| Abstract | Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) experience difficulty with sound discrimination. In such cases, nonverbal communication, such as gestures, is known to improve language performance. The objectives of this study were tocompare โThai-wordsโ speech sound discrimination with positive and neutral emotional stimulus paradigm using the mismatchnegativity (MMN) technique, between children with ASD and typically developing children (TDC); and to find the correlationbetween MMN and clinical severity of ASD. Event-related potentials (ERP) using neutral and positive emotional stimulusparadigm were assessed and the MMN was analyzed. Our results found that children with ASD showed less negative meanamplitude of MMN over Cz electrode compared to the TDC. Moreover, the mean amplitude of MMN in the ASD group waspositively correlated with the sensory/cognitive awareness domain of Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC). Inconclusion, the MMN can be used as an electrophysiological marker of ASD clinical severity. |
