Autism I Flashcards
Modularity
Fine cuts along a hidden seam (Frith + Happe). Impaired protodeclarative unimpaired protoimperative. Social module? WS double dissociation?
Baron-Cohen 1995
ToM - thoughts and actions driven by beliefs that differ from ones own
Executive dysfunction
Goal-directed control of behaviour - frontal
Weak central coherence
Difficulty on seeing the bigger picture - global vs. local
Happe et al. 2006
On their own too specific, but together give rise to core aspects of behaviour. Act independently. Too static?
Pellicano 2010
Longitudinal study - ED + WCC predicted ToM ability. Early domain-general skills shape ToM developmental trajectory

Happe et al. 2006
On their own too specific, but together give rise to characteristic aspects of behaviour. Modules are independent. Too static?
Pellicano 2010
Longitudinal study - WCC + ED give rise to ToM performance. Domain-general abilities influence the developmental trajectory of ToM
