Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

1.5K
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

643
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

698
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

918
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Barriers to Effective Communication I01:30

Barriers to Effective Communication I

11.9K
A communication barrier is any distortion or interruption during a conversation, resulting in miscommunication of the message. A good communicator should know these barriers and continuously check for the listener's understanding by obtaining feedback.
Communication barriers include the following:
Physiological barriers: They are limitations caused by a person's health condition or disability, such as hearing loss, poor eyesight, illness, or unconsciousness. An example to overcome this...

Area of Science:

  • Neurodevelopmental Disorders
  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is frequently associated with motor, speech, and language impairments.
  • The relationship between motor skills and communication deficits in ASD requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the association between fine motor (FM) and gross motor (GM) skills and speech-language deficits in children with ASD.
  • To explore the link between motor skills and social interaction in the ASD population.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of data from 1781 children (2-17 years) with ASD from the Autism Speaks-Autism Treatment Network (AS-ATN) registry.
  • Multivariate regression analyses adjusted for age, non-verbal IQ, ADHD medication, and muscle tone.
  • Assessment of associations between FM/GM skills and expressive language (EL), receptive language (RL), and social interactions.

Main Results:

  • Fine motor skills showed positive associations with expressive and receptive language in children with impaired fine motor skills.
  • Impaired gross motor skills were negatively associated with receptive language but not expressive language.
  • Both fine and gross motor skills were associated with social interactions in children with ASD.

Conclusions:

  • Fine and gross motor skills may differentially contribute to the diverse profiles observed in autism spectrum disorder.
  • Understanding these motor-language-social connections can inform tailored interventions for communication and social challenges in ASD.
