ABSTRACT

Relationships analysis between perceptual-cognitive factors and behavioural variables it makes up autism spectrum disorder (ASD) differential specific diagnosis, constitute a fundamental recurrent of currently research, then found data allow the construction of integrated evaluation scales to validate more complete and reliable diagnosis of people with ASD.

The interdimensional diagnostic Scale has been applied and coded for 10 dimensions: 1) conceptual units, 2) signifiers, 3) hierarchy, 4) nodal relationships, 5) categorical relationships, 6) Recovery, 7) social interaction, 8) social communication, 9) stereotypical behaviours, and 10) restrictive behaviours.

A total of 75 participants with ASD have participated in this study of three ASD´ intensity levels and different age intervals, from 3 years old.

Data analyses focused along study the factorial analysis determinant (KMO and Bartlett's test) statistic, as well as, bivariate correlations analysis for three dimensions calculated statistically: "processing", "social" and "behaviours", show significant critical inter-relational levels (sig: .00), which allows conclude to existence of highly relationships between both variables group and their practical applications for consequent, reliable and valid diagnosis process.

Finally, the statistical data of your application to perform the level diagnostic analysis is completed, through corresponding statistical percentage, means and standard deviations, to facilitate the ASD level 1-2-3 diagnostic way.

Abstract:

The initial sensory- attention perceptual processing in people with autism spectrum disorder forms a global analysis, but semantic content is limited, therefore, they need to complete their semantic understanding, through second analysis with purpose to encode a greater number of local details, units and/ or conceptual categories. This cognitive action developed through relational connections with concepts previously stored in permanent memory (semantic memory). Study has been designed a qualitative- quantitative triangulated way. The qualitative analysis is based on a textual- conceptual perceptual and visual-perceptual study, while the quantitative analysis has been achieved through non- parametric statistical comparative tests regarding to the grouped variable: “participants”. A total of 10 participants have collaborated in this study, 5 neurotypical participants and 5 participants with autism spectrum disorder, aged between 16-17 years old. The comparative analysis allows delimit partial differential aspects throughout study variables, according to participants´ group variable and, hence, the development of a new cognitive- perceptive theory of specific propositional processing to people with autism: Global Cyclic Theory has been concluded.

ABSTRACT:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a highly heterogeneous specific feature of neurodevelopment, whose general characteristics are defined by two basic dimensions: 1) deficits of communication and social interaction and 2) restrictive and stereotyped behaviours. Both dimensions are complemented by empirical evidence of the highly significant relationships of a predictive kind with the psychomotor functioning, which becomes most evident over development. Just, this research tries to answer to the following general goals: 1) examine the application of specific programs relating to development of basic psychomotor skills in students with several levels of ASD, age and sex, and 2) delimit the incidence of cognitive relationships between the concepts and learning categories. A total of 99 students have participated in this study, distributed according to ASD level, age and sex. Data have been analysed through the Univariate ANOVA Between-Subjects Effects Test. Results show that both the intersection of psychomotor and cognitive variables (critical sig: .00), as well variables separately (psychomotricity: .00, and relationship: .00), significantly affect to academic performance of students with ASD. Therefore, it can be concluded that relational cognitive components and psychomotor development are essential to facilitate the development of learning in people with ASD, whose R2 of explicative variance is significantly high: .913, being the adjusted R2 level: 86.3%. The influence of the fixed variables interactions: ASD level, age and sex have also been studied.

Summary: 

The knowledge, diagnosis and treatment of clinical anxiety in people considered within the autism spectrum is a challenge since most of the instruments are designed based on research variables for people outside the autism spectrum. A total of 91 parents of children between 6 and 18 years of age, diagnosed with ASD in Metropolitan Lima participated in this study. In this sense, the general objective of this study is the validation of the anxiety scale: ANXIETY SCALE FOR CHILDREN WITH ASD (ASC ASD-P) in relation to anxious behaviors in people with ASD. The results show a significant validity of the Scale content; however, there are discrepancies in the allocation of reagents to the corresponding dimensions. The Exploratory Factor Analysis and the Alpha Values of Anxiety present the following data: 1) Anxiety due to Uncertainty (McDonald’s: .86 and Cronbach's Alpha: .85); 2) Performance Anxiety (McDonald’s: .81 and Cronbach's Alpha: .81); 3) Anxious Arousal (0.86 McDonald’s: .86 and Cronbach's Alpha: .8). Separation anxiety is excluded from the analysis due to its low factor value. These data allow us to affirm that the scale to evaluate the presence of ASC-ASD clinical anxiety, parent version, has adequate psychometric properties for the predictive measurement of anxiety in people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

