Enhanced Memory for Vocal Melodies in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Williams Syndrome / M. W. WEISS in Autism Research, 14-6 (June 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-6 (June 2021) . - p.1127-1133 Titre : Enhanced Memory for Vocal Melodies in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Williams Syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : M. W. WEISS, Auteur ; M. SHARDA, Auteur ; M. LENSE, Auteur ; K. L. HYDE, Auteur ; S. E. TREHUB, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1127-1133 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Adult  Auditory Perception  Autism Spectrum Disorder/complications  Child  Humans  Music  Voice  Williams Syndrome/complications  Williams syndrome  autism  memory  vocalization Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Adults and children with typical development (TD) remember vocal melodies (without lyrics) better than instrumental melodies, which is attributed to the biological and social significance of human vocalizations. Here we asked whether children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), who have persistent difficulties with communication and social interaction, and adolescents and adults with Williams syndrome (WS), who are highly sociable, even indiscriminately friendly, exhibit a memory advantage for vocal melodies like that observed in individuals with TD. We tested 26 children with ASD, 26 adolescents and adults with WS of similar mental age, and 26 children with TD on their memory for vocal and instrumental (piano, marimba) melodies. After exposing them to 12 unfamiliar folk melodies with different timbres, we required them to indicate whether each of 24 melodies (half heard previously) was old (heard before) or new (not heard before) during an unexpected recognition test. Although the groups successfully distinguished the old from the new melodies, they differed in overall memory. Nevertheless, they exhibited a comparable advantage for vocal melodies. In short, individuals with ASD and WS show enhanced processing of socially significant auditory signals in the context of music. LAY SUMMARY: Typically developing children and adults remember vocal melodies better than instrumental melodies. In this study, we found that children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, who have severe social processing deficits, and children and adults with Williams syndrome, who are highly sociable, exhibit comparable memory advantages for vocal melodies. The results have implications for musical interventions with these populations.

"Intolerance of uncertainty" mediates the relationship between social profile and anxiety in both Williams syndrome and autism / M. SOUTH in Autism Research, 14-9 (September 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 14-9 (September 2021) . - p.1986-1995 Titre : "Intolerance of uncertainty" mediates the relationship between social profile and anxiety in both Williams syndrome and autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : M. SOUTH, Auteur ; M. HANLEY, Auteur ; K. NORMANSELL-MOSSA, Auteur ; N. C. C. RUSSELL, Auteur ; Thomas CAWTHORNE, Auteur ; D. M. RIBY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1986-1995 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Adult  Anxiety/complications  Autism Spectrum Disorder/complications  Autistic Disorder/complications  Child  Child, Preschool  Cross-Sectional Studies  Humans  Uncertainty  Williams Syndrome/complications  Young Adult  Intolerance of Uncertainty  Williams syndrome  anxiety  autism  children  social function  social profile Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Anxiety is the most significant mental health concern for both Williams syndrome (WS) and autism. Whilst WS and autism are characterized by some syndrome-specific social differences, less is known about cross-syndrome profiles of anxiety symptoms. Previous research has shown that Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU) is a core mechanism of anxiety maintenance for clinically anxious populations and for autistic children, adolescents, and adults. The only published study in this area for WS has shown some similar patterns-with an added emphasis on the role of sensory sensitivities-in a sample of older teens and adults (mean age = 24), with the authors highlighting the need for younger samples to consider developmental influences. Here we report a cross-syndrome, cross-sectional mediation analyses of children diagnosed with WS or autism, including data from parent surveys of 90 children with WS (n = 48) or autism (n = 42). Group differences showed higher trait levels on all measures for the autism group. Importantly, the relationship between social profile and anxiety was fully mediated by IU level for both groups. This suggests possible similar core mechanisms underlying anxiety in these conditions, and the possibility of generalized intervention approaches especially related to managing distress related to uncertainty in multiple contexts. LAY SUMMARY: Autism and Williams Syndrome share some similarities in social profile and also in anxiety traits, but there are also some key differences as well. Comparing them side-by-side at the same time improved identification of ways to reduce feelings of anxiety. We found that the intolerance of uncertainty affected the relationship between social profile and anxiety in the same way for young children diagnosed with autism or Williams syndrome, meaning that intervention approaches could be similar for both.
