Föreliggande studie syftar till att skapa en ordlista med tillhörande bildmaterial som kan utgöra ett underlag för att bedöma den fonologiska förmågan hos finskspråkiga barn. Ytterligare undersöks huruvida de utvalda målorden ingår i det aktiva ordförrådet hos finskspråkiga barn mellan 3-5 år och kan bli eliciterade utifrån de valda bilderna. Slutligen presenteras förbättringsförslag för det framtagna materialet. Ordlistan består utav 80 ord och utgår frånBirutés och Stembergers (2010) principer för att möjliggöra en ickelinjär analys. Samtliga fonemi det finska språket är representerade, med ett par undantag vad gäller marginella fonem.Ytterligare ingår ett stort antal diftonger, konsonantsekvenser och andra stavelse- och ordstrukturer. I studien deltog sammanlagt 24 finsktalande barn med ett åldersspann mellan 3–5år. Barnen delades in i två åldersgrupper för att möjliggöra en jämförelse mellan de yngre (3;0–3;11 år) och de äldre (4;0–4;9 år) barnen. Barnens svar kategoriserades utefter typen av promting och eliciteringsstrategier som användes för att elicitera målordet. Dessa kategorier var spontan benämning, semantisk promting, fonologisk promting, alternativ, eftersägning och utebliven produktion. Signifikant fler ord eliciterades genom spontan produktion hos barn i den äldre gruppen än i den yngre. För den yngre gruppen eliciterades signifikant fler ord inom semantisk promting, alternativ och eftersägning. Antalet ord där produktionen uteblev (utebliven produktion) var signifikant fler hos den yngre gruppen. Ytterligare noterades användning av oförväntade böjningsformer och varianter för respektive barn. Resultatet indikerade att fler av målorden förefaller finnas i de äldre barnens aktiva ordförråd än de yngres. Slutsatser från denna studie är att majoriteten av de framtagna orden och tillhörande bilder fungerar för elicitering men att ändringar behöver göras i det existerande materialet. Studiens resultat indikerar att 14 antal ord och 11 antal bilder inte fungerar för elicitering. Föreslagna ändringar är att 11 ord byts ut, tretas bort och 10 läggs till. Ytterligare föreslås att 10 bilder byts ut. / The aim of this present study was to create a word list and select appropriate pictures that can be used in a picture naming test to assess phonological abilities in Finnish speaking children.Further this study investigates whether the selected target words are present in the expressive vocabulary of Finnish speaking children aged 3-5 years and if they can be elicited with the chosen pictures. Suggestions for further improvement of the material are discussed. The wordlist includes 80 words that were chosen according to criteria for a phonological assessment material presented by Bérubé and Stemberger (2010) and enables a non-linear analysis. In the created material all phonemes in the Finnish language are represented with few exceptions regardingmarginal phonemes. Many different diphthongs, consonant sequences and other syllable and word structures are also included. The participants in this study consisted of 24 Finnish speaking children aged between 3-5 years. The children were divided into two age groups to enable comparisons between younger (3;0-3;11 years) and older (4;0-4;9 years) children. The children's answers were categorized according to the type of prompting or elicitation strategies that were needed to elicit the target word. These categories were spontaneous production, semantic prompting, phonological prompting, alternatives, imitation, and unproduced words.Significantly more words were elicited by spontaneous production among the older children than the younger children. In the younger group, significantly more words were elicited by semantic prompting, alternatives, and imitation. The number of unproduced words were significantly higher in the younger group. No significant differences were found for the remaining categories. Production of unexpected inflectional forms and other variations were also noted. The result indicates that a large amount of the target words was present in the older group's expressive vocabulary compared to the younger group. Conclusions of this study are that most of the selected words and pictures are appropriate in picture naming context, but that some alterations to the existing material are needed since 14 words and 11 pictures cannot be elicited to asufficient extent. Suggested alterations are that 11 words are exchanged, three removed, and tenadded, to improve the existing wordlist. A further suggestion is that ten pictures are exchanged.

