Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gaigg, Sebastian B.; Bowler, Dermot M. – Neuropsychologia, 2008
Since the earliest descriptions of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) abnormalities in affective behaviours have been considered a prominent feature in their clinical manifestations. What remains unclear, however, is whether these altered emotional behaviours are a mere facet of abnormalities in socio-cognitive processes or whether…

Photographic Cues Do Not Always Facilitate Performance on False Belief Tasks in Children with Autism.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bowler, Dermot M.; Briskman, Jacqueline A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2000
A study involving 12 preschool children with mental retardation, 13 children with autism, and 21 controls failed to show any facilitative effects of the use of representational and nonrepresentational cues on the performance of the children with and without autism on false belief tasks.

Attribution of Mechanical and Social Causality to Animated Displays by Children with Autism.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bowler, Dermot M.; Thommen, Evelyne – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2000
Two studies compared the descriptions given by children (N=74) with and without autism of animated stimuli depicting mechanical launching effects, intentional reactions, or sequences of mechanical and intentional reactions. Although children with autism were as able as control groups at these differentiations, differences were found in their…

Episodic Memory and Remembering in Adults with Asperger Syndrome.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bowler, Dermot M.; Gardiner, John M.; Grice, Sarah J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2000
A study compared 16 adults with Asperger syndrome and 10 controls in remember versus know recognition memory. Both groups showed superior recognition for low-frequency compared with high-frequency words. Recognition in the individuals with Asperger syndrome was associated with less remembering and more knowing than in the control group. (Contains…

Bowler, Dermot M.; Briskman, Jackie; Gurvidi, Nicole; Fornells-Ambrojo, Miriam – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2005
To evaluate the claim that correct performance on unexpected transfer false-belief tasks specifically involves mental-state understanding, two experiments were carried out with children with autism, intellectual disabilities, and typical development. In both experiments, children were given a standard unexpected transfer false-belief task and a…

Counterfactual Reasoning and False Belief Understanding in Children with Autism, Children with Severe Learning Difficulties and Children with Typical Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Peterson, Donald M.; Bowler, Dermot M. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2000
A study involving 36 British children with autism, 21 children with severe learning difficulties, and 54 controls found correlations between false belief and subtractive reasoning tasks; however, results indicate ability in subtractive reasoning was a necessary but not sufficient component of successful performance in the false belief tasks.…
