Book Synopsis Word-Learning Strategies of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Understanding of Referential Intent by : Kristina E. Patrick
Download or read book Word-Learning Strategies of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: Understanding of Referential Intent written by Kristina E. Patrick and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As typically developing children begin to understand joint attention, they become avid word learners (Baldwin, 1991). In contrast, children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) often struggle with joint attention and word learning (Baron-Cohen, Baldwin, & Crowson, 1997), although more linguistically advanced syntactic abilities are often intact (Tager-Flusberg et al, 1990). We sought to explore the roles of attention and social understanding in the abilities of children with and without ASD to map novel nouns to their intended referents. After their receptive vocabulary skills were assessed, children with ASD (ages 2 to 10) and matched controls were taught novel words while a speaker gazed at, or gazed at and pointed to, touched, or manipulated a referent object. Sessions were coded for word-mapping accuracy and children's direction of gaze during teaching episodes. Controls of all ages, and ASD children over 6.5 years, mapped correctly in all four conditions, but ASD children 6.5 years and younger performed above chance only in conditions that included a manual gesture. Children with ASD looked at the experimenter less often during teaching episodes than controls, and time spent looking at the experimenter was predictive of word learning for all children. Looks to the target during teaching did not differ by group and were not predictive of performance. Knowledge of nouns, but not verbs, was predictive of performance for controls while knowledge of verbs, but not nouns, predicted performance in children with ASD. Results suggest not only a word-learning delay, but qualitatively different developmental trajectories, for children with autism spectrum disorders compared to typically developing children.
Book Synopsis Word Learning in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders by : Allison Frances Bean

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We hypothesize that, when all else is equal, providing a label does not make the target distinct enough to support word-referent pairings for children who are not consistently attending to the speaker. Overall, the ASD group demonstrated greater within group variability in their attention than the RVM group. Gaze following was variable across (and within) the ASD group. The within subject variability suggests some children with ASD are slow to appreciate eye gaze cues in unfamiliar contexts.
Book Synopsis Developmental Psycholinguistics by : Irina A. Sekerina
Download or read book Developmental Psycholinguistics written by Irina A. Sekerina and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2008-01-09 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do infants and young children coordinate information in real time to arrive at sentence meaning from the words and structure of the sentence and from the nonlinguistic context? This volume introduces readers to an emerging field of research, experimental developmental psycholinguistics, and to the four predominant methodologies used to study on-line language processing in children. Authored by key figures in psycholinguistics, neuroscience and developmental psychology, the chapters cover event-related brain potentials, free-viewing eyetracking, looking-while-listening, and reaction-time techniques, also providing a historical backdrop for this line of research. Multiple aspects of experimental design, data collection and data analysis are addressed in detail, alongside surveys of recent important findings about how infants and children process sounds, words, and sentences. Indispensable for students and researchers working in the areas of language acquisition, developmental psychology and developmental neuroscience of language, this volume will also appeal to speech language pathologists and early childhood educators.
Book Synopsis Language Development in Preschool Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders by : Amie M. Williams
Download or read book Language Development in Preschool Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders written by Amie M. Williams and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children with typical development utilize social-cognitive skills (e.g., joint attention, imitation) and word learning constraints to quickly learn new words (i.e., fast-map). However, few studies have investigated fast-mapping in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and the effects that social-cognitive skills have on word learning. The objectives of the current study were to examine the following questions: (1) Do preschoolers with ASD and preschoolers with typical development fast-map at similar rates?; (2) Do preschoolers with ASD utilize word learning constraints?; and (3) What is the relationship between joint attention, imitation, and fast-mapping in preschoolers with ASD? Preschoolers with ASD and typical development completed a basic fast-mapping condition (i.e., the ability to link a novel label with a novel object) and 3 conditions measuring the uses of word learning constraints; (1) Mutual Exclusivity - examined the ability to assume that a novel label applies to a novel object; (2) Taxonomic - examined the ability to assume that novel labels extend to objects that are similar in shape; and (3) Whole-Object - examined the ability to assume that novel labels refer to whole objects. Various assessments measured language, joint attention, and imitation skills. Results revealed that children with ASD showed equivalent word learning to children with typical development in the basic fast-mapping condition. This intact word learning occurred despite significantly lower joint attention and imitation skills. However, children with ASD were less effective at using word learning constraints, showing significantly less word learning in these conditions than children with typical development. Further, while increased joint attention was related to performance in the mutual exclusivity and taxonomic constraints for both diagnostic groups, joint attention was only related to performance in the basic fast-mapping condition for children with typical development. Overall, preschoolers with ASD fast-mapped and learned new words in a similar manner to children with typical development, despite impairments in joint attention and imitation. However, children with ASD were less accurate at utilizing word learning constraints. Although research has emphasized the link between social-cognitive skills and language, the current study suggests that children with ASD may be utilizing alternative strategies or skills to increase their vocabulary.

