Here, we test the prediction that bilingualism may influence the manifestations of dyslexia. We compared the deficits…

We identified clusters of atypical sensory functioning adults with ASC by hierarchical cluster analysis. A new scale for commonly self-reported sensory reactivity was used as a measure. In a low frequency group (n = 37), all subscale scores were relatively low, in particular atypical sensory/motor reactivity. In the intermediate group (n = 17)…

This study compared the rates of psychiatric disorders in 50 children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, 24…

A total of 54 graduate students (15 male, 39 female) wrote one essay by hand and…

Multivariate methods were used to identify between-set factors relating the criterion set of eleven Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Revised subtest variables to the predictor set of demographic variables: age, race, sex, education, occupation, geographic region, and urban versus rural residence.
