Quality matters! Differences between expressive and receptive non-verbal communication skills in adolescents with ASD / Ruth B. GROSSMAN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-3 (July-September 2012)
[article]
Titre : Quality matters! Differences between expressive and receptive non-verbal communication skills in adolescents with ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ruth B. GROSSMAN, Auteur ; Helen TAGER-FLUSBERG, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.1150-1155 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Prosody Facial expressions Expressive Receptive Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We analyzed several studies of non-verbal communication (prosody and facial expressions) completed in our lab and conducted a secondary analysis to compare performance on receptive vs. expressive tasks by adolescents with ASD and their typically developing peers. Results show a significant between-group difference for the aggregate score of expressive tasks, but not for the aggregate score of receptive tasks. There was also a significant within-group difference among individuals with ASD for expressive vs. receptive performance. Our data indicate that adolescents with ASD can achieve receptive accuracy in non-verbal communication, but show significant qualitative deficits in expressive skills across a range of tasks, which may have a significant negative impact on their success as social communicators.

Titre : Reading faces for information about words and emotions in adolescents with autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ruth B. GROSSMAN, Auteur ; Helen TAGER-FLUSBERG, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.681-695 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Facial-expressions Visual-speech Implicit-processing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Studies of explicit processing of facial expressions by individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have found a variety of deficits and preserved abilities compared to their typically developing (TD) peers. However, little attention has been paid to their implicit processing abilities for emotional facial expressions. The question has also been raised whether preferential attention to the mouth region of a speaker's face by ASD individuals has resulted in a relative lipreading expertise. We present data on implicit processing of pseudo-dynamic facial emotions and visual speech in adolescents with autism. We compared 25 ASD and 25 TD participants on their ability to recreate the sequences of four dynamic emotional facial expressions (happy, sad, disgust, and fear) as well as four spoken words (with, bath, thumb, and watch) using six still images taken from a video sequence. Typical adolescents were significantly better at recreating the dynamic properties of emotional expressions than those of facial speech, while the autism group showed the reverse accuracy pattern. For Experiment 2 we obscured the eye region of the stimuli and found no significant difference between the 22 adolescents with ASD and 22 TD controls. Fearful faces achieved the highest accuracy results among the emotions in both groups.

[article]
Titre : Receptive language and receptive-expressive discrepancy in minimally verbal autistic children and adolescents Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yanru CHEN, Auteur ; Brynn SILES, Auteur ; Helen TAGER-FLUSBERG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.381-394 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract Among the approximately one-third of autistic individuals who experience considerable challenges in acquiring spoken language and are minimally verbal (MV), relatively little is known about the range of their receptive language abilities. This study included 1579 MV autistic children and adolescents between 5 and 18?years of age drawn from the National Database for Autism Research and the SFARI Base data repository. MV autistic children and adolescents demonstrated significantly lower receptive language compared to the norms on standardized language assessment and parent report measures. Moreover, their receptive language gap widened with age. Overall, our sample demonstrated significantly better receptive than expressive language. However, at the individual level, only about 25% of MV autistic children and adolescents demonstrated significantly better receptive language relative to their minimal expressive levels. Social skills explained a significant proportion of the variance in parent-reported receptive language skills, while motor skills were the most significant predictor of greater receptive-expressive discrepancy. Findings from this study revealed the heterogeneous language profiles in MV autistic children and adolescents, underscoring the importance of individualizing interventions to match their different communication strengths and needs and integrating multiple interconnected areas to optimize their overall development of language comprehension, socialization, and general motor skills.

Titre : Reciprocal Influences Between Parent Input and Child Language Skills in Dyads Involving High- and Low-Risk Infants for Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Boin CHOI, Auteur ; Charles A. NELSON, Auteur ; Meredith L. ROWE, Auteur ; Helen TAGER-FLUSBERG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1168-1183 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism infant siblings language parent input Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : We examined the language input of parents of infants at high and low familial risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and investigated reciprocal associations between parent input and child language skills in the first 2?years of life. Parent-infant dyads (high-risk: n = 53; low-risk: n = 33), 19 of whom included an infant later diagnosed with ASD, were videotaped during free play interactions at 12, 18, and 24?months. Measures of parent input were derived from parent-child interactions. Children's language skills were assessed using the Mullen Scales of Early Learning at 12, 18, and 24?months. Results suggested that (a) parents of high- and low-risk infants produced similar word tokens, word types, and proportions of contingent verbal responses, but parents of high-risk infants used shorter mean length of utterances (MLU) than parents of low-risk infants at 18 and 24?months; (b) parents' MLU at 18?months was positively associated with their infants' language at the subsequent visit after 6?months, regardless of group; and (c) infants' language at 18?months was positively associated with parents' MLU at the subsequent visit after 6?months in the high-risk group only. These findings contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying early language learning of high-risk infants who have an increased risk for language delays and deficits. Autism Res 2020, 13: 1168-1183. © 2020 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: Parents provide an important source of language input to their children. In this study, we looked at parent input to infants at high- and low-risk for autism spectrum disorder and relations between parent input and child language in the first 2?years of life. We found that parents of high- and low-risk infants provided similar quantity and quality of input, except shorter average length of utterances at 18 and 24?months in the high-risk group. Also, there were bidirectional relations between parent input and child language at 18 and 24?months in high-risk pairs, suggesting that parents and children collectively shape the early language environment.

Titre : Reduced frontal gamma power at 24 months is associated with better expressive language in toddlers at risk for autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : C. L. WILKINSON, Auteur ; A. R. LEVIN, Auteur ; L. J. GABARD-DURNAM, Auteur ; Helen TAGER-FLUSBERG, Auteur ; C. A. NELSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1211-1224 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : children cognitive neuroscience electroencephalography (EEG) infants language Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Frontal gamma power has been associated with early language development in typically developing toddlers, and gamma band abnormalities have been observed in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as high-risk infant siblings (those having an older sibling with ASD), as early as 6 months of age. The current study investigated differences in baseline frontal gamma power and its association with language development in toddlers at high versus low familial risk for autism. Electroencephalography recordings as well as cognitive and behavioral assessments were acquired at 24 months as part of prospective, longitudinal study of infant siblings of children with and without autism. Diagnosis of autism was determined at 24-36 months, and data were analyzed across three outcome groups-low-risk without ASD (n = 43), high-risk without ASD (n = 42), and high-risk with ASD (n = 16). High-risk toddlers without ASD had reduced baseline frontal gamma power (30-50 Hz) compared to low-risk toddlers. Among high-risk toddlers increased frontal gamma was only marginally associated with ASD diagnosis (P = 0.06), but significantly associated with reduced expressive language ability (P = 0.007). No association between gamma power and language was present in the low-risk group. These findings suggest that differences in gamma oscillations in high-risk toddlers may represent compensatory mechanisms associated with improved developmental outcomes. Autism Res 2019, 12: 1211-1224. (c) 2019 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: This study looked at differences in neural activity in the gamma range and its association with language in toddlers with and without increased risk for ASD. At 2 years of age, gamma power was lower in high-risk toddlers without ASD compared to a low-risk comparison group. Among high-risk toddlers both with and without later ASD, reduced gamma power was also associated with better language outcomes, suggesting that gamma power may be a marker of language development in high-risk children.