Book Synopsis Visual Disengagement and Word Learning in Chidren with Autism Spectrum Disorder by : Melissa Griffith
Download or read book Visual Disengagement and Word Learning in Chidren with Autism Spectrum Disorder written by Melissa Griffith and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This current project discusses correlations between visual attention and word learning in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and children with typical development (TD). The study examined the role of visual disengagement, specifically the difficulty some children have with breaking visual attention to a fixed stimulus. Participants were 19 children with ASD (age 4-7) and 21 children with TD (age 2-7). Eye tracking was used to examine word learning and visual attention. Novel word learning and visual disengagement were significantly correlated in the children with ASD (r = -0.43, one-tailed p = 0.03) when considering the timeout trials but were not significantly correlated in the children with TD (r = -0.19, one-tailed p = 0.21). However, the correlation between novel word learning and visual disengagement in children with ASD was no longer significant after controlling for age. Results suggest that it is important to consider the role of attention in word learning for children with ASD.

Book Synopsis Statistical Word Learning in Children with Language Disorders by :

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Word learning abilities are important for academic and social development. As such, it is necessary to understand the mechanistic underpinnings of word learning in children with typical and atypical development. This study examined word learning mechanisms in children with typical development, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and specific language impairment (SLI) who were matched on chronological age and nonverbal cognition. Specifically, abilities in statistical learning and fast mapping were examined. This study was the first to examine whether the output of statistical learning enhanced word learning abilities in school age children with typical and atypical language development. It was found that children with SLI have deficits in statistical learning and fast mapping abilities, relative to children with ASD and typical development. In addition, exploratory analyses revealed that statistical learning and fast mapping abilities in children with ASD who have concomitant language impairments are relatively intact, but slightly depressed. Lastly, when examining the role of statistical learning in word learning, it was found that exposure to an artificial language that contains some of the words presented in a subsequent word learning task enhanced learning in children with SLI. However, the word learning appeared to have been facilitated by the exposure to the sounds in the artificial language instead of the statistical structure. Implications to theory are discussed.

Book Synopsis Communication Problems in Autism by : Eric Schopler
Download or read book Communication Problems in Autism written by Eric Schopler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North Carolina State Legislature's mandate to Division TEACCH has three major components. First, to provide the most up-to-date and cost effective services possible for families with autistic or similar language impaired children; second, to conduct research aimed toward the better under standing of such devastating disorders; and third, to provide training for the professionals needed to pursue these goals. One element in achieving these aims is to hold annual conferences on topics of special importance to the under standing and treatment of autism and similar disorders. In addition to training professionals and parents on the most recent de velopments in each conference topic, we are publishing a series, Current Issues in Autism, based on these conferences. These books are not, however, simply the published proceedings of the conference papers. Instead, some chapters are expanded conference presentations, whereas others come from national and in ternational experts whose work is beyond the scope of the conference, but es sential in our attempt at comprehensive coverage of the conference theme. These volumes are intended to provide the most current knowledge and profes sional practice available to us at the time.
Book Synopsis Intact Statistical Word Learning in Autism Spectrum Disorders by : Jessica Mayo

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have impairments in language acquisition, but the underlying mechanism of these deficits is poorly understood. Implicit learning appears potentially relevant to language development, particularly in speech segmentation, which relies on sensitivity to the transitional probabilities between speech sounds. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between implicit learning and current language abilities in school-aged children with autism (n = 17) and typical development (n = 24) using a well-studied artificial language learning task. Results suggest that the ASD and TD groups were equally able to implicitly learn transitional probabilities from a lengthy stimulus stream. Furthermore, task performance was not strongly associated with current language abilities. Implications for implicit learning research in ASD are discussed.
Book Synopsis Innovative Investigations of Language in Autism Spectrum Disorder by : Letitia Naigles
Download or read book Innovative Investigations of Language in Autism Spectrum Disorder written by Letitia Naigles and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, a growing number of children have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a condition characterized by, among other features, social interaction deficits and language impairment. Yet the precise nature of the disorder’s impact on language development is not well understood, in part because of the language variability among children across the autism spectrum. The contributors to this volume — experts in fields ranging from communication disorders to developmental and clinical psychology to linguistics — use innovative techniques to address two broad questions: Is the variability of language development and use in children with ASD a function of the language, such that some linguistic domains are more vulnerable to ASD than others? Or is the variability a function of the individual, such that some characteristics predispose those with ASD to have varying levels of difficulty with language development and use? Contributors investigate these questions across linguistic levels, from lexical semantics and single-clause syntax, to computationally complex phonology and the syntax-pragmatics interface. Authors address both spoken and written domains within the wider context of language acquisition. This timely and broadly accessible volume will be of interest to a broad range of specialists, including linguists, psychologists, sociologists, behavioral neurologists, and cognitive neuroscientists.
