Linking Theory of Mind and Central Coherence Bias in Autism and in the General Population.
Jarrold, Christopher; Butler, David W.; Cottington, Emily M.; Jimenez, Flora
Developmental Psychology, v36 n1 p126-38 Jan 2000
Three experiments investigated whether theory-of-mind deficits and weak central coherence might be functionally related. Found that theory-of-mind performance was inversely related to a measure of central coherence bias in the general population. Poor theory-of-mind performance was linked to weak central coherence among children with typical development and with autism, after accounting for differences in verbal mental ages. (Author/KB)
