How Walk Onset Influences Language Development in Children with Elevated Likelihood of ASD? A Pilot Study The objective of the study is to determine whether the nature of infant-caregiver interactions predict language development in infants with elevated likelihood of developing ASD following walk onset. The findings from this proposed pilot study have several significant impacts. First, they will provide answers to long-standing questions about the underlying mechanism(s) by which walk onset drives language development in infants with and without an ASD diagnosis. Such answers will in turn provide important theoretical advances in our understanding of motor transitions and language development and reveal new insights into how parents, clinicians, and teachers can optimize the functional outcomes associated with infant-caregiver interactions not only for infants who have elevated likelihood of developing ASD, but also for infants with typical development. Second, given the importance of language development to infants’ long-term development (e.g., increases school readiness, improves cognitive development, enhances emotion regulation), identifying the mediating role of infant-caregiver interactions between walk onset and language development provides exciting opportunities to make a major contribution to language and developmental science. It also opens endless possibilities for future studies into efficacious ways to facilitate motor and language development (e.g., manipulations of language and gesture inputs). Third, the absence of a spurt in receptive and productive language following walk onset may serve as an early marker of ASD or language delay. Fourth, the findings obtained by this proposed study may inform future similar studies by switching the focus to populations with other neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and intellectual disability (ID). Project Start Year: 2024, Principal Investigator(s): TSE, Choi Yeung, Andy
Investigating the Relationship Between Walk Onset and Language Development in Infants While the language development is shown highly associated with motor development, limited studies have been conducted to investigate the mechanism that underlies the relationship. It is critically important to understand the mechanism(s) that underlies how language is developed in early childhood so as to ultimately develop effective interventions for motor and language delays in any clinical population. Previously, it is shown that social interactions mediate the relationship between walk onset and language development. It is speculated that walk onset induces more social interactions, which in turns enhance language development. However, without a formal investigation, we cannot conclude if this explanation holds. Therefore, the proposed study aims to fill this important research gap by investigating the bidirectional influences of infant - caregiver interactions on language development in infants. In this proposed study, we will recruit 15 infants. An observational study design will be employed to examine changes in: 1) infants’ locomotion status, 2) infants’ and caregivers’ communicative behaviors, 3) intonations of caregiver’s vocalizations and 4) receptive and expressive language of infants across the developmental transitions to walking.

Why Does Learning to Ride a Bike Improve Executive Functions in Children with ASD? In this proposed study, we plan a deeper investigation into the components of an exercise intervention that are critical for bringing about positive changes in EF in children with ASD. For example, either (A) spatial updating during translation of the body through space or (B) dynamic balance demands associated with learning to ride a bicycle could plausibly drive positive changes in EF. In this study, we will conduct a RCT of 100 child participants with ASD that compares the executive functions of 1) a learning to bicycle group (recruiting mechanism A & B), 2) a learning to cycle on a bicycle treadmill (rollers) group (recruiting mechanism B), cycling with training wheels (recruiting mechanism A) and a stationary cycling group (recruiting neither mechanism). Three dependent variables will be assessed before (T1), mid- (T2) and after (T3) the 10-week intervention. The dependent variables include: 1) executive functions, reflected by four components (i.e., planning, flexibility, working memory and inhibition), 2) physical activity level and 3) urinary BDNF level. The findings of this proposed study can provide critical insight into the underlying mechanism by which physical exercise improves cognition in children with ASD, ultimately enhancing the design of effective interventions to improve cognition, motor performance, fitness, and functional independence in children with ASD.