ABSTRACT

From the behavioural perspective, the specific diagnosis of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), was categorized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5th of the DSM-V-TR of American Psychiatric Association (2013) and also the International Classification of Diseases, 11th. from World Health Organization (2018). Both classifications have indicated it specific behavioural construct associated with its diagnosis, defined by a whole of socio- behavioural deficits; however, it is need to have added that cognitive-perceptive symptomatic groups are the direct cause and consequence of the behavioural particularity in people with ASD. For this reason, in this study has raised like general aim to analyse the effectiveness of the application of an integrated cognitive-behavioural systemic program to improve behaviours in people with ASD. The research study has been designed a quasi-experimental analysis of three groups with two pre-test and posttest measures. The groups are made up by: 1) an experimental group of 4 students with ASD (n= 4), which the integrated global systemic program was applied, 2) a control group-1, composed of 4 students with ASD, who have followed an A-B behavioural program (Stimulus-Response), and 3) a third control group-2, also made up of 4 students with ASD, who have followed several usual behaviours of modification programs (N= 12). Results found from means of non-parametric Kruskal Wallis Test (K-W), have showed the effectiveness of global integrated program implemented to experimental group, which has founded highly significant critical differential indices, regarding other two control 1-2 groups. Likewise, the bivariate correlations between behavioural dimension and cognitive-perceptive factors of processing are calculated and shown.

Abstract

Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) make up a diagnosis characterized by a multifunctional neurocognitive disorder, based on a limited structure to perform nodal-synaptic interrelationships between the contents of learning. Likewise, this disorder may be associated with a set of comorbid symptom groups, which, regarding their intensity, may border with ASD main diagnosis and lead to basic errors that affect subsequent social- educational treatment. This study analyses most recurrent associated comorbid groups, as well as, if the presence of symptomatic comorbid groups is differential regarding group shape: normotypical and ASD groups. A total of 390 children participated in this study, 128 belonged to normotypical group and 262 did it to experimental group, subdivided into three levels of ASD. Results found through multivariate- test indicate that the whole dimension significantly affects group way intersection, age and sex (sig: .00). The post-hoc test analysis indicates this influence was      differential regarding to the group type for the following dimensions: cognition, behaviour, psychoaffectivity, language and psychomotor disorder, while relative differences were not observed in specific- clinical dimension, where only epilepsy showed a differential result: no differences were found in general- clinic dimension.

Lay abstract

ASD´ diagnosis and treatment shows, to date, many weak points that need to be improved. Previous studies have shown how important is the psycho-educational component regarding ASD treatment, therefore it is necessary to understand the specific characteristics of the nuclear ASD diagnosis, in order to work out a specific therapy according to every single case. 

In the current study, we examined and analysed ASD patients as well as participants showing comorbid symptoms such as epilepsy, in order to show how these comorbidities can reach a very high level, leading to a confused and wrong ASD nuclear diagnosis. 

Therefore, it is essential to gain more insight into the specific diagnosis process, defining the ASD symptoms very precisely in order to develop more accurate and specific educational programs. 

This study contributes to the improvement in ASD diagnosis, providing a large number of participants in order to study the relation between several comorbid symptoms and its reliability as ASD indicative factors or not.

Abstract 

People with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are characterized by presenting a neurodevelopmental disorder of fundamentally genetic etiology with consequences in the global cognitive process, affecting the psychoneurological processing of interrelational information processing as a systemic whole. For this reason, the International Classification DSM-5 (American Psychiatric Association (APA), 2013), which includes only behavioral criteria, is very reduced in the face of a disorder that affects the global developmental system, both in the perceptual-cognitive area, as well as in the motor area and other clinical components related to health. In this study, the following general objectives are set out: 1) to analyze the most important predictor variables that make up the explanatory hypotheses for the diagnosis of autism, 2) to analyze whether these predictor variables differ according to the type of ASD group, age and sex of the participants in the sample, and 3) to elaborate the implications of the predictive analysis for the application of adapted programs. A total of 262 children belonging to the three ASD groups (ASD-1: 124, ASD-2: 83, and ASD-3: 84) participated in this study, which have been distributed according to five age intervals and two groups according to the sex of the participants. The results found using linear stepwise regression analysis indicate that there are four predictor variables that accumulate to explain the hypotheses explaining the disorder: 1) SocialCommunication, which represents an explanatory R for autism of .477 (47.7%), R2: .228 (22.8%), adjusted: .225 (22.5%), 2) in the second phase of the model, the Cognition variable is incorporated, whose interaction explains an R: .520, R2: .270, adjusted: .265, 3) the third step is configured sum of the Visual-Motor variable, which justifies an R: .53, R2: .284, adjusted: .275, and 4) the fourth and last step is collected the Rigidity-Motor variable, with a total explanatory sum of R: .54, R2: 29.7% (adjusted: 28.6%).

