Comprehension of Concrete and Abstract Words in Autistic Children.
Eskes, Gail A.; And Others
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v20 n1 p61-73 Mar 1990
Eleven autistic children, age 8-19, were administered a variation of the Stroop task which involved comprehending single words that differed along a concrete-abstract dimension and that exhibited varying amounts of interference. Both concrete and abstract words appeared as meaningful to autistic children as to reading-matched controls. (Author/JDD)
