Steele, Shelly; Joseph, Robert M.; Tager-Flusberg, Helen
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v33 n4 p461-67 Aug 2003
A longitudinal study investigated developmental change in theory of mind among 57 children (ages 4-14) with autism. Theory of mind tests were administered on an initial visit and one year later. Data indicated significant developmental improvement in theory of mind ability, which was primarily related to the children's language ability. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
