Sentence Comprehension in Autistic Children.

Tager-Flusberg, Helen

Applied Psycholinguistics, v2 n1 p5-22 Feb 1981

Comprehension and strategy use of 18 autistic children was compared with that of normal 3- and 4-year olds. Subjects were asked to act out certain syntactic and semantic patterns in two experiments. Autistic children performed below the levels of the normal subjects, suggesting that autism is a semantic/cognitive deficit. (PJM)
