Motivational processes and autonomic responsivity in Asperger's disorder: Evidence from the Iowa Gambling Task

Abstract

Asperger's disorder (ASP), like other autism spectrum disorders, is associated with altered responsiveness to social stimuli. This study investigated learning and responsiveness to nonsocial, but motivational, stimuli in ASP. We examined choice behavior and galvanic skin conductance responses (SCRs) during the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT; Bechara et al., 1994) in 15 adolescents and young adults with ASP and 14 comparison subjects. We examined aspects of learning, attention to wins and losses, and response style with a formal cognitive model, the Expectancy–Valence Learning model (Busemeyer & Stout, 2002). The ASP group did not differ from the comparison group in proportions of selections from advantageous decks. However, ASP participants showed a distinct pattern of selection characterized by frequent shifts between the four IGT decks, whereas comparison participants developed clear deck preferences. SCR results showed some evidence of reduced responsiveness in the ASP group during the IGT. Results from the cognitive model indicated that, in contrast to the comparison group, the ASP group's selections were less consistent with the motivational significance they assigned to decks. Findings are discussed in the context of the neurobiological substrates associated with IGT performance (JINS, 2006, 12, 668–676.)

  • Learning and decision-making impairments have been observed in ASD, Major Depression, schizophrenia, EDs, OCD, PTSD, and anxiety.

    “Learning and decision-making impairments have been observed, for example, in ASD (Friston et al., 2013; Johnson et al., 2006; Luke et al., 2011; Pellicano and Burr, 2012), Major Depression (Porter et al., 2003), schizophrenia (Waltz et al., 2007), EDs (Brogan et al., 2010), OCD (Joel et al., 2005), PTSD (Jovanovic et al., 2012), and anxiety (Castaneda et al., 2008).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
