Abstract

Objective: To evaluate improved identification and the generalization of the RITA-T (Rapid interactive Screening Test for Autism in Toddlers) model through partnerships with Primary Care (PC), Early Intervention (EI), and Autism Diagnosticians. Methods: Over 3 years (2018-2021), 15 EI and 9 PC (MD and NP) centers participated in this project. We trained providers on the RITA-T and established screening models. We reviewed charts of all toddlers referred through this model and compared wait times, and diagnoses, to those evaluated through regular referral in a tertiary-based autism clinic. We also examined the RITA-T psychometrics. Results: 377 toddlers met our inclusion criteria. Wait time for diagnosis was an average of 2.8 months and led to further collaboration between community providers. RITA-T cut-off scores stayed consistent. Providers reported improved confidence and easy integration of this model. Conclusions: This model is generalizable and improves the Early Identification of ASD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

9. Male-Female Differences in Cognitive Abilities in Various Age Groups. Technical Report 1982-3.

Author

Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation, Boston, MA., Trafton, Richard S., and Garrison, William T.

Abstract

The research question addressed was whether sex differences in cognitive ability are smaller in younger age groups than in older age groups. A battery of 12 aptitude tests measuring visualization, spatial orientation, perceptual speed, associative memory, number memory, eidetic memory, spatial scanning, visual memory, and flexibility of closure were administered to a sample of 1,011 females and 1,226 males ranging in age from 14 to 63 years of age. Mean male and female performances on each test were compared for 22 age groups. Examination of mean differences for age did not support a suggested trend toward smaller differences between males and females on measures of cognitive ability. The results were consistent with previous research on sex differences. Males outperformed females on spatial tests; females outperformed males on the perceptual speed measure and the test of associative memory. (Three data tables are included.) (YLB)