Why Does Learning to Ride A Bike Improve Executive Functions In Children with ASD? A Pilot Study Executive functions (EF) are a set of high-level cognitive processes that allow us to plan, remember instructions, control attention and think flexibly. Emerging insight reveals that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) not only impairs social interaction, communication skills, emotion and behavioral regulation, but also affects cognitive functions such as executive dysfunction. Although clinicians and researchers do not consider executive dysfunction a core feature of ASD, they are well aware of this cognitive deficit in ASD. The negative impact of executive dysfunction in childhood can be severe, as it may impair attentional deployment and focusing, organizing and planning, starting and completing tasks, and shifting focus from one task to another. Therefore, it is important to develop an effective intervention strategy that targets executive dysfunction in the population. One intervention strategy that has received a growing amount of attention is physical exercise. Recently, we initiated an RCT study to understand how exercise influences cognition by comparing the cognitive impact of two cycling interventions (bicycle learning vs stationary cycling) in children with ASD. Results revealed that EF improved in only the bicycle-learning group but not the stationary cycling group or the control group. This finding is intriguing because it suggests processes associated with skill acquisition rather than the physiological changes induced by exercise are responsible for the beneficial effects of an exercise intervention on cognition in this population. In this proposed study, we plan a deeper investigation into the components of an exercise intervention that are critical for bringing about positive changes in EF in children with ASD. For example, either (A) spatial updating during translation of the body through space or (B) dynamic balance demands associated with learning to ride a bicycle could plausibly drive positive changes in EF.

Developing a Mobile App for Analysing Gaze Pattern in Children with Autism. Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) exhibits atypical gaze patterns comparing with their counterparts with typical development (TD). Therefore, eye gaze analysis is a promising tool in autism screening. Current eye tracking methods are often time-consuming with calibrations and are expensive with special equipment and professional personnel. There is a need for a less costly, less time-consuming and easy-to- implement methods for analyzing eye gaze. The objective of this proposed study is to develop and evaluate whether a mobile app that displays two specially designed video clips can identify the differences in gaze patterns between children with ASD and children with TD. Children age 18-24 months will be recruited from special and normal pre-nursery schools or parents’ referrals. They will be screened by a pediatrician (one of the Co-Is) based on Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule – Toddler Module (ADOS-T) for autism diagnosis. Participants will be viewing a mobile app that will display two strategically designed video clips through a tablet. The differences in gaze patterns will then be analyzed and quantified between children with ASD and children with TD. Meanwhile, a pilot study will be conducted in TD adults (n = 30) to test the feasibility of the mobile app prior to the main study in children populations. The findings of this proposed study will serve as a foundation for developing a potential autism screening tool using mobile app and the data sets generated by this study will be used for machine learning in the future.

Examining Whether Visual Proprioception Mediates the Relation between Crawling Experience and Wariness of Heights This PROJECT deals with a classic issue in behavioral science: the role of motor activity in psychological development. Self-controlled activity has been deemed important for psychological development by nearly every theoretical tradition in developmental psychology. Some of the best evidence of its importance comes from research on the psychological revolution that occurs shortly after infants start to crawl. Our research team has documented dramatic changes in a wide range of perceptual, perceptual-motor, spatial-cognitive, and social-emotional skills following the onset of crawling. In the current proposal we attempt to explain how wariness of heights comes about. Wariness of heights was the first phenomenon shown to be linked to crawling experience, yet the process by which wariness of heights emerges has defied explanation. Here we examine a novel explanation that involves “visual proprioception” – the perception of self movement induced by optic flow, especially in the periphery of the visual field. Visual proprioception is crucial for the maintenance of postural control, and in many ways is as central a phenomenon in perception as is form, depth, motion, and emotion. We plan to examine whether wariness of heights emerges via a two-step biological process in which crawling experience induces changes in visual proprioception in the baby and changes in visual proprioception induce the emergence of wariness of heights. Our research has important implications for our understanding of the developmental process and for ways to optimize child development, particularly for children with disabilities that delay or impede the acquisition of independent mobility (e.g. cerebral palsy; congenital physical disability).