 Lay abstract

 People with ASD are characterized by presenting a neurodevelopmental disorder of basically genetic etiology with consequences in the global cognitive process, which affects the psycho-neurological processing of interrelational information processing, influencing the global set of the neurocognitive system, both in the perceptual-cognitive, motor, and/or clinical level. This global systemic position requires the application of programs based on the development of processing modes, which can generate holistic development and reduce the cognitive consequences derived from the exposure to stimuli perceived as negative by people with ASD, as they would increase the types and levels of associated comorbidities. For this reason, programs have to design learning contexts that provide for positive responses, elaborated according to previously acquired competencies, which will progressively increase the level of difficulty according to the skills of elaboration of relationships between previous learning and new acquisitions. The subsequent presentation of a wide range of variety of learning contexts will facilitate the processes of generalization of the learned contents to new situations.

DESARROLLO DEL APRENDIZAJE Y LA CONDUCTA EN PERSONAS CON AUTISMO

 MEJORAR EL EQUILIBRO SINÁPTICO EN PERSONAS CON AUTISMO

Manuel Ojea

La creación de nexos relacionales durante el aprendizaje constituye un elemento clave para favorecer el desarrollo de las personas con trastorno del espectro autista (TEA). En este sentido, el ácido glutámico como tal o en su forma ionizada, denominado L-glutamato (GLU) está involucrado en los aspectos funcionales de los procesos perceptivo- cognitivos y de la memoria; ya que se relaciona con la plasticidad sináptica de la transmisión de la información, especialmente, a través de su interacción con los receptores GABA. Pues bien, el desequilibrio derivado de un incremento del GLU y la reducción del meurotransmisor GABA durante el procesamiento de la información dificulta todavía más las conexiones sinápticas relacionales entre la información nueva percibida y su relación con los contenidos previos, lo cual hace que las personas con TEA vean todavía más limitadas sus capacidades para establecer relaciones significativas y comprensivas entre las conductas y los aprendizajes-objetivo. 

Por lo tanto, el incremento del neurotransmisor GLU se conforma como un aspecto esencial para mantener cierto equilibrio con el receptor GABA y, en consecuencia, mejorar el desarrollo global del ser humano. Para mejorar este equilibrio, además de los alimentos específicos que contienen monosodio, que pueden favorecer la producción del GLU, los programas psico- socioeducativos también pueden mejorar su equilibrio y la creación de redes o nodos neurales, a través del uso de programas sistémicos, en los cuales interviene el conjunto de los factores neurocerebrales que actúan durante el proceso de aprendizaje, lo cual, además, cuando, se acompaña del éxito en la tarea, genera el incremento de la motivación intrínseca, que potencia el desarrollo integral sistémico. 

En la Figura siguiente puede observarse gráficamente la cadena de participación del conjunto de los aspectos psicológicos del procesamiento de la información sobre un único contenido de aprendizaje, ya que, al hacerlo así, se favorece la elaboración de nodos sinápticos neuronales y, en conclusión, la mejora gradual del desarrollo conductual y del aprendizaje en las personas con TEA.

PREPARAR CONTEXTOS DE APRENDIZAJE PARA MEJORAR LA CONDUCTA EN PERSONAS CON AUTISMO

 ¿CÓMO CREAR UN CONTEXTO PREVIO DE APRENDIZAJE EN PERSONAS CON TRASTORNO DEL ESPECTRO AUTISTA PARA MEJORAR LA CONDUCTA?

Manuel Ojea

Necesidad observada: Fer, un alumno con TEA que, cuando participaba en un trabajo de grupo en clase de Historia de 3º de ESO, se sintió perdido sobre las cuestiones de contenido que debía realizar dentro del grupo, tanto en relación con la parte conceptual que le correspondía, como con la forma de actuar con sus compañeros y compañeras de grupo, comenzó a moverse con inquietud que iba creciendo en intensidad, a murmurar en voz baja hacia sí mismo, finalmente, se levantaba y sentaba constantemente, que no son comportamientos estereotipados, hasta que el docente le reprendió por ello y le apartó del grupo temporalmente. El docente actúa en función del modelo de refuerzo A-B; en este artículo, por el contrario, se propone un cambio de conducta mediante el aprendizaje en contextos previamente preparados:

Contexto₁: Sobre el mismo trabajo anterior de la materia conceptual de Historia, se forma un grupo de trabajo, cuyas partes están previamente y altamente estructuradas en relación con lo que debe hacer cada estudiante dentro del grupo. Fer conoce perfectamente su parte conceptual, la cual ha sido asignada intencionalmente con el fin de que su parte trabajada sea correcta. Además, Fer tiene a su lado una compañera (alumna tutora), la cual le ayuda inmediatamente en caso que se pierda sobre la relación sobre el contexto a nivel de colaboración formal o estructural con su grupo. Cada estudiante realiza su parte en colaboración con el resto del grupo y el trabajo finaliza con éxito.

