A special interest group (SIG) entitled "Older Adults with ASD: The Consequences of Aging" was held at the International Society for Autism Research (INSAR) annual meetings in 2016 and 2017. SIG subsequent brought together, first time, international delegates who were members autistic community, researchers, practitioners service providers. Based on aging autism research that is already underway UK, Europe, Australia North America, discussions focussed conceptualising parameters when...
Episodic memories are multidimensional, including simple and complex features. How we successful encode recover these features in time, whether temporal dynamics preserved across age, even under conditions of reduced memory performance, the role attention on is unknown. In current study, applied time-resolved multivariate decoding to oscillatory electroencephalography (EEG) an adult lifespan sample investigate order encoding recognition perceptual context At encoding, participants studied...
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...
Previous studies have attempted to separate single trial neural responses for events a person is likely remember from those they are forget using machine learning classification methods. Successful holds potential translation into the clinical realm real-time detection of memory and other cognitive states provide interventions (i.e., brain-computer interfaces). However, most these studies—and analyses in general— do not make clear if chosen methodology optimally suited memory-related brain...
Abstract Emerging evidence has suggested that the tendency for older adults to bind too much contextual information during encoding (i.e., hyper-binding) may contribute poorer memory relevant retrieval. While these findings are consistent with theories of age-related declines in selective attention and inhibitory control, degree which able selectively attend is unknown. To better understand neural dynamics associated encoding, current study applied multivariate pattern analyses (MVPA)...
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....
