Thirty-seven cognitively able children… In this study, the longitudinal relationships among these 3 aspects of cognition in autism were investigated. There is strong evidence to suggest that individuals with autism show atypicalities in multiple cognitive domains, including theory of mind (ToM), executive function (EF), and central coherence (CC). Individual Differences in Executive Function and Central Coherence Predict Developmental Changes in Theory of Mind in Autism We sought to pinpoint the level at which AS individuals experience difficulty detecting semantic ambiguity and identify the factors that account for their problems. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of central coherence skills and theory of mind competences in ambiguity detection in adolescents with Asperger syndrome (AS). Le Sourn-Bissaoui, Sandrine Caillies, Stephanie Gierski, Fabien Motte, Jacques On a narrative task, there were no…Īmbiguity Detection in Adolescents with Asperger Syndrome: Is Central Coherence or Theory of Mind Impaired? Twenty adults with HFA/AS correctly answered significantly fewer theory of mind questions than 20 controls on a forced-choice response task. The study investigated theory of mind and central coherence abilities in adults with high-functioning autism (HFA) or Asperger syndrome (AS) using naturalistic tasks. Theory of Mind and Central Coherence in Adults with High-Functioning Autism or Asperger Syndrome These results support the theory of mind deficit account of autism spectrum disorders, and suggest that difficulties in mental state attribution cannot be exclusively attributed to weak central coherence. No between-group differences existed on the central coherence questions of the forced-choice response task, and the participants with HFA/AS included an equivalent proportion of explanations for non-mental state phenomena in their narratives as did controls. On a narrative task, there were no differences in the proportion of mental state words between the two groups, although the participants with HFA/AS were less inclined to provide explanations for characters' mental states. Theory of mind and central coherence in adults with high-functioning autism or Asperger syndrome.
Poor theory-of-mind performance was linked to weak central coherence among children with typical… Found that theory-of-mind performance was inversely related to a measure of central coherence bias in the general population. Three experiments investigated whether theory-of-mind deficits and weak central coherence might be functionally related. Linking Theory of Mind and Central Coherence Bias in Autism and in the General Population. In addition, this study explored the relations between the weak central coherence hypothesis, theory of mind skills, and… This study sought to provide a test of the weak central coherence hypothesis. Recent theory and research suggests that weak central coherence, a specific perceptual-cognitive style, underlies the central disturbance in autism.
