Attentional Capacities in Children with Autism: Is There a General Deficit in Shifting Focus?
Pascualvaca, Daisy M.; Fantie, Bryan D.; Papageorgiou, Maria; Mirsky, Allan F.
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v28 n6 p467-78 Dec 1998
Twenty-three autistic children and 23 nonautistic children completed an attention battery comprising continuous performance tests, a digit-cancellation task, the Wisconsin Card Sorting Tests, and two computerized tests of shifting attention. Children with autism could focus on a particular stimulus and sustain this focus and could shift their attention continuously. (Author/CR)