O fenômeno da fragilização dos papéis parentais, presente na família contemporânea, está relacionado a dificuldades que os pais possuem em educar seus filhos, na atualidade, devido à insegurança e dúvidas quanto ao posicionamento que devem assumir perante os mesmos. Frente o exposto acima, esta dissertação teve como objetivo compreender a correlação entre pais que apresentavam características da fragilização dos papéis parentais com o aparecimento de comportamentos freqüentes de agressividade, teimosia e/ou agitação em crianças de dois a cinco anos de idade, num ambiente escolar. Partimos da hipótese de que crianças que estivessem manifestando estes comportamentos na escola, diante do professor, pudessem estar revelando, como num sintoma, um posicionamento enfraquecido de autoridade de seus pais. Utilizamos uma metodologia de pesquisa de campo, de delineamento de estudo de caso-controle, através da comparação entre grupos com uma abordagem qualitativa. Visamos o contato com este fenômeno pela escola. Foram realizadas observações de crianças e entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os professores e pais, contando com roteiros de entrevista previamente desenvolvidos. Finalmente, uma observação de interação lúdica dos pais com seus filhos. O material coletado foi analisado, em cada família, através de quatro categorias de análise, tendo-se como referencial teórico a psicanálise, em especial, Freud e Winnicott; bem como, a construção teórica sócio-cultural, histórica e psicológica a respeito do fenômeno em questão. Verificamos que a presença da fragilização dos papéis parentais está relacionada aos pais cujos filhos manifestavam comportamentos freqüentes de agressividade, teimosia e/ou agitação na escola. Este fenômeno sofre influências de fatores e valores contemporâneos, contudo tais influências somente são capazes de gerar conflitos quando articuladas a dificuldades nas dinâmicas do casal conjugal e parental, favorecendo, desta forma, falta de coerência e consistência no relacionamento dos pais entre si e, conseqüentemente, destes com os filhos. / The phenomenon of the Weakening of parental role, in contemporary family, nowadays, is related to difficulties that parents have in educating their children, which is due to insecurity and doubts about the position that they should assume before their children. Facing that, this dissertation aimed to understand the correlation between parents who showed characteristics of the weakening of parental role and the frequent emergence of aggressive behaviors, stubbornness and/or agitation in children from two to five years old, in a school environment. We hypothesized that the children who were expressing these behaviors at school before the teacher could be revealing, as a symptom, a weakened position of their parents authority. We used a methodology of field work, the design study of \'case-control\', through the comparison among groups with a qualitative approach. We intended the contact with this phenomenon through school. Children were observed as well as parents and teachers were interviewed with routed interviews previously developed. Finally, it was observed the playful interaction of parents and their children. The material collected was analyzed in each family, in four categories of analysis, with a theoretical reference of the psychoanalysis, particularly, Freud and Winnicott, as well as the socio-cultural, historical and psychological theoretical construct about the phenomenon. We note that the presence of the \'weakening of parental roles\' is related to parents whose children demonstrated frequent aggressive behavior, stubbornness and/or agitation in school. This phenomenon is subjected to influences of contemporary aspects and values, although those influences are only able to generate conflicts when articulated with the difficulties in the dynamics of marital and parental couple, favoring for this, the lack of coherence and consistency of parents in their own relationship and consequently, with their children.

