2 Gesture Across the Spectrum Presentation Overview Gesture and Autism Definition and History of Dyspraxia Overview of the Cognitive Model of Apraxia and Limb Apraxia Battery Results and Patterns of Praxis Processing Conclusions
3 Learning Outcomes At the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to: Identify challenges in comparing gestural studies to one another. Understand that developmental dyspraxia is not a unitary disorder. Identify patterns of praxis processing based on a cognitive model of limb apraxia. Autism and Communication Her expression was blank, though not unintelligent, and there was no communicative gestures Kanner, L. (1943). Autistic disturbances in affective contact. Nervous Child, 2,
4 DSM-IV Diagnostic Criteria Triad of Impairments Social Interaction Language and Communication Restrictive, repetitive and stereotypical patterns of behavior DSM-IV Criteria for Social Interaction and Communication Marked impairment in the use of multiple nonverbal behaviours such as eye-to to-eye gaze, facial expression, body postures, and gestures to regulate social interaction and Delay in, or total lack of, the development of spoken language (not accompanied by an attempt to compensate through alternative modes of communication such as gestures or mime)
5 Gestural Deficits in Autism Imitation deficits well- documented Noted deficits in communicative gestures Deficits in meaningless gestures Reversal Errors Mixed Findings for meaningful gestures, some results difficult to interpret Explanations Behind Imitation Deficits Motor Theory Identification Theory (Hobson) Self-Other Mapping Theory (Rogers &Pennington, 1991) Mirror Neuron Hypothesis- Williams, 2001 Apraxia often confused with motor theory, not well understood in autism. Research Johns Hopkins and Kennedy Krieger
6 Motor Theory Decreased Strength Deficits in motor planning Motor Coordination Deficits Noted Decreased or increased muscle tone ASD vs. DCD Imitation Deficits, (Green, 2002) Hobson s s Task, Pipe Rack and Stick Hobson, R.P. and Lee, J. (1999) Imitation and Identification in Autism. Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 40 pp
7 Imitation of Hobson s s Task Definition of Limb Apraxia A A deficit of purposeful movement (including imitation tasks) which cannot be explained by elementary motor or sensory defect, task incomprehension problems, or inattention to command. De Renzi and Faglioni, (1999) A deficit in gestural processing
8 Ominous Apraxia Path Praxis in children with autism is strongly correlated with the social, communicative, and behavioral impairments that define the disorder suggesting that dyspraxia may be a core feature of autism Motor signs can also serve as markers for deficits in parallel brain systems which are important for control of social and communication skills Dzuik et al., 2007 p. 734
9 History of Apraxia Liepmann s Legacy Ideational Apraxia: A disorder affecting the idea of the Gesture (Not Knowing What to Do) Ideomotor Apraxia: A disorder affecting the production of the gesture (Knowing What to Do but not How to Produce) Pictures from Cubelli, R., Marchetti, C., Boscolo, G. & Della Sala, S. (2000)., Cognition in Action, 2000 Geschwind s Disconnection Model of Apraxia Heschl s gyrus Primary Motor Cortex for Right Hand Wernicke s Area Corpus Callosum Ipsilateral Motor Association Cortex Right Premotor Area for control of Left hand Geschwind followed Liepmann's interpretations and advanced a neuronal system for limb praxis similar to that proposed by Wernicke for language processing. Geschwind, N. (1965). Disconnexion Syndromes in Animals and Man, Brain, 88,
10 The Need for a New Model Previous research included unidimensional assessments of the praxis system. Could not account for differences in performance between meaningful and meaningless gestures. Could not account for deficits in discrimination or comprehension of gestures. Previous Models could not account for the mounting evidence regarding dissociations within the praxis system what if imitation is spared? Rothi, Ochipa, & Heilman, 1991 Heilman and Rothi proposed that movement formulae' or `visuokinaesthetic motor engrams' ' were stored in the left inferior parietal lobule (IPL), and that they were translated into an innervatory pattern in the SMA and then discharged to the motor cortex rather than in the convexity of the Primary motor cortex, as Geschwind had previously proposed. Rothi, L., Ochipa, C. & Heilman, K. (1991) A Cognitive Neuropsychological Model of Limb Praxis, Cognitive Neuropsychology, 8 (6),
11 Cubelli et al? Confusion exists between cognitive and anatomic functions Rothi states that motor schemes perform skilled movements which are stored in the SMA The structure and function of the SMA is far from understood Challenges Identifying Anatomical Loci Apraxia resulting from pure basal ganglia lesions rare (Heilman, 2001) Dominant parietal lobe The failure to identify one specific area resulting in praxis suggests that praxis is mediated by a distributed modular network (Hanna-Pladdy, Heilman, & Foundas, 2001) Thalamus implicated connections to prefrontal area and inferior parietal lobe PET study: left inferior temporal gyrus, left parahippocampal gyrus, and the left angular gyrus (Rumiati, 2005) PET study: Angular and middle frontal gyri in the left hemisphere and in the supramarginal gyrus and inferior parietal lobe in the right hemisphere (Peigneux, 2004)

