Dawson, Geraldine; Munson, Jeffrey; Estes,Annette; Osterling, Julie; McPartland, Hames; Toth, Karen; Carver, Leslie; Abbott, Robert
Child Development, v73 n2 p345-58 Mar-Apr 2002
Examined performance on ventromedial prefrontal tasks of preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), preschoolers with developmental delays, and typically- developing 12- to 46-month-olds, matched on mental age. Found that children with ASD performed similarly to comparison groups on all executive function tasks. Ventromedial, but not dorsolateral, prefrontal task performance correlated strongly with joint attention ability. (Author/KB)
