autism spectrum

  • I don’t have Lynn Koegel at my side so these are the answers of a mom who’s been through a lot of this and NOT of an autism expert who runs a clinic, so any mistakes I make are my own, not hers!
  • But the whole point of speech is to nail down that one-to-one correlation between the sound and the object it represents.
  • As far as the “up” thing goes, one thing that Lynn and I strongly agree on is that even though kids with special needs may at times require special attention, they also need to learn that the world doesn’t revolve around them–just like every kid needs to learn.

  • The ASD performed worse than the typically developing group across the entire grammaticality judgment task. However, the authors noted that the groups did NOT differ when the sentences were short or medium length. That is, the apparent relative weaker performance among the ASD group was mostly during long sentences. In addition, these group differences were more pronounced when the error was located at the end of long sentences. This indicates that the group differences may be due to difficulty in working memory and attention among the autism group.
  • However, it is unlikely that these findings are only attributable to working memory problems. Specifically, the ASD groups showed impaired performance only to some type grammatical errors but not others. That is, the ASD group had difficulty identifying omissions and substitution errors, but did not show difficulty identifying order or insertion errors. This suggests that attention and working memory difficulties interact with some unique deficits in grammaticality judgment.

    Regular readers of this blog will know that I subscribe to the incentive salience theory of doapmaine propounded by Berridge et al. As per this theory dopamine mediates the salience of an internal/ external stimulus and endows and activates the motivational salience related to that stimulus. In simple words the mesolimbic dopamine systems serves to identify the importance of a stimulus to us- be it aversive or pleasurable.
