Conversational Topic Shifts and Topic Maintenance in Autistic and Neurotypical Children

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Topic maintenance and topic shifts are crucial components of conversation; however, existing research lacks a clear quantitative operationalization of these topic management skills. Previous studies suggest that autistic children are less likely than their neurotypical peers to maintain and elaborate on the interlocutor's prior topic, and that

Stepping over obstacles: Attention demands and aging

, 2009
Older adults have been shown to trip on obstacles despite taking precautions to step carefully. It has been demonstrated in dual-task walking that age-related decline in cognitive and attentional mechanisms can compromise postural management. This is yet

Decreased BOLD Signal Variability in Middle‐Aged and Older Adults on the Autism Spectrum

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder. Preliminary evidence suggests an increased risk for early‐onset cognitive and neurological decline in ASD. While brain development in children, adolescents, and young adults with ASD diverges from neurotypical (NT) peers, it remains unclear in older adults with ASD ...
