Characterizing cognitive and visuomotor control in children with sensory processing dysfunction and autism spectrum disorders.

摘要: Objective Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and sensory processing dysfunction (SPD) are reported to show difficulties involving cognitive visuomotor control. We sought determine whether performance on computerized, behavioral measures of control aimed at assessing selective attention, as well abilities differentiated children ASD (n = 14), SPD 14) typically developing controls (TDC; n 28). Method Cognitive differences were measured by attention-based both without distracting stimuli, characterizing tracking tracing skills. Performance in domains investigated globally composite scores, specifically within each task. Results Our results indicated that though the group showed most impaired attention performance, had intermediate abilities-performing above but below TDC group. Furthermore, groups demonstrated equally relative A correlational analysis between suggest a relationship these overlapping networks. Conclusions This study supports importance direct, phenotypic characterizations control-based personalize characterization treatment interventions for at-risk children. (PsycINFO Database Record
