Abstract
Guess What? Comparing Ad-hoc and Scalar Implicatures in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Highlights
Pragmatic abilities of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have been the subject of extensive research, often considering their communicative problems as derived from their deficit in Theory of Mind (ToM)
The typically developing (TD) group showed no correlation between ToM performance and the percent correct in the two conditions
The results showed that TD group’s performance was significantly better in the ad-hoc condition than the ASD’s, and both groups’ performance was related to Age
Summary
Pragmatic abilities of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have been the subject of extensive research, often considering their communicative problems as derived from their deficit in Theory of Mind (ToM). The average percent correct in the control condition is 98% for the ASD and 96% for the TD.
