Simulation to Build Empathy in Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorders: a Video Modeling Study
No full textSince a deficit in empathy is not only characteristic among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) but categorically used in defining ASD, it is of utmost importance to explore educational avenues to build prosocial skills among this group. This study sought to explore the primary research question: What impact does the implementation of an empathy-focused video modeling intervention have on frequency of empathic behaviour among adolescents with ASD? The secondary research questions examined were: In what ways does employing a video modeling simulation intervention using the Model Me Kids Friendship program impact the ability of adolescents with ASD to demonstrate empathic behaviour? How do adolescents with ASD express or speak about their empathic behaviour following participation in a simulation intervention using Model Me Kids Friendship? How do the Educational Resource Facilitators (teaching assistants) perceive the same individuals’ empathic behaviour following participation in a simulation intervention using Model Me Kids Friendship (MMF)?
This mixed methods study explores 1 particular video modeling simulation program as a focused approach to building empathic behaviour among adolescents with ASD. The theoretical framework presented blends theory of mind, simulation theory, and psychological theories of empathic behaviour including the inherent motor, cognitive, and emotional components. Individuals with ASD may not learn empathic behaviours solely through observation as typically developing children do, but findings suggest that through video simulation, practice may, in fact, lead to increased empathic behaviour. The quantitative findings were not significant but did show increase in motor empathy behaviour ratings among intervention group participants. Support for video modeling as a vehicle to teach empathic behaviour was provided by qualitative data collected over the course of 4 months contextualizing specific examples of empathic behaviour exhibited by participating teens with ASD. There is a link made between high levels of systematizing among teens on the spectrum (the drive to analyze and build a system) and video modeling as a means to foster empathic behaviour, thereby supporting an increased use of video simulation strategies to teach social skills among this group

A Comparative Perspective on Legal and Clinical Reasonings
No full textThe increasing encounters of clinical science and the rule of law in and outside the courtrooms is one distinctive characteristic of our modern era. At first glance, legal analysis and clinical reasoning could be either completely different or substantially similar. Should we consider the issue through the lens of our scientific revolution legacy, a common rational framework would be a defining converging point drawing together a step-by-step analysis from proven or known facts to the applicable standards, whether it be of law or medicine. However, key differences cannot be overlooked between two disciplines which purport to answer different sets of “what is” vs “should be” questions. This text provides an in-depth comparative analysis of the premises and processes underlying both the legal and clinical reasonings. It highlights cultural differences between the two disciplines which extend beyond the need to translate between two distinct languages, that of law and of medicine. Rather, it can be fairly stated that a court trial involving medical expertise should be ordering a fair and structured translating process between legal and medical cultures.Les rencontres croissantes entre le raisonnement clinique et la primauté du droit à l\u27intérieur et à l\u27extérieur des salles d\u27audience ont une caractéristique distinctive de notre ère moderne. À première vue, l\u27analyse juridique et le raisonnement clinique pourraient être complètement différents ou sensiblement similaires. Devrions-nous considérer la question à travers le prisme de notre héritage de la révolution scientifique ? un cadre rationnel commun serait un point de convergence déterminant rassemblant une analyse étape par étape des faits avérés ou connus aux normes applicables, qu\u27elles soient de droit ou de médecine. Cependant, les principales différences ne peuvent être négligées entre deux disciplines qui prétendent répondre à différents ensembles de questions « ce qui est » et « devrait être ». Ce texte propose une analyse comparative approfondie des prémisses et des processus qui sous-tendent à la fois les raisonnements juridiques et cliniques. Il met en évidence des différences culturelles entre les deux disciplines qui vont au-delà de la nécessité de traduire entre deux langues distinctes, celle du droit et celle de la médecine. Au contraire, on peut affirmer à juste titre qu\u27un procès impliquant une expertise médicale devrait ordonner un processus de traduction équitable et structuré entre les cultures juridiques et médicales
