The use of technology in music education is gaining momentum, although very little work has focused on students with disabilities. Our SoundScape programme addressed this gap through implementing a technology-based for adolescents and young adults autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Programme participants met weekly basis 9 weeks engaged range music-related activities mostly utilising touch screen iPads. We were particularly interested how those ASD responded to the iPad interface its impact...
We present evidence for the affective realism hypothesis, that incidental affect is a key ingredient in an individual's experience of world. In three studies, we used interocular suppression technique (continuous flash [CFS]) to smiling, scowling, or neutral faces suppressed from conscious visual awareness while consciously perceived were presented at different timing intervals: 150 ms before, after, and concurrent with (Studies 1 3) intervals 100 (Study 2). Results all studies revealed...
Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) experience high levels of anxiety and difficulty emotion regulation self-control. Music has been shown to modulate moods emotions may be useful in mediating individuals’ physiological state. This study investigated whether listening preferred self-selected music would have a significant effect regard skin conductance responses, also psychologically as measured by self-report tool, among persons ASD compared matched control group. Results...
The enhanced perceptual processing of visual features in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is supported by an abundance evidence the spatial domain, less robust regarding whether this extends to information presented across time. current study aimed replicate and extend previous work finding that ASD demonstrated accuracy detecting feature‐based (but not categorically defined) targets time, when these were quickly, at a stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) 50 ms per item. Specifically,...
Emotion perception deficits are commonly observed in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Numerous studies have documented emotional recognition of social stimuli among those ASD, such as faces and voices, while far fewer investigated nonsocial this population. In study, participants ASD a comparison group typically developing (TD) control listened to song clips that varied levels pleasantness (valence) arousal. Participants then rated emotions they felt or perceived the music,...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurological condition with increasing prevalence. Few tools accurately predict the developmental trajectory of children ASD. Such would allow clinicians to provide accurate prognoses and track efficacy therapeutic interventions. Salivary RNAs that reflect genetic-environmental interactions underlying ASD may objective measures symptom severity outcomes. This study investigated whether salivary previously identified in childhood remain perturbed...
Guidelines recommend examining psychosocial variables as contributors to postconcussive symptoms. However, few studies examined this relation in a clinic-referred sample and fewer accounted for parent perspective, limiting practitioners implementation of guidance. Therefore, longitudinal study youth parent-reported their association with concussion symptom severity receiving treatment concussion.Youth (n = 121; mean age 15.3 years) recent parents completed measures assessing depression,...
