Función ejecutiva y estereotipias motoras: un estudio comparativo

Carmen Nieto; Juan-Antonio Huertas; Aranzazu Ardura; Daniel Valdez

Resumen Analizamos desde una perspectiva crítica los estudios realizados sobre función ejecutiva, especialmente dentro del campo del autismo. Desde hace una década han proliferado estudios que tratan de elaborar perfiles de funcionamiento, aislando distintos componentes de función ejecutiva. En ellos se evidencia una alta heterogeneidad de resultados y se proponen algunos posibles fallos metodológicos como responsables de la misma. Por otro lado, es frecuente que en la literatura se aluda a la presencia de disfunción ejecutiva en el autismo como responsable de alguna de las conductas observadas en esta población, en concreto, se da por hecha la relación entre estereotipias y fallos ejecutivos. Sin embargo, apenas se han realizado trabajos de investigación que establezcan esta relación. Nosotros presentamos dos estudios. En el primero se analiza la presencia de fallos de inhibición y generatividad en autismo, tratando de cubrir en el diseño algunos de los errores característicos detectados en la literatura. Los resultados no encuentran fallos en inhibición ni especificidad de fallos en generatividad en autismo. En el segundo, abordamos el estudio de la posible relación entre estereotipias y fallos ejecutivos. Nuestros resultados no apoyan la existencia de esta relación.

Personal factors underlying resilience: development and validation of the Resiliency Questionnaire for Adults

Abstract Resilience outcomes following significant adverse events are related to certain personal attributes, termed resiliency factors. This study aimed to adapt the Prince-Embury resiliency model, developed with children and adolescents, to adult populations. To that end, the Resiliency Questionnaire for Adults (RQA) was developed, consisting of nine characteristics organised around three factors: Sense of Mastery, Sense of Relatedness and Emotional Reactivity. The questionnaire adequacy was tested in adults from both general and health-distressed populations (N = 430) through reliability, confirmatory factor, cross-validation and multiple-group analyses. Criterion validity was assessed via path analysis with latent variables to predict resilience outcomes. The RQA scores were reliable and the three-factor model fitted the data well. The three resiliency factors predicted two-thirds of the variance in resilience. This questionnaire constitutes a reliable and valid assessment of personal factors underlying resilience.

Relationships between atypical sensory processing patterns, maladaptive behavior and maternal stress in Spanish children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Carmen Nieto; Beatriz López; Helena Gandia

BACKGROUND This study investigated sensory processing in a sample of Spanish children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Specifically, the study aimed to explore (1) the prevalence and distribution of atypical sensory processing patterns, (2) the relationship between adaptive and maladaptive behaviour with atypical sensory processing and (3) the possible relationship between sensory subtype and maternal stress. METHODS The short sensory profile 2 (Dunn 2014) and the vineland adaptive behavior scale (Sparrow et al. 1984) were administered to examine the sensory processing difficulties and maladaptive behaviours of 45 children with ASD aged 3 to 14; their mothers also completed the parenting stress index-short form (Abidin 1995). RESULTS Atypical sensory features were found in 86.7% of the children; avoider and sensor being the two most common patterns. No significant relationship was found between atypical sensory processing and adaptive behaviour. However, the analysis showed a strong relationship between sensory processing and maladaptive behaviour. Both maladaptive behaviour and sensory processing difficulties correlated significantly with maternal stress although maternal stress was predicted only by the sensory variable, and in particular by the avoider pattern. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that sensory features in ASD may be driving the high prevalence of parental stress in carers. They also suggest that the effect on parental stress that has been attributed traditionally to maladaptive behaviours may be driven by sensory difficulties. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to the development of interventions and the need to explore contextual and cultural variables as possible sources of variability.

Estereotipias motoras, ¿un modo de acomodarse a la actividad?: un estudio comparativo entre niños con distintas alteraciones del desarrollo

Carmen Nieto; Juan Antonio Huertas; Aranzazu Ardura; Daniel Valdez

Resumen Este trabajo está dirigido al estudio de las estereotipias motoras en varios grupos de niños con y sin dificultades en el desarrollo. El trabajo se concreta en dos estudios: en el primero analizamos si cambios en la situación estimular producen efectos en la presencia de estereotipias en los diferentes grupos y, en el segundo, estudiamos cómo se insertan las estereotipias en la situación de interacción, si interfieren o si, por el contrario, se ajustan a la actividad que están llevando acabo los niños. Nuestros resultados parecen apuntar que, en todos los grupos estudiados, las estereotipias se ven influidas de forma similar cuando se producen cambios en la situación estimular y, además, parece que, también en todos los grupos, las estereotipias pueden convivir con una interacción correcta y ajustada
