Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mayer, Jennifer L.; Hannent, Ian; Heaton, Pamela F. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Whilst enhanced perception has been widely reported in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs), relatively little is known about the developmental trajectory and impact of atypical auditory processing on speech perception in intellectually high-functioning adults with ASD. This paper presents data on perception of complex tones and…

Solomon, Marjorie; Buaminger, Nirit; Rogers, Sally J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2011
To investigate the relationship between cognitive and social functioning, 20 Israeli individuals with HFASD aged 8-12 and 22 age, maternal education, and receptive vocabulary-matched preadolescents with typical development (TYP) came to the lab with a close friend. Measures of abstract reasoning, friendship quality, and dyadic interaction during a…

Language and Theory of Mind in Autism Spectrum Disorder: The Relationship between Complement Syntax and False Belief Task Performance
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lind, Sophie E.; Bowler, Dermot M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2009
This study aimed to test the hypothesis that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) use their knowledge of complement syntax as a means of "hacking out" solutions to false belief tasks, despite lacking a representational theory of mind (ToM). Participants completed a "memory for complements" task, a measure of receptive vocabulary, and…

Sequential and Simultaneous Processing Abilities of High-Functioning Autistic and Language-Impaired Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Allen, Mark H.; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1991
This study found that a group of 20 children (ages 6-12) with autism and a group of 20 children with developmental receptive language disorder both manifested a relative sequential processing deficit. The groups did not differ significantly on overall sequential and simultaneous processing capabilities relative to their degree of language…

Comparisons between Autistic and Nonautistic Children on the Test for Auditory Comprehension of Language.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Beisler, Jean Madsen; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1987
The study examined the performance of 19 pairs of autistic and nonautistic (but with a language delay of at least six months) children on the Test for Auditory Comprehension of Language. Results indicated no significant differences between groups or between sexes within groups in receptive language skills. (Author/DB)

Pathophysiologic Findings in Nonretarded Autism and Receptive Developmental Language Disorder.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Courchesne, Eric; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1989
The study investigated two neurophysiologic components of event-related brain potential during auditory and visual target detection tasks with 11 non-retarded autistic children, 9 retarded autistic children, and 16 normal subjects, aged 15-19. Results were consistent with the hypothesis that non-retarded autism involves abnormal attentional and…
