The Role of Age and Verbal Ability in the Theory of Mind Task Performance of Subjects with Autism.
Happe, Francesca G. E.
Child Development, v66 n3 p843-55 Jun 1995
Pooled data from previous studies in which autistic, mentally handicapped, and normal young children had been tested on theory of mind tasks. Found that normal children at a verbal mental age of four years, but autistic children at a verbal mental age of more than nine years, had a 50% chance of passing the theory of mind tests. (BC)
