Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Feldman, Jacob I.; Kuang, Wayne; Conrad, Julie G.; Tu, Alexander; Santapuram, Pooja; Simon, David M.; Foss-Feig, Jennifer H.; Kwakye, Leslie D.; Stevenson, Ryan A.; Wallace, Mark T.; Woynaroski, Tiffany G. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Research shows that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) differ in their behavioral patterns of responding to sensory stimuli (i.e., sensory responsiveness) and in various other aspects of sensory functioning relative to typical peers. This study explored relations between measures of sensory responsiveness and multisensory speech…

A Pupillometry Study of Multisensory Social and Linguistic Processing in Autism and Typical Development
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Segers, Magali; Bebko, James M.; Zapparoli, Busisiwe L.; Stevenson, Ryan A. – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by impairments in social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors. Many studies have demonstrated atypical responses to audiovisual sensory inputs, particularly those containing sociolinguistic information. It is currently unclear whether these…

Linking Anxiety and Insistence on Sameness in Autistic Children: The Role of Sensory Hypersensitivity
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Black, Karen R.; Stevenson, Ryan A.; Segers, Magali; Ncube, Busiswe L.; Sun, Sol Z.; Philipp-Muller, Aviva; Bebko, James M.; Barense, Morgan D.; Ferber, Susanne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Sensory hypersensitivity and insistence on sameness (I/S) are common, co-occurring features of autism, yet the relationship between them is poorly understood. This study assessed the impact of sensory hypersensitivity on the clinical symptoms of specific phobia, separation anxiety, social anxiety and I/S for autistic and typically developing (TD)…

Stevenson, Ryan A.; Segers, Magali; Ncube, Busisiwe L.; Black, Karen R.; Bebko, James M.; Ferber, Susanne; Barense, Morgan D. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2018
It has been recently theorized that atypical sensory processing in autism relates to difficulties in social communication. Through a series of tasks concurrently assessing multisensory temporal processes, multisensory integration and speech perception in 76 children with and without autism, we provide the first behavioral evidence of such a link.…

Stevenson, Ryan A.; Siemann, Justin K.; Woynaroski, Tiffany G.; Schneider, Brittany C.; Eberly, Haley E.; Camarata, Stephen M.; Wallace, Mark T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
Atypical communicative abilities are a core marker of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). A number of studies have shown that, in addition to auditory comprehension differences, individuals with autism frequently show atypical responses to audiovisual speech, suggesting a multisensory contribution to these communicative differences from their…

Evidence for Diminished Multisensory Integration in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Stevenson, Ryan A.; Siemann, Justin K.; Woynaroski, Tiffany G.; Schneider, Brittany C.; Eberly, Haley E.; Camarata, Stephen M.; Wallace, Mark T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) exhibit alterations in sensory processing, including changes in the integration of information across the different sensory modalities. In the current study, we used the sound-induced flash illusion to assess multisensory integration in children with ASD and typically-developing (TD) controls.…
