Article Summary Assignment 2.docx PSYC 725 ARTICLE SUMMARY ASSIGNMENT PSYC 725 In every article there are specific sections that one should be very knowledgeable of in order to locate the appropriate information within a study. In this summary, this writer will give insight to the various areas of each article to impose its information in brief form. The two articles that will be discussed will be œA genome-wide association study of autism incorporating autism diagnostic interview- revised, autism diagnostic observation schedule, and social responsiveness scale by J. J. Connolly, J. T. Glessner, & H. Hakonarson and œHead circumference and height in autism: A study by the collaborative program of excellence in autism by J. E. Lainhart, et. al. J. J. Connolly, J. T. Glessner, & H. Hakonarson (2013) hypothesize whether specific endophenotypes associated with ASDs show association with genes. If it can be proven that endophenotypes associate with specific genes, the source of autism could be closer to being determined. It can also clarify some of the impact that autism has both cognitively and behaviorally. J. E. Lainhart, et. al. (2006) hypothesize that (1) the tendency toward increased head size in autism is a generalized phenomenon afecting the population of individuals with idiopathic autismspectrum disorders (ASD), (2) variation in standardized head circumference in autism is related to height, IQ, SES, and parental head circumference but not age, similar to typically developing children, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .
