Pathophysiologic Findings in Nonretarded Autism and Receptive Developmental Language Disorder.

Courchesne, Eric; And Others

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v19 n1 p1-17 Mar 1989

The study investigated two neurophysiologic components of event-related brain potential during auditory and visual target detection tasks with 11 non-retarded autistic children, 9 retarded autistic children, and 16 normal subjects, aged 15-19. Results were consistent with the hypothesis that non-retarded autism involves abnormal attentional and cognitive responses to important information. (DB)