Important to test meaningless and meaningful gestures as well as different types of gestures (transitive, IG) Hamilton, Brindley, & Frith (2007) Imitation and action understanding in autistic spectrum disorders: How valid is the Mirror Neuron Hypothesis?
15 Types of Gestures Meaningful Gestures Meaningless Gestures Transitive Gestures Intransitive Gestures Pantomimes Hand Positions Finger Postures Actions with Objects Iconic Symbolic Expressive Actions without Objects Transitive Gestures = Object Use
16 Intransitive Gestures The use of an object is constrained by its function, the intransitive gestures vary according to different sociocultural contexts (the same meaning may be expressed by different gestures, the same gesture may convey different meanings) Cubelli et al Paul Ekman Lie to Me A symbolic gesture has a precise meaning or set of meanings known to all members of a culture or sub-culture.

26 Intransitive Gestures Goldenberg and Meaningless Gestures LBD patients demonstrated deficits in hand postures and RBD patients demonstrated imitation deficits in finger position. Hypothesis is that hand positions require knowledge about the human body and finger postures require greater visuoperceptual skills. Goldenberg, G. (1999). Matching and Imitation of Hand and Finger Postures in Patients with Damage in the Right or Left Hemispheres. Neuropsychologia,
27 Meaningless Gestures Goldenberg, G. (1999). Matching and imitation of hand and finger postures with damage in the left or right hemisphere. Neuropsychologia, 37, pp Imitation of Hand Positions
28 Imitation of Finger Positions Apraxia in Autism Study
29 Questions Driving Current Research Do individuals with autism fail to imitate secondary to deficits in praxis processing and not due to deficits in emotional connectedness or Theory of Mind only? What might we learn about these patterns of praxis processing? What if meaningless gesture imitation is more impaired than production of meaningful gestures or vice versa? Does this information provide us with clues to the underlying cognitive deficits of this population? Predictions Individuals with autism will be more affected in the recognition of intransitive than in object related gestures. Intransitive gestures in verbal and visual modality will be more difficult than pantomimes in the same modality. Imitation deficits will extend to meaningless gestures. Patterns of praxis processing will be identified similar to adult patients with limb apraxia

46 Interpretation of Findings Intransitive Gestures and Pantomimes rely on different cognitive processes to perform. Deficits in social cognition affect performance of intransitive gestures in individuals with autism Verbal Response Only was only identified in ASD group Suggests that when gestural production tasks require on-line processing necessitating recruitment of socio-cognitive cognitive demands, this pattern emerges Meaningless Gestures in Autism

50 Results TD group outperformed the ASD group [OR = 2.2, p =.001] Hand and Finger Imitation were not significantly different from one another and they were not significantly correlated VMI, WLM, FSIQ, and Hand Matching did not significantly contribute to imitation success No Group X Task Interaction but CV X Task and CV x Group interactions were identified Finger Matching associated with increased success of finger imitation but not hand imitation [OR=1.20, p =.01] This effect stronger in the TD group [OR = 1.50, p =.003]
51 Interpretation of Findings Imitation deficits are not explained by motor difficulties alone Cognitive variables were differentially associated with either hand imitation or finger imitation performance suggesting that the underlying cognitive mechanisms sub serving hand and finger imitation may differ Hand and finger imitation appear to be task dependent suggesting further research is required for meaningless gesture imitation in autism Task of finger matching was a better predictor of finger imitation than a visual perception task using shapes and objects Conclusions Imitation needs to be considered as part of an overall praxis processing system and not in isolation Individuals with autism performed more poorly in tasks including recognition, comprehension, and production Gestural deficits could not be fully explained by the underlying cognitive mechanisms including Visual Motor Integration or Visual Perceptual Skills Patterns of praxis processing have been identified similar to cases of limb apraxia in adult patient populations
