This study analyzes the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test-Learning Potential (WCST-LP) in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) versus children with typical development (TD). Its main aim was to assess: the test’s construct validity; the effect of IQ on its pretest and LP scores; and whether the WCST-LP held any relationship to cognitive/EF and social abilities. Participants were 105 children (43 with ASD/62 with TD). Results showed evidence of construct validity in an ASD population (improvements from pretest to posttest), that full IQ influenced pretest performance but did not affect LP, and that a relationship between LP and verbal and social abilities existed only in children with ASD. Conclusions indicate the appropriateness of the WCST-LP in ASD prognosis assessment., Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación R&D [proyecto número PSI2011-24370], Proyecto de Excelencia 2012 con nº P12-SEJ-560 de la Junta de Andalucía

Executive Functions (EF) are considered necessary for dealing with new situations and for controlling one's behavior. Studies have confirmed EF difficulties in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and in children from disadvantaged families (DF). This study aimed to examine EF difficulties in the two populations –ASD and DF children- with respect to EF in children who show typical development (TD). A total of 89 children between the ages of 7 and 12 years participated, divided into three groups: 28 with ASD, 36 from DF and 25 with TD. Assessments were made with different measures of EF (working memory, cognitive flexibility, inhibition, planning and self-regulation) and central coherence. In general, the children from DF obtained the lowest scores in all measures, although differences were not significant with respect to the other groups in all cases. Children with ASD obtained similar scores to the TD group in executive attention and working memory, and higher scores in central coherence. In comparison to the children from DF, the ASD children did better on all measures. These results would indicate that intervention programs designed for the two groups must be focus on different kind of tasks., Proyecto de Excelencia 2012 con referencia P12-SEJ-560 de la Junta de Andalucía

Data summary.- Ultrasonic guided-wave test data: Frequency of excitation: 300 kHz (radial mode of vibration) Shape: sinusoid of 4 cycles Amplitude: 45 Vpp Sampling frequency: 60 kHz Fatigue test data.- Load type: Tension-Tension (using Instron 8850 servo-hydraulic fatigue testing machine) Minimum load: 1kN Maximum load: 10kN Frequency: 6Hz Number of cycles: 100 000 Specimen information.- Aluminum plate Alloy: QQA250/5 ‘O’ 2024 Dimensions: 245mm x 500mm x 1mm Central notch length: 22.5mm (centered with respect to the test sample centerline and machined using a laser cutting procedure) Further description.- The fatigue test has been performed using a middle tension [M(T)] specimen with a centered crack and loaded in tension using a positive loading ratio. A fatigue pre-cracking procedure was applied to develop a fresh and straight crack front to mitigate the effect of the machined started notch. The detection and monitoring of the crack onset and growth was carried out using two phased-arrays of six piezoelectric wafer active sensors (PWAS), one set as transmitter, the other as receiver. Piezoelectric ceramic disc transducers of 7mm diameter and 0.5mm thickness have been used in this fatigue test. They PWAS were placed symmetrically with regards to the sample centerline and bonded to the aluminum surface using a 3M Scotch-Weld DP490 epoxy adhesive (TradeMarks). File naming convention: “P_AL_S01_BF6.mat” or “P_AL_S01_BF6_XXX.mat” with XXX=1000, 2000, 3000, 100 000; P stands for Plate; AL stands for Aluminum; S01 stands for specimen 01; BF6 stands for Beamforming using 6 transducers; XXX are the number of cycles at which the fatigue test stopped and the ultrasonic guided-wave tests were performed (every 1000 fatigue cycle). Note 1: The file “P_AL_S01_BF6.mat” contains the data with the structure in pristine state. Note 2: The files “P_AL_S01_BF6_XXX.mat” contains the data after XXX fatigue cycles. Further details about the internal data structure of the MAT-files included within the Readme file within the dataset.

Data underlying the wildlife population abundances shown in Figure 4. Population sizes (kilometric abundance index) were estimated monthly as the number of observed individuals along fixed, 20-m width transects adding up to 10.2 km length and distributed throughout the estate, from 2006 to 2018.

Growing up in a high family risk (HFR) environment is accompanied by difficulties in executive functions (EFs) and interpersonal skills (IS) that may persist into adulthood. Because preadolescence is a critical period, this study will assess a multicomponent mediational intervention program, to determine the possibility of improving these skills. There were 61 preadolescent participants, between the ages of 8 and 12; 34 were associated with HFR and 27 were associated with low family risk (LFR). All the participants were tested with EF and IS measures. Results showed that, prior to treatment, the HFR preadolescents had poorer performance on EF and IS than did the LFR preadolescents. In the posttreatment measures, to assess the utility of the multicomponent program, the HFR preadolescents group was able to match the scores of those in the LFR group. In addition, intervention effects in the HFR group were maintained in the follow-up assessment., Proyecto de Excelencia 2012 con referencia P12-SEJ-560 de la Junta de Andalucía
