Random Number Generation in Autism.
Williams, Mark A.; Moss, Simon A.; Bradshaw, John L.; Rinehart, Nicole J.
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v32 n1 p43-47 Feb 2002
This study explored the ability of 14 individuals with autism to generate a unique series of digits. Individuals with autism were more likely to repeat previous digits than comparison individuals, suggesting they may exhibit a shortfall in response inhibition. Results support the executive dysfunction theory of autism. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
