Abstract

Uvod: Prijašnja istraživanja nisu dala jedinstven zaključak o sposobnosti prepoznavanja osjećaja u osoba oboljelih od poremećaja autističnog spektra (ASP); određen broj studija naglašava smanjenu sposobnost prepoznavanja osjećaja, a ostali navode da je sposobnost prepoznavanja osjećaja u osoba s ASP-om ista kao u normalno razvijenih vršnjaka. Ovaj rad predstavlja pregled literature objavljene unazad deset godina i bavi se sposobnošću prepoznavanja osjećaja u osoba s autizmom i Ašpergerovim sindromom. ----- Metode: Koristili smo bazu podataka “PubMed“. Pomoću ključnih riječi: autizam, Aspergerov sindrom, prepoznavanje osjećaja i djeca, dobili smo ukupno 26 radova. Izostavili smo 10 radova poštujući kriterije isključivanja, tako da ovaj rad uključuje ukupno 16 članaka. ----- Rezultati: Članci su grupirani u četiri skupine radova. Prva skupina govori o povezanosti autizma i Ašpergerovog sindroma s smanjenom sposobnošću prepoznavanja emocija koju su dokazali slijedeći testovi i zadaci: SMT, DANVA, 2AFC, CAM-C, RMF-C, ECT, POET i FEEST. Druga skupina prikazuje rezultate novijih metoda, kao što su ATOMIC, FEFA i ET, u ispitivanju prepoznavanja osjećaja. Treća skupina govori o poremećaju pažnje kao bitnom uzroku smanjene sposobnosti prepoznavanja osjećaja. Četvrta skupina govori o pozitivnom utjecaju intervencija u oboljelih osoba. ----- Zaključak: Sposobnost prepoznavanja osjećaja je smanjena u osoba s autizmom i Ašpergerovim sindromom. Postoji pozitivna povezanost između smanjene sposobnosti prepoznavanja osjećaja te dobi i IQ-a oboljelih. Poremećena pažnja u oboljelih dovodi do smanjene sposobnosti prepoznavanja osjećaja. Rana i intenzivna intervencija može povećati sposobnost prepoznavanja osjećaja u osoba s višom razinom funkcioniranja (HFA/AS).

Abstract (english)

Introduction: Previous studies have not provided a unique conclusion of ability to recognize emotions in a persons who are suffering from autistic spectrum disorders (ASD); a number of studies confirm the thesis emphasizing a reduced ability to recognize emotions, while others state that the ability to recognize emotions in a persons with ASD is the same as in normally developed peers. This study presents a survey of literature dealing with emotion recognition in persons with autism and Asperger syndrome over the last ten years. ---- Methods: We used database „PubMed“. By inputting the key word: autism, Asperger syndrome, emotion recognition and children, we obtained the total of 26 references. 10 papers were left out with the exclusion crieria, so this survey includes 19 studies all together. ----- Results: The results are presented in four groups of articles. The first group showed the connection between autism and Asperger syndrome and decreased recognition of emotions on following tests and assignments: SMT, DANVA, 2AFC, CAM-C, RMF-C, ECT, POET and FEEST. The second group showed the results of new testing methods (ATOMIC, FEFA, ET) to recognize emotions. The third group emphasized the attention disorder as an important cause of decreased recognition of emotions. The fourth group talks about the positive impact of interventions in affected individuals. ----- Conclusion: The ability to recognize emotions is reduced in persons with autism and Asperger syndrome. There is a clear connection between reduced emotion recognition, age and IQ of the persons affected with this illness. Attention disorder of the affected people leads to reduced ability to recognize emotions. Early and intensive intervention can increase the ability to recognize emotions in persons with a higher level of functioning (HFA / AS).
