Conflict adaptation and congruency sequence effects to social–emotional stimuli in individuals with autism spectrum disorders / Whitney WORSHAM in Autism, 19-8 (November 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 19-8 (November 2015) . - p.897-905 Titre : Conflict adaptation and congruency sequence effects to social–emotional stimuli in individuals with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Whitney WORSHAM, Auteur ; Whitney E. GRAY, Auteur ; Michael J. LARSON, Auteur ; Mikle SOUTH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.897-905 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  cognitive control  conflict adaptation  social cognition Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: The modification of performance following conflict can be measured using conflict adaptation tasks thought to measure the change in the allocation of cognitive resources in order to reduce conflict interference and improve performance. While previous studies have suggested atypical processing during nonsocial cognitive control tasks, conflict adaptation (i.e. congruency sequence effects) for social–emotional stimuli have not been previously studied in autism spectrum disorder.Methods: A total of 32 participants diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and 27 typically developing matched controls completed an emotional Stroop conflict task that required the classification of facial affect while simultaneously ignoring an overlaid affective word.Results: Both groups showed behavioral evidence for emotional conflict adaptation based on response times and accuracy rates. However, the autism spectrum disorder group demonstrated a speed-accuracy trade-off manifested through significantly faster response times and decreased accuracy rates on trials containing conflict between the emotional face and the overlaid emotional word.Conclusion: Reduced selective attention toward socially relevant information may bias individuals with autism spectrum disorder toward more rapid processing and decision making even when conflict is present. Nonetheless, the loss of important information from the social stimuli reduces decision-making accuracy, negatively affecting the ability to adapt both cognitively and emotionally when conflict arises.
