Theory of Mind-Based Action in Children from the Autism Spectrum.
Begeer, Sander; Rieffe, Carolien; Terwogt, Mark Meerum; Stockmann, Lex
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v33 n5 p479-87 Oct 2003
Children (ages 7-12) were invited to carry out two tasks. Sabotage resulted in the experimenter appearing to have a false belief. Whereas children with pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (n=12) corrected the false belief in the rewarded task condition, children with autism (n=10) were not influenced by task condition.
