Aperçu: G.M.
Deux
expériences ont été menées:
(a) une tâche d'achèvement de la phrase en
ligne contenant des ambiguïtés locales sujet / objet et
(b) une tâche de
prosodie affective explorant la compréhension de six émotions.
Les personnes avec un diagnostic de TSA sans déficit cognitif font face à de
légères difficultés avec le décodage de la prosodie, à la fois
syntaxique et affective. Plus précisément, ces difficultés sont attestées dans les conditions
les plus difficiles, c'est-à-dire la lecture du sujet et l'émotion de la
surprise.

Abstract
The present study investigates the comprehension of syntactic and affective prosody in adults with autism spectrum disorder
without accompanying cognitive deficits (ASD w/o cognitive deficits) as
well as age-, education- and gender-matched unimpaired adults, while
processing orally presented sentences. Two experiments were conducted:
(a) an on-line sentence completion task containing local subject/object
ambiguities and (b) an affective prosody task exploring the
comprehension of six emotions. The syntactic prosody task revealed that
the experimental group performed similar to the control group on the
fillers and the object condition. On the other hand, the ASD w/o
cognitive deficits group manifested lower accuracy compared to the
unimpaired controls in the subject reading condition, as well as slower
reaction times in all conditions. In the affective prosody task, the
experimental group performed significantly worse than the controls in
the recognition of the emotion of surprise, whereas no differences
between the experimental and the control group were attested in the
recognition of all other emotions. A positive correlation was found
between the two tasks in the ASD w/o cognitive deficits group. Thus,
individuals with ASD w/o cognitive deficits face slight difficulties
with the decoding of prosody, both the syntactic and the affective one.
More specifically, these difficulties are attested in the most difficult
conditions, i.e. the subject reading and the emotion of surprise.
