Priming the Meaning of Homographs in Typically Developing Children and Children with Autism / Suzanne HALA in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 37-2 (February 2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 37-2 (February 2007) . - p.329-340 Titre : Priming the Meaning of Homographs in Typically Developing Children and Children with Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Suzanne HALA, Auteur ; Penny M. PEXMAN, Auteur ; Melanie GLENWRIGHT, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.329-340 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Cognition Executive-function Weak-central-coherence Priming Homographs Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Two explanations for deficits underlying autism were tested: weak central coherence (WCC) and executive dysfunction. Consistent with WCC, Happé (British Journal of Developmental Psychology 15 (1997) 1) found that children with autism failed to use sentence context in pronouncing homographs. In an alternate approach, we investigated whether children with autism can use meanings of related word primes. We presented children with autism and controls with primes for homographs, semantically related, and unrelated targets. Children with autism used primes to correctly pronounce homographs upon first presentation but showed difficulty inhibiting prior responses upon later presentation of the homographs with different primes. Children with autism also showed semantic priming effects. We conclude that children with autism do not show an absolute deficit in ability to use contextual information.

Processing of Ironic Language in Children with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder / Penny M. PEXMAN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 41-8 (August 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 41-8 (August 2011) . - p.1097-1112 Titre : Processing of Ironic Language in Children with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Penny M. PEXMAN, Auteur ; Kristin R. ROSTAD, Auteur ; Carly A. MCMORRIS, Auteur ; Emma A. CLIMIE, Auteur ; Jacqueline STOWKOWY, Auteur ; Melanie GLENWRIGHT, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.1097-1112 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Verbal irony  High-functioning Autism spectrum disorder  Language processing  Eye gaze  Figurative language Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We examined processing of verbal irony in three groups of children: (1) 18 children with high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder (HFASD), (2) 18 typically-developing children, matched to the first group for verbal ability, and (3) 18 typically-developing children matched to the first group for chronological age. We utilized an irony comprehension task that minimized verbal and pragmatic demands for participants. Results showed that children with HFASD were as accurate as typically-developing children in judging speaker intent for ironic criticisms, but group differences in judgment latencies, eye gaze, and humor evaluations suggested that children with HFASD applied a different processing strategy for irony comprehension; one that resulted in less accurate appreciation of the social functions of irony.
