Scalar Implicature in Absence of Epistemic Reasoning? The Case of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hochstein, Lara; Bale, Alan; Barner, David – Language Learning and Development, 2018
We investigated "scalar implicature" in adolescents and children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to test whether theory of mind deficits associated with autism affect pragmatic inferences in language. We tested scalar implicature computation in adolescents with ASD (12-18 years) and asked whether they reason about mental states when…

Measuring Theory of Mind in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Brewer, Neil; Young, Robyn L.; Barnett, Emily – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2017
Deficits in Theory of Mind (ToM)--the ability to interpret others' beliefs, intentions and emotions--undermine the ability of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to interact in socially normative ways. This study provides psychometric data for the Adult-Theory of Mind (A-ToM) measure using video-scenarios based in part on Happé's…

Theory of Mind and Executive Control Deficits in Typically Developing Adults and Adolescents with High Levels of Autism Traits
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gökçen, Elif; Frederickson, Norah; Petrides, K. V. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterised by profound difficulties in empathic processing and executive control. Whilst the links between these processes have been frequently investigated in populations with autism, few studies have examined them at the subclinical level. In addition, the contribution of alexithymia, a trait characterised by…

Personality Traits, Autobiographical Memory and Knowledge of Self and Others: A Comparative Study in Young People with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Robinson, Sally; Howlin, Patricia; Russell, Ailsa – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2017
The relationship between dissociable components of autobiographical memory (e.g. semantic personality traits and episodic memory retrieval) and other cognitive skills that are proposed to enable one to develop a sense of self (e.g. introspection) have not previously been explored for children with autism spectrum disorder. This study compared…

Reputation Management in Children on the Autism Spectrum
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cage, Eilidh; Bird, Geoffrey; Pellicano, Elizabeth – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Being able to manage reputation is an important social skill, but it is unclear whether autistic children can manage reputation. This study investigated whether 33 autistic children matched to 33 typical children could implicitly or explicitly manage reputation. Further, we examined whether cognitive processes--theory of mind, social motivation,…

Brunsdon, Victoria E. A.; Colvert, Emma; Ames, Catherine; Garnett, Tracy; Gillan, Nicola; Hallett, Victoria; Lietz, Stephanie; Woodhouse, Emma; Bolton, Patrick; Happé, Francesca – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2015
Background: The behavioural symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are thought to reflect underlying cognitive deficits/differences. The findings in the literature are somewhat mixed regarding the cognitive features of ASD. This study attempted to address this issue by investigating a range of cognitive deficits and the prevalence of multiple…
