Background Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is among the most common psychiatric disorders of childhood that often persists into adulthood and old age. Yet ADHD currently underdiagnosed undertreated in many European countries, leading to chronicity symptoms impairment, due lack of, or ineffective treatment, higher costs illness. Methods The Network Adult Section for Neurodevelopmental Disorders Across Lifespan (NDAL) Psychiatric Association (EPA), aim increase awareness...
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental that often persists into adulthood, affecting approximately 1.5% - 3% of the adult population in Portugal. Untreated ADHD adults associated with increased risks substance abuse, criminality, poor academic and professional performance. Less than 20% are properly diagnosed treated due to overlapping symptoms other psychopathological comorbidities, lack awareness, prejudice surrounding this disorder. This position paper...
In the present study, we aimed to evaluate hypothesis that reported discrepancy in performance of verbal fluency individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), characterized by an overall word productivity impairment normal clustering and switching abilities, may be due initiation deficit. evaluated temporal dynamics both letter semantic tasks a sample 20 young adults high-functioning ASD compared gender-, age-, education-, verbal-IQ-matched participants. We first qualitative analysis...
We tested whether individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are impaired in visuospatial working memory or the use of semantic system, particular categorization processes at service memory. The performance high-functioning ASD (N = 21) a visual same-different task adapted from Lachmann and van Leeuwen [e.g., Lachmann, T., & Leeuwen, C. (2010). Representational economy, not processing speed, determines preferred strategy patterns. Acta Psychologica, 134(3), 290-298] was compared to...
Are face recognition difficulties in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) related to impaired holistic processing? Gauthier et al. [Gauthier, I., Klaiman, C., & Schultz, R. T. (2009). Face composite effects reveal abnormal processing spectrum disorders. Vision Research, 49, 470–478. doi:10.1016/j.visres.2008.12.007] used the task adolescents with autism and found a congruency effect that was not modulated by alignment, result which interpreted as reflecting qualitatively different mechanisms. In...
Objective: Every-day social interactions, such as conversations, are characterized by turn-taking, i.e. the frequent switch between role of speaker and listener. Individuals have to coordinate their actions with great precision achieve smooth rapid turn-transitions observed in naturalistic interactions. For this, participants need predict turn completions, estimate duration, initiate a response well before end an ongoing turn. In this study we evaluate whether cognitively able autistic...
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that impairs executive functions, leads to maladaptive behavior and, in about 50%, has livelong persistence. Nevertheless, adult very much under-diagnosed condition. We conducted study aimed identify special population of adults. Questionnaires were applied the parents children attending CADIn, Clinical Centre for Developmental Disorders evaluation or intervention (48% their diagnosed as having and 22% Pervasive Disorder). expected higher incidence this...
Semantic meaning can be extracted from pictures presented very briefly, in the order of tens milliseconds. This ultra‐rapid categorization processing appears to respect a coarse‐to‐fine path where lower level representations concepts, or more detailed information, need additional time. We question whether variations levels typicality target‐item would implicate for correct classification, both neurotypical (NT) individuals and with autism spectrum disorder ( ASD ). Previous research points...
As pessoas sofrendo de PHDA estao mais sujeitas do que a populacao em geral sentir determinadas dificuldades e sofrer acidentes, por descuido. A surge frequentemente associada outras doencas psiquiatricas.
BACKGROUND: Several authors have now contributed to the neurocognitive understanding of timing. In Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) on other hand little is known about timing representations and its functioning. this study we adapted a simple finger-tapping motor task, with component, as aim at whether processing time preserved in population. METHODS: We tested group people spectrum autism without intellectual disabilities control sample recruited from general population, matched for age,...
Abstract Several authors have contributed extensively to the neurocognitive understanding of timing. In Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) on contrary, internal timing and its functioning is not well understood. this study, we adapted a simple finger‐tapping motor task, with component, as aim at whether processing time preserved in population. We tested group people autism spectrum without intellectual disabilities control sample recruited from general population, matched for age, sex, schooling...
