends into the mid cingulate, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and precuneus. Thus, although co-occurring CU traits have been linked to global empathy deficits in reports and underlying brain structures, its influence on empathy aspects might be disorder-specific. Investigating the subdimensions of empathy may therefore help to identify disorder-specific empathy deficits.

A randomized cross-over trial investigating the neurocognitive effects of acute exercise on face recognition in children with autism spectrum disorder / Sebastian LUDYGA in Autism Research, 16-8 (August 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 16-8 (August 2023) . - p.1630-1639 Titre : A randomized cross-over trial investigating the neurocognitive effects of acute exercise on face recognition in children with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sebastian LUDYGA, Auteur ; Markus GERBER, Auteur ; Fabienne BRUGGISSER, Auteur ; Rahel LEUENBERGER, Auteur ; Mark BROTZMANN, Auteur ; Sarah TRESCHER, Auteur ; Markus FÖRSTER, Auteur ; Liye ZOU, Auteur ; Evelyn HERBRECHT, Auteur ; Manuel HANKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1630-1639 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Difficulties in face recognition contribute to social-cognitive problems in autistic children. Evidence on behavioral interventions targeting this cognitive domain is limited. In non-autistic individuals, a single exercise session is known to elicit temporary benefits for several cognitive functions. Our study investigates whether acute aerobic exercise influences face recognition in autistic children. In a randomized order, 29 participants completed a 20-min moderately-intense cycling bout on an ergometer and a control condition. Before and after each condition, participants categorized Mooney faces and instruments during a computerized cognitive task. Simultaneously, the N170 component of event-related potentials and pupil size were recorded using electroencephalography and eyetracking, respectively. As indicated by a greater increase of reaction time in the exercise compared to the control condition, the results revealed impaired face recognition following aerobic exercise. This effect was accompanied by a lower decrease of the positive N170 amplitude and a trend towards a greater constriction of the pupil size in the exercise compared to the control condition. Our findings highlight the interplay of the physiological state and face recognition in autistic children. Exercise-induced impairments in this social-cognitive ability may be due to an interference with the learning effect that is typically seen for the structural encoding of faces.
