Aaronson, Benjamin; Estes, Annette; Rogers, Sally J.; Dawson, Geraldine; Bernier, Raphael – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
We examined the relationship between the Early start Denver model (ESDM) intervention and mu rhythm attenuation, an EEG paradigm reflecting neural processes associated with action perception and social information processing. Children were assigned to either receive comprehensive ESDM intervention for two years, or were encouraged to pursue…

Pokorny, Jennifer J.; Hatt, Naomi V.; Rogers, Sally J.; Rivera, Susan M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Understanding another's actions, including what they are doing and why they are doing it, can be difficult for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This understanding is supported by the action observation (AON) and mentalizing (MZN) networks, as well as the superior temporal sulcus. We examined these areas in children with ASD and…

Solomon, Marjorie; Buaminger, Nirit; Rogers, Sally J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2011
To investigate the relationship between cognitive and social functioning, 20 Israeli individuals with HFASD aged 8-12 and 22 age, maternal education, and receptive vocabulary-matched preadolescents with typical development (TYP) came to the lab with a close friend. Measures of abstract reasoning, friendship quality, and dyadic interaction during a…

Yerys, Benjamin E.; Hepburn, Susan L.; Pennington, Bruce F.; Rogers, Sally J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2007
Recent research on executive function (EF) deficits in autism has led investigators to conclude that EF deficits are secondary to the disorder. The current study has two major goals: (1) Examine whether specific EF deficits are present in the youngest autism group to date (mean = 22.9 years), and (2) examine whether such deficits are secondary to…

Rutherford, M. D.; Rogers, Sally J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2003
A study examined the cognitive underpinnings of spontaneous and prompted pretend play in 28 children with autism (ages 2-3), 24 children with developmental disorders, and 26 controls (ages 1-3). Children with autism were significantly delayed on pretend play scores. They also had significant deficits in a theory of mind measure. (Contains…

Carpenter, Malinda; Pennington, Bruce F.; Rogers, Sally J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2001
This study examined the understanding of others' intentions in 21/2- to 5-year-old children with autism and a control group of children with other developmental delays. No significant between-group differences were found, although within-group patterns suggested that children with autism may have a slightly less complex understanding of others'…
