Older children and adolescents with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders can comprehend verbal irony in computer-mediated communication / Melanie GLENWRIGHT in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 6-2 (April-June 2012) . - p.628-638 Titre : Older children and adolescents with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders can comprehend verbal irony in computer-mediated communication Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Melanie GLENWRIGHT, Auteur ; Abiola S. AGBAYEWA, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.628-638 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Verbal irony  Computer-mediated communication  High-functioning autism spectrum disorders (HFASD)  Social demands  Verbal demands Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We compared the comprehension of verbal irony presented in computer-mediated conversations for older children and adolescents with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders (HFASD) and typically developing (TD) controls. We also determined whether participants’ interpretations of irony were affected by the relationship between characters in the interactions. Participants role-played as addressees in computer-mediated conversations that contained ironic and literal remarks made by speakers and that varied according to the speaker's relationship with the addressee: a same-aged friend, an older relative, or no relationship information. Children and adolescents with HFASD were just as accurate as TD controls in comprehending ironic criticisms and in judging the speaker's intentions to criticize and to convey humor. Both participant groups considered the speaker's relationship with the addressee in their attributions of the ironic speaker's belief but not the speaker's intentions to convey criticism or humor. Unlike TD controls who commented on the context when typing their initial thoughts, participants with HFASD provided no response. The two groups, however, provided similarly themed typed responses for both ironic criticisms and literal compliments. We suggest that tasks which impose minimal social and verbal demands offer a promising way to assess pragmatic abilities in individuals with HFASD.

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.
