Background/Objectives: Teachers play a significant role in the identification and intervention of neurodevelopmental disorders such as ASD ADHD. However, their perceptions ASD+ADHD comorbidity remain underexplored. This study investigates teachers’ estimates prevalence perceived preparedness to teach students with co-occurring diagnoses, exploring key predictors both outcomes. Methods: Pre-K-12 teachers (N = 199) completed demographic questions four additional questionnaires assessing ASD-...
Abstract Research on memory in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) finds increased difficulty encoding contextual associations episodic and suggests executive dysfunction (e.g., selective attention, cognitive flexibility) deficient metacognitive monitoring as potential contributing factors. Findings from our lab suggest that age-related impairments attention contribute to those context accuracy older adults tended show dependence between relevant irrelevant details (i.e., hyper-binding). Using an...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with episodic memory impairment. However, memories include a variety of contextual details, and it difficult to solely rely on behavioral data assess how specifically (i.e. event-specific reinstatement) an event remembered. We applied encoding-retrieval representational similarity (ERS) analysis EEG ERS for object-context associations in sample 34 adults (17 with, 17 without ASD). Participants studied objects presented alongside 2 features:...
Over the past 20+ years, researchers have worked toward identifying early behavioral predictors of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developing observation-based screeners to supplement existing parent-report methods. This study is a follow-up, 3 8 years later, with parents/caregivers 57 children previously enrolled in U.S. university-based evaluating ASD-risk. The original evaluated infants’ (ages 15–35 months) ASD-risk through both screeners. At caregivers completed phone interview...
Abstract Research on memory in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) finds increased difficulty encoding contextual associations episodic and suggests executive dysfunction deficient metacognitive monitoring as potential contributing factors. Using an aging framework, we tested the effects of selective attention context ASD. We evaluated performance, hyper-binding, metamemory performance a novel task. Results showed that adults with ASD performed similarly to typically developed all measures....
