Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

527
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.

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

82
According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

278
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

53.7K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

351
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.

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

215
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.

Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental psychology
  • Clinical psychology
  • Neurodevelopmental disorders

Background:

  • Sensory abnormalities (SAs) are increasingly recognized in children.
  • Children with SAs often exhibit social challenges.
  • Understanding the link between SAs and social functioning is crucial for early intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between sensory abnormalities and social functioning in school-age children.
  • To compare social functioning in children with SAs, typical development (TD), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Main Methods:

  • Standardized measures were used to assess social functioning.
  • Participants included school-age children with SAs, TD, and ASD.

Main Results:

  • Children with SAs displayed significantly impaired social functioning compared to TD children.
  • Social functioning in children with SAs was comparable to that of children with ASD.
  • A dose-response relationship was observed: more SAs correlated with poorer social functioning across all groups.

Conclusions:

  • Children with SAs experience clinically significant social functioning deficits.
  • Sensory abnormalities represent a key factor impacting social development.
  • Further research is needed to develop targeted interventions for improving social skills in children with SAs.
