This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Syntactic, semantic, and phonological knowledge are vital aspects of macro level language ability. Prior research has focused on environmental or cortical sources of individual differences in these areas. Subcortical contributions of the auditory brainstem have also been found to contribute to language ability in both typically developing (TD) populations and children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study investigates whether one aspect of auditory brainstem responses (ABRs), response stability, a metric of the variability of instance to instance neural encoding of sound, can predict syntactic, semantic, and phonological performance in TD and ASD school-aged children. This study further investigates the degree to which phonological discrimination serves as a moderator of any relationship found between /da/ stability and syntax and semantics. Results showed that higher /da/ stability was associated with better phonological discrimination and syntactic performance in both TD and ASD children. Furthermore, phonological discrimination was a successful mediator of the relationship between /da/ stability and syntactic performance. This study supports the growing body of literature that stable subcortical neural encoding of sound is important for language development.

Download or read book Innovative Investigations of Language in Autism Spectrum Disorder written by Letitia Naigles and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, a growing number of children have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a condition characterized by, among other features, social interaction deficits and language impairment. Yet the precise nature of the disorder’s impact on language development is not well understood, in part because of the language variability among children across the autism spectrum. The contributors to this volume — experts in fields ranging from communication disorders to developmental and clinical psychology to linguistics — use innovative techniques to address two broad questions: Is the variability of language development and use in children with ASD a function of the language, such that some linguistic domains are more vulnerable to ASD than others? Or is the variability a function of the individual, such that some characteristics predispose those with ASD to have varying levels of difficulty with language development and use? Contributors investigate these questions across linguistic levels, from lexical semantics and single-clause syntax, to computationally complex phonology and the syntax-pragmatics interface. Authors address both spoken and written domains within the wider context of language acquisition. This timely and broadly accessible volume will be of interest to a broad range of specialists, including linguists, psychologists, sociologists, behavioral neurologists, and cognitive neuroscientists.
Download or read book First Words written by Barbara Levine Offenbacher and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2012-11-24 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Words: A Parent's Step-by-Step Guide to Helping a Child with Speech and Language Delays gives parents the information they need to allow them to stimulate their child’s speech and language. Parents are given actual samples of how children with autism and other language delays respond differently to questions and how their responses can be redirected in order to start building connections. Offenbacher explains terms such as speech and language, typical language delay, PDD-Pervasive Developmental Delay, ASD-Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asperger’s Syndrome, and ABA-Applied Behavioral Analysis. The book outlines the typical developmental steps of speech and language acquisition, and where parents should begin when starting to help their child. It suggests the types of toys, and experiences that stimulate language, as well as a floor plan to arrange a “work area” and learning center in their home. It provides check lists for them to evaluate their child every step of the way and set meaningful and attainable goals. This book is not meant to replace professional intervention. But it guides parents in becoming a para-speech partner in maximizing the stimulation their child receives so they develop skills for communicating.

Download or read book Prelinguistic and Minimally Verbal Communicators on the Autism Spectrum written by Deb Keen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws on contemporary theory and recent findings to provide researchers, professionals, undergraduate and graduate students with essential resources, allowing them to better understand and support children, youth and adults with autism and significant communication impairments. The book consists of 11 chapters organized into 3 sections detailing typical and atypical prelinguistic development for individuals on the autism spectrum, together with a range of assessment and intervention approaches that clinicians and educators can draw on in practice. The book adopts a lifespan perspective, recognizing that there is an important and particularly challenging sub-group of children on the spectrum who remain minimally verbal beyond the age of 8 years. Each chapter summarizes current research on a selected topic, identifies key challenges faced by researchers, educators and clinicians, and considers the implications for research and practice. The concluding chapter considers issues of research translation and how educators and clinicians can encourage the use of evidence-based practices for prelinguistic and minimally verbal individuals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers wide areas of animal and human psychopharmacology with clinical utility in the treatment of psychiatric and neurological (e.g Alzheimer's disease) disorders. The main theme is to develop a new paradigm for drug discovery that questions the claim that animal models or assays fail adequately to predict Phase 3 clinical trials. A new paradigm is advocated that stresses the importance of intermediate staging points between these extremes that depend on suitable translation of findings from animal studies to Phase 1 or Phase 2 studies utilising experimental medicine.

Download or read book Communication Problems in Autism written by Eric Schopler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North Carolina State Legislature's mandate to Division TEACCH has three major components. First, to provide the most up-to-date and cost effective services possible for families with autistic or similar language impaired children; second, to conduct research aimed toward the better under standing of such devastating disorders; and third, to provide training for the professionals needed to pursue these goals. One element in achieving these aims is to hold annual conferences on topics of special importance to the under standing and treatment of autism and similar disorders. In addition to training professionals and parents on the most recent de velopments in each conference topic, we are publishing a series, Current Issues in Autism, based on these conferences. These books are not, however, simply the published proceedings of the conference papers. Instead, some chapters are expanded conference presentations, whereas others come from national and in ternational experts whose work is beyond the scope of the conference, but es sential in our attempt at comprehensive coverage of the conference theme. These volumes are intended to provide the most current knowledge and profes sional practice available to us at the time.

Download or read book Language and Audiovisual Speech Perception in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders ASD written by Jacqueline E. Brown and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have deficits in social communication. Current social communication measures include joint attention as part of diagnostic criteria for ASD. Since joint attention can involve spoken language, both auditory and visual inputs must be considered in its evaluation. Objective measures, such as event related potentials (ERP) allow for the measurement of brain responses to different sensory information like auditory (voices) and visual (faces) stimuli. In this paper, ERP (N1 and P2) responses to a speaking face with a visible mouth (AudioVisual, AV) and one with a covered (pixelated) mouth (pixilated, PX) were analyzed for a group of typically developing (TD) participants (N = 10) and participants with ASD (N = 10) (Figure 1: shows images of the two conditions). In addition, the relationships between language and vocabulary scores and N1 and P2 responses were explored. Results indicated no significant group differences for listening condition (AV and PX) for the N1 or P2 response (Figure 2: shows the means and standard deviations for the ERP response to /a/ for the PX and AV conditions), suggesting that children with ASD and those with TD do not differ in processing these signals at the level of the auditory cortex. Moreover, children with ASD did not show differences in ERP response between the AV and PX conditions suggesting no influence of visual speech input on speech sound processing. Finally, the language measures used in this study did not significantly correlate to N1 or P2 amplitudes (Figure 3: shows mean scores and standard deviations for language and cognitive assessments), suggesting no relationship between the language skills and ERP response to AV speech.
