The Shape Bias in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: Potential Sources of Individual Differences

Conclusions These findings suggest that no single account sufficiently explains the observed individual differences in shape bias performance in children with ASD. Nonetheless, these findings break new ground in highlighting the role of social communicative interactions as integral to understanding specific language outcomes (i.e., the shape bias) in children with ASD, especially those with low verbal abilities, and point to new hypotheses concerning the linguistic content of these interactions.Presentation Videohttps://doi.org/10.23641/asha.7299581