Improving Cognitive Function in Children with Autism via Physical Activity Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder evident from early childhood. Children with ASD are characterized by impaired social interaction and communication skills, along with the presence of restricted and repetitive behavior and interest. Apart from these core features, cognitive deficits are also commonly found in the population and have been conceptualized as an associated neuropsychological feature. Literature has shown that executive dysfunction in children with ASD is closely associated with their language development, motor skill acquisition, and restricted and repetitive behavior patterns. Therefore, it is important to develop an effective intervention strategy that targets cognitive impairment in the population. One intervention strategy that has received a growing amount of attention is physical activity. In typically developing (TD) children, numerous studies have confirmed the cognitive benefits of physical activity on executive function (e.g., improved attention, enhanced working memory). It is therefore natural to extend the study to examine whether physical activity could also benefit cognition in children with ASD. Despite the positive findings of previous studies involving physical activity and children with ASD, many of them contain inherent methodological flaws (e.g., small sample size, lack of transfer task) and therefore questions about their efficacy are raised. We aim to investigate the effectiveness of physical activity for improving cognition in children with ASD. We also aim to investigate the underlying mechanisms behind the exercise-cognition relationship. Some researchers maintain that exercise is likely to trigger neurotrophic/biochemical effects whereas others maintain that motor control/learning is likely to trigger psychological effects. The combination of the two is likely to be particularly efficacious. In the proposed study, we will investigate how physical activity impacts executive functions in children with ASD using a theoretical model of self-regulation. Self-regulation, an ability to monitor and control one’s own behaviors and alter them according to environmental demands, is thought to promote cognition through physical activity that requires mental effort and attention. In this study, we will conduct a randomized controlled trial of 90 child participants with ASD that compares the executive functions of a learning to bicycle group, a stationary cycling group and a Hawthorne-effect control group receiving standard care.

Physical Exercise or Supplemental Melatonin to Treat Sleep Disturbance in Children with ASD: A Pilot Study to Test Which is Better Adequate sleep is critical for cognitive and physical developments in children. Unfortunately, sleep disturbance, particularly insomnia, is commonly found in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Literature has reported that 50-80% of children with ASD suffered from varying degree of sleep disturbances, and that disturbed sleep could exacerbate core and related symptoms of autism such as repetitive behaviors, social interactions and affective problems. These problems in turn aggravate psychological and physical stress of their parents, which cause child and family distress. Therefore, it is important to develop effective intervention strategies that target sleep disturbance in the population. One intervention strategy that has received a growing amount of attention is physical exercise. Recently, we have conducted a RCT investigating how physical exercise (morning jogging program at moderate intensity level) impacts on sleep in children with ASD through melatonin-mediated mechanism. Our preliminary results showed that participants in the physical exercise intervention group had significant higher endogenous melatonin levels than those in the control group as indicated by the 6-sulfatoxymelatonin level measured from their 24-h urine samples. In addition, the intervention has significantly improved sleep efficiency and sleep latency as measured by actigraphy and overall sleep quality as measured by parent-completed survey forms. Despite these encouraging preliminary findings, we did not directly compare the efficacy between physical exercise and melatonin supplements on treating sleep insomnia. Previous research supported melatonin supplements as an effective treatment for sleep disturbance in children with ASD. Therefore, it is logical to ask which intervention is more effective, and whether combination of the two could be the most efficacious. However, without direct comparison between the interventions, these questions remain unanswered. In this proposed study, we will conduct a pilot study of 24 children with ASD that compares sleep pattern of a morning jogging group, a supplemental melatonin group and control group. Sleep pattern reflected by two sleep parameters (sleep efficiency and total sleep duration) will be assessed by objective actigraphic assessment and parental reported sleep log. All the assessments will be carried out before the intervention (T1) and after the 12-week intervention (T2). The findings of this proposed study can provide us a preliminary finding of which intervention is better for treating sleep disturbance in children with ASD, which will strengthen our ongoing GRF proposal, which provide us more information on the role of melatonin in sleep quality in children with ASD.