Contexto₂: El mismo proceso se repite en un nuevo contexto, referido a otra categoría conceptual de la misma asignatura o en relación a otra materia. Nuevamente todo está controlado para que el éxito de la tarea se convierta en un éxito para Fer. 

El proceso debe repetirse cuantas veces sea necesario, cuanto mayor sea la variedad de contextos, mejor se facilita su generalización.

El Refuerzo obtenido por el propio éxito percibido y vivido en la acción de ambos contextos_1,2 se convierte en el elemento reforzante intrínseco que fortalece la motivación activa sobre el aprendizaje y, en consecuencia, facilita la mejora de la conducta durante el transcurso del tiempo del trabajo en grupo, medida en función de los parámetros de las necesidades iniciales.

Ahora, ya es posible, volver al ensayo real en el contexto original:

Contexto inicial: se repite el proceso de trabajo en el grupo de estudiantes en la misma clase de Historia nuevamente y podrán observarse los cambios de actitud comportamental del alumno. No hace falta reforzar externamente la acción, el refuerzo vivencial y percibido del éxito es el elemento más eficaz de reforzamiento por genera el nexo entre la tarea y sus relaciones en el contexto de participación.

ALTERACIONES SEVERAS DE CONDUCTA EN EL TRASTORNO DEL ESPECTRO AUTISTA (TEA)

TEA: MODIFICACIÓN DE CONDUCTA ÚNICA A-B, UNA INTERVENCIÓN EQUIVOCADA

Manuel Ojea

En relación a las personas con TEA, deben diferenciarse claramente los comportamientos estereotipados y restringidos, los cuales pueden formar parte intrínseca de los criterios del diagnóstico del TEA (APA, 2013), de las alteraciones de conducta, en cuanto constituyen reacciones negativas o alteraciones comportamentales severas ante las exigencias del medio contextual.

En los supuestos de alteraciones conductuales ante el contexto, las intervenciones basadas en los procesos usuales de modificación de conducta A-B, en cualquiera de sus modalidades, no son eficaces, debido a que la relación acción- reacción, sencillamente, no es comprendida y cualquier ligero cambio posterior puede provocar la misma reacción negativa objetivo de la modificación anterior.

Esto es debido a que la causa fundamental de estas alteraciones en las personas con TEA se sitúa en la estrecha asociación existente entre el neurotransmisor L-glutamato con su opuesto, el neurotransmisor GABA, en cuya relación, el L- glutamato puede equilibrar o desequilibrar los efectos del GABA, cuyo desequilibrio afecta de manera importante a la interrelación entre las redes neuronales, que son las que facilitan las conexiones sinápticas entre la información y, por tanto, la significatividad y la coprensividad aportada a las situaciones.

Por este motivo, las intervenciones conductuales han de fundamentarse en la búsqueda de estos equilibrios funcionales, basados en aprendizajes relacionales comprensivos contextos- respuestas- consecuentes, que ayuden a mejorar dichas conductas.

Abstract: 

     Diagnostic processes of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) just based over the observation of target- behaviors, regarding to interaction and social communication (social) and restrictive behavior (behavior), seem be most effective for level 2-3 ASD specific diagnosis; however, level 1 ASD diagnosis may be many errors, since the scores sum are within limits corresponding the other specific personality or social communication disorders (American Psychiatric Association (APA), 2013). For this reason, it´s needs complement the analysis of variables that make up the perceptual- cognitive dimension of information processing to specify the diagnosis validity and avoid initial errors that can create important prejudices along educational processes. This study delimits the differential analysis of 3 dimensions on total of 38 participants with level 1 ASD. Indeed, results indicate that, although the constant of diagnostic predictive analysis found through the linear regression analysis shows significant data for diagnosis synthesis, it´s owing to critical influence of cognitive processing dimension: .00, while other 2 dimensions analyzed individually show non-significant influence, being critical significant level for social dimension: .12 and behavior dimension: .35. Therefore, it´s need design diagnostic scales that include the basic principles of perceptual-cognitive processing functioning to avoid errors in autism diagnosis.
