Comparison of behavioral intervention and sensory-integration therapy in the treatment of self-injurious behavior.
(Elsevier, 2009)The current study investigates the comparative effects of sensory-integration therapy and behavioral interventions on rates of self-injurious behaviour (SIB) in a nine-year-old boy with a diagnosis of autism. A functional ... -
A comparison of video modeling and pivotal response training to teach pretend play skills to children with autism Spectrum disorder
(Elsevier, 2010-11-20)This study aimed to directly compare the effectiveness of Pivotal Response Training (PRT) and Video Modeling (VM) in the acquisition and generalization of scripted play verbalizations and actions as well as the use of ... -
Complex comorbid presentations are associated with harmful behavior problems among children and adolescents with cerebral palsy
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-06-07)Aim Frequency and relationship between gastrointestinal symptoms, sleep problems, internalizing and externalizing symptoms, behavior problems and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms, and predictors of behavior problems ... -
The computation of shape orientation in search for Kanizsa figures
(Pion Ltd, 2009-01-29)Previous studies of visual search for illusory figures have provided equivocal results, with efficient search for Kanizsa squares (eg Davis and Driver, 1994 Nature 371 291-293) contrasting with inefficient search for Kanizsa ... -
Computerised working memory‐based cognitive remediation therapy does not affect Reading the Mind in The Eyes test performance or neural activity during a Facial Emotion Recognition test in psychosis

The contrasting impact of global and local object attributes on Kanizsa figure detection
(Psychonomic Society, 2007-11)Studies on the involvement of object completions in search for illusory figures have so far reported equivocal results. We have addressed this issue by investigating at which level object attributes in Kanizsa figures ... -
Coupling of autism genes to tissue-wide expression and dysfunction of synapse, calcium signalling and transcriptional regulation.
(Public Library of Science, 2020-12-18)Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous disorder that is often accompanied with many co-morbidities. Recent genetic studies have identified various pathways from hundreds of candidate risk genes with varying ... -
Cultivating thought-full and creative thinkers: A comment on quality merging Costa with Claxton et al.