Les comportements stéréotypés et les intérêts restreints sont des comportements à valeur diagnostique dans l’autisme. Pourtant, il y a des lacunes en clinique, dans la façon de détecter ces comportements, considérant l’absence d’instruments standardisés les suscitant et en recherche, dans la façon de documenter ces comportements pour arriver à les définir de façon opérationnelle. Cette thèse a pour objectif de mieux documenter, par une situation d’observation, les comportements stéréotypés et les intérêts restreints en bas âge dans l’autisme, et de permettre l’utilisation de cette situation en clinique. Deux étapes préliminaires ont permis de documenter les comportements stéréotypés et les intérêts restreints en bas âge dans l’autisme. La première, l’élaboration d’un questionnaire sur les comportements stéréotypés et les intérêts restreints et les objets qui les déclenchent complété par des experts dans le domaine. Ce questionnaire a permis de construire la grille de cotation et la situation de stimulation. La seconde la construction d’une grille de cotation qui apporte une définition opérationnelle des comportements stéréotypés et des intérêts restreints en bas âge dans l’autisme et vise à les colliger. L’étape principale de la présente recherche consiste en l’élaboration d’une situation de stimulation suscitant des comportements stéréotypés et des intérêts restreints par l’exposition à des objets qui les déclenchent. Cette situation a permis de documenter, par observation, les comportements stéréotypés et les intérêts restreints en bas âge dans l’autisme. La validation de la situation de stimulation a été appliquée auprès de deux groupes d’enfants âgés de 24 à 72 mois appariés en âge chronologique, 21 enfants portant un diagnostic d’autisme et 24 enfants au développement typique Les résultats montrent que la situation de stimulation est un instrument suffisamment sensible pour détecter des comportements stéréotypés et des intérêts restreints en bas âge dans l’autisme et d’identifier des objets d’intérêt. En effet, lors de l’exposition à la situation de stimulation, les enfants autistes se distinguent des enfants typiques sur la base du nombre et de la durée des comportements stéréotypés et des intérêts restreints qu’ils présentent. Les enfants autistes montrent une fréquence significativement plus élevé pour les CSIR suivants: maniérismes des mains et des doigts, crispation des doigts, sautillement, doigts dans la bouche, objets dans la bouche, exploration visuelle: regard rapproché, met les objets en mouvement non circulaire. Les enfants autistes se distinguent également des enfants typiques sur la base de l’exploration des objets, en fréquence et en durée, significativement, pour les objets: Bateau: marteau et balles et lettres et chiffres. Cette étude est la première qui passe par un protocole d’observation systématique, pour documenter les comportements stéréotypés et les intérêts restreints, ainsi que les objets qui les déclenchent, des objets d’intérêt, en bas âge dans l’autisme. Cette situation pourrait ultimement faire partie du processus d’évaluation diagnostique ou de dépistage de l’autisme permettant d’identifier en bas âge des enfants autistes ou à risque d’autisme. / Restricted interests and repetitive behaviours constitute one of the three core domains of symptoms required for an autism spectrum diagnosis. However, the detection of these behaviours in clinical practice remains limited by the lack of validated instruments designed to elicit these behaviours during clinical assessment. Moreover, a lack of clear operational definitions of target behaviours limits the generalisation of findings amongst studies and its application to clinical practice. The aim of this thesis is to document the occurrence and quality of restricted interests and repetitive behaviours in young autistic children and to develop a validated stimulating play situation that can readily be use to elicit target behaviours in clinical assessments. Preliminary steps documented the various restricted interests and repetitive behaviours as well as the objects likely to trigger these behaviours in children with autism using a questionnaire completed by experts in the field. The list of the most common behaviours was used to build the observational rating scale based on operational definitions of the restricted interests and repetitive behaviours. The main part of this study was to develop a stimulating play situation designed to elicit restricted interests and repetitive behaviours through exposure to specific objects previously identified as potential triggers. This situation documented, through detailed observation, restricted interests and repetitive behaviours most commonly found in autism during infancy. Validation of the stimulating play situation consisted in exposing twenty one (21) autistic experimental subjects and twenty four (24) typically developing control subjects, aged from 24 to 72 months, matched for chronological and developmental non-verbal age. Results demonstrate sufficient sensitivity of the stimulating play situation to accurately detect restricted interests and repetitive behaviours as well as objects of interest in children with autism. Autistic children differ from typically developing children on the amount and duration of restricted interests and repetitive behaviours, significantly for: hand flapping, hand and fingers posturing, hopping, putting finger in mouth, putting objects in mouth, putting object in movement, and visual exploration. Regarding which objects were explored, a greater proportion of autistic participants played with the hammer and balls toy and did so more frequently and for a longer period of time than typical children. This study is the first to use a systematic observation protocol to document restricted interests and repetitive behaviours and objects of interest in autism during early childhood. This new instrument could ultimately be used in the identification of young autistic children as part of the diagnostic or screening assessment.