Effect of Physical Activity on Emotional Well-Being in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder In the present study, we will examine whether physical activity could also benefit emotional well-being and facilitate emotion regulation in children with ASD. In this proposed study, we aim to investigate the effectiveness of physical activity for improving emotion well-being in children with ASD. We also aim to investigate the underlying mechanisms behind the emotional problems in children with ASD by measuring the emotion regulation index.

Differential Impact of Physical Exercise on Different Stereotypies in Children with ASD Stereotypy, defined as repetitive and maladaptive behavior, is one of several iconic features that characterize autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Considerable evidence has shown that physical exercise could be an effective treatment in reducing stereotypical ASD behaviors in children. However, the underlying mechanism that leads to physical exercise positively influencing stereotypy remains unclear. The present study seeks to examine this underlying mechanism by considering the theoretical operant nature of stereotypy. In this study, children who exhibited hand-flapping and body-rocking stereotypies will be asked to participate in both control (story-time) and experimental (ball-tapping-exercise intervention) conditions. These findings not only can confirm the positive impact of exercise intervention on stereotyped behavior as shown in many previous studies, but would further suggest that whether physical exercise should be matched with the topography of stereotypy to produce a desirable behavioral benefit.

Effects of attentional focus on motor learning in children with autism spectrum disorder Inability to acquire a new motor skill is a common motor dysfunction in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purpose of the present study is to examine whether the motor learning benefits of an external focus of attention for typically developing children and children with intellectual disabilities could also be applied to children with ASD. Children diagnosed with high-functioning ASD will be randomly assigned into one of three groups: external focus, internal focus and control. They will be required to throw beanbags at a static target for 50 acquisition trials, 10 retention trials, and 10 transfer trials. The findings will provide evidence that which focus of attention strategy would facilitate motor learning in children with ASD.

Examining Conscious Movement Control Propensity and Attentional Focus Instructions on Motor Learning by Children Considerable research revealed the motor learning benefits of using external attentional focus instruction in adult population. However, studies including children produced mixed findings. The purpose of this study was to examine whether attentional focus instruction was associated with reinvestment propensity, which would then serve as an alternative explanation for the inconclusive findings in children. Sixty children were recruited and classified into high and low reinvestors based on reinvestment propensity. They were randomly assigned to internal or external focus instruction groups or control groups (i.e.no attentional focus instruction given). Participants were to learn dart-throw motor skill. The study was comprised of three sessions: acquisition, transfer and retention. Project Start Year: 2016, Principal Investigator(s): TSE, Choi Yeung Andy 謝采揚

Assessing Free-play Participation of School-aged Children Its Relationship with their Well-being Free-play is considered essential to children’s development because it enriches children’s physical, social and emotional well-being. It also provides an opportunity for parents to build affective relationship with their children. In recent years, opportunities for free-play have been dwindling markedly for children in many places. In Hong Kong, heavy academic workload and overscheduled lifestyle may be the major reasons for reducing free-time time for children. However, there is a lack of reliable measure to examine the free-play pattern of children in Hong Kong and how the free-play pattern affect children’s happiness, physical activity level and parental relationship. The present study has validated the questionnaire examining the free-play pattern for children and classifying children into free-play and non-free-play group. This study then further compared the physical activity level, parental relationship and happiness of children between these two groups.

Examining the Use of Analogy Instruction in Motor learning by Older Adults Previous studies showed that analogy promotes stable motor performance under cognitive demanding situations such as stress and fatigue. However, none of the studies have been conducted in older adults. The purpose of the present study was to examine the feasibility of using analogy in motor learning by older adults and to investigate whether the motor learning benefits induced by analogy could also be generalized to older adults. A group of young and older table tennis novices learnt to impart table tennis forehand topspin via either an analogy or a set of explicit instructions. Afterward, they were also asked to perform the motor task in three testing situations: Dual-task, immediate retention and skill consolidation. Motor performance was assessed with a validated scoring system. Project Start Year: 2015, Principal Investigator(s): TSE, Choi Yeung Andy 謝采揚
