Baron-Cohen, Simon; O'Riordan, Michelle; Stone, Valerie; Jones, Rosie; Plaisted, Kate
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v29 n5 p407-18 Oct 1999
This article describes a test of theory of mind for children, ages 7-11, that involved recognition of faux pas. Three studies used the test with children with high functioning autism (HFA) or Asperger syndrome (AS). Results indicated that children with HFA or AS were significantly impaired on this task when compared to normally developing children. (Author/DB)
