Emotion Comprehension in Intramodal and Cross-modal Matching: A Preliminary Comparison between Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders and Those With Williams Syndrome
Published in Special Education Research, 2015
Summary
This study compared emotion comprehension in intramodal and cross-modal matching between children with autism spectrum disorders and children with Williams syndrome. The study focused on matching tasks involving facial expressions and affective prosody.
The study contributes to the Measuring and Autism Support lines by arranging emotion comprehension as observable matching responses across visual and auditory social stimuli. It also provides an early basis for later work on facial expressions, affective prosody, and technology-enhanced assessment or training.
Research line
- Measuring: assessment of emotion comprehension through matching tasks
- Autism Support: comparison of social-emotional responding in children with developmental disabilities
- Facial Expressions and Affective Prosody: intramodal and cross-modal social stimulus relations
