VAN GEERT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3089-3100 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Executive function  Cognitive flexibility  BRIEF  IQ Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functions (BRIEF) screens for executive function deficits in 5- to 18-year-olds. Data of three autism subgroups, according to DSM-IV-TR criteria (N = 35 Autistic Disorder, N = 27 Asperger’s Disorder and N = 65 PDD-NOS), were analyzed. The total group has elevated scores on almost all BRIEF scales. The Shift scale is clinically elevated, reflecting a deficit in cognitive flexibility. The BRIEF scales are not found to discriminate among the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) subgroups. The relation between BRIEF and IQ is complex. Possible influencing factors are discussed. Finally, it is recommended to omit the Negativity scale as a validity index in children with ASD and to consider a high score on this index as a unique characteristic of their BRIEF profile, reflecting rigidity problems.

Measuring Theory of Mind in Children. Psychometric Properties of the ToM Storybooks / E. M. A. BLIJD-HOOGEWYS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38-10 (November 2008)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 38-10 (November 2008) . - p.1907-1930 Titre : Measuring Theory of Mind in Children. Psychometric Properties of the ToM Storybooks Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : E. M. A. BLIJD-HOOGEWYS, Auteur ; Ruud B. MINDERAA, Auteur ; P. L. C. VAN GEERT, Auteur ; M. SERRA, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.1907-1930 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Theory-of-Mind Storybooks Validation Reliability Normal-children Autism-spectrum-disorder Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although research on Theory-of-Mind (ToM) is often based on single task measurements, more comprehensive instruments result in a better understanding of ToM development. The ToM Storybooks is a new instrument measuring basic ToM-functioning and associated aspects. There are 34 tasks, tapping various emotions, beliefs, desires and mental-physical distinctions. Four studies on the validity and reliability of the test are presented, in typically developing children (n = 324, 3–12 years) and children with PDD-NOS (n = 30). The ToM Storybooks have good psychometric qualities. A component analysis reveals five components corresponding with the underlying theoretical constructs. The internal consistency, test–retest reliability, inter-rater reliability, construct validity and convergent validity are good. The ToM Storybooks can be used in research as well as in clinical settings.
