Iliev, Rumen; Axelrod, Robert – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2017
We introduce a novel measure of abstractness based on the amount of information of a concept computed from its position in a semantic taxonomy. We refer to this measure as "precision". We propose two alternative ways to measure precision, one based on the path length from a concept to the root of the taxonomic tree, and another one based…

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.…

Sabatos-DeVito, Maura; Schipul, Sarah E.; Bulluck, John C.; Belger, Aysenil; Baranek, Grace T. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
This study used a gap-overlap paradigm to examine the impact of distractor salience and temporal overlap on the ability to disengage and orient attention in 50 children (4-13 years) with ASD, DD and TD, and associations between attention and sensory response patterns. Results revealed impaired disengagement and orienting accuracy in ASD.…

Nowell, Sallie W.; Watson, Linda R.; Crais, Elizabeth R.; Baranek, Grace T.; Faldowski, Richard A.; Turner-Brown, Lauren – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand how joint attention and sensory-regulatory features are related in early childhood and predict language and social-communication outcomes in preschool in order to build mechanistic theories that can inform early intervention directed at improving these outcomes. Method: Cross-lagged panel…

Ng, Oi-Lam; Shi, Lian; Ting, Fridolin – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: This paper compares the effects of two classroom-based technology-enhanced teaching interventions, conducted in two schools in sixth (age 11-12) grade. In one school, the intervention involves the use of a class set of 3D Printing Pens, and in another school the use of dynamic geometry environments, for inquiry-based learning of the…

Elia Olivares – ProQuest LLC, 2020
The cultural and linguistic diversity of our nation continues to grow and the skills needed by speech-language pathologists to address the needs of their existing caseload continue to be vast. According to the ASHA (2016) Schools Survey, only 8% of speech-language pathologists (n=1689) reported feeling very qualified to address cultural and…

Schwarz, Amy Louise; Van Kleeck, Anne; Maguire, Mandy J.; Abdi, Herve – Journal of Child Language, 2017
To better understand how toddlers integrate multiple learning strategies to acquire verbs, we compared sensorimotor recruitment and comparison learning because both strategies are thought to boost children's access to scene-level information. For sensorimotor recruitment, we tested having toddlers use dolls as agents and compared this strategy…

Rhoda Snow Creech – ProQuest LLC, 2021
The number of individuals with comorbid visual impairment and autism spectrum disorder is growing rapidly. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to describe the lived experiences of teachers who strategically create active learning culture for tactile-defensive students who have autism and visual impairment. Little research…

Weiner, Brad; Grenier, Michelle – Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, 2020
This article presents information on the impact of hyper or hypo-sensory responses and specific strategies that can balance the systems. We examine the five sensory systems (tactile, auditory, visual, proprioceptive, and vestibular), common behaviors associated with each system, and recommend instructional strategies designed to support student…

Shirama, Aya; Kanai, Chieko; Kato, Nobumasa; Kashino, Makio – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
We examined the factors that influence ocular fixation control in adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) including sensory information, individuals' motor characteristics, and inhibitory control. The ASD group showed difficulty in maintaining fixation especially when there was no fixation target. The fixational eye movement characteristics of…

This study examined sensory responsiveness in unaffected siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and associations between sensory responsiveness and social severity. Sensory Profile Caregiver Questionnaires and Social Responsiveness Scales were completed by parents of 185 children between age 4 and 10.95 years. Significant…

Purpose: Various directional hypotheses for the observed links between aging, hearing, and cognition have been proposed: (a) cognitive load on perception hypothesis, (b) information degradation hypothesis, (c) sensory deprivation hypothesis, and (d) common cause hypothesis. Supporting evidence for all 4 hypotheses has been reported. No studies…

Piller, Aimee; Torrez, Elizabeth – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2019
Fine motor deficits are often correlated with poor handwriting which can impact a variety of academic-related tasks. Occupational therapists (OTs) frequently provide interventions for the remediation of handwriting difficulties. Evidence exists to provide information as to the most effective forms of interventions used by occupational therapists.…

Noddings, Alicia – Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, 2017
Sensory processing disorder occurs when one's body is unable to deal successfully with the information that it receives through its senses. The manifestation of this inability can appear in many ways, but, in order for the disorder label to apply, it must occur with frequency, intensity, and/or duration. Such dysfunction generally appears through…
