Autism Spectrum Disorder

482
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

167
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
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show significant deficits in inhibitory control (IC), particularly when measured indirectly. These findings impact IC research and practical interventions for autism.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Inhibitory control (IC) is crucial for adaptive functioning.
  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with various neurodevelopmental challenges.
  • Understanding IC deficits in ASD is vital for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To meta-analytically investigate inhibitory control (IC) in autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
  • To examine direct and indirect measures of IC and their moderators in ASD.
  • To inform research and clinical practice related to IC in autism.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted two meta-analyses on studies measuring inhibitory control in individuals with and without ASD.
  • Analyzed 164 studies using direct IC measures and 24 studies using indirect measures.
  • Investigated the moderating effects of age, intellectual functioning, presentation format, and ADHD comorbidity.

Main Results:

  • Direct measures revealed a small-to-medium IC deficit in ASD (g=0.484).
  • Indirect measures showed a large IC deficit in ASD (g=1.334).
  • Age and intellectual functioning significantly moderated IC deficits; ADHD comorbidity did not.

Conclusions:

  • Individuals with ASD exhibit significant inhibitory control deficits, more pronounced with indirect measures.
  • Age and intellectual functioning are key factors influencing IC in ASD.
  • Findings highlight the need for tailored interventions addressing IC challenges in autism.
