Social –emotional processing in nonverbal individuals with Angelman syndrome: evidence from brain responses to known and novel names

ConclusionsThese findings indicate good tolerability of ERP procedures (85% success rate). The lack of own name differentiation is consistent with increased incidence of the autism ‐related symptoms in AS. Strong associations between the caregiver reports of adaptive functioning and neural indices of known name recognition support the utility of brain‐based measures for objectively evaluating cognitive and affective processes in nonverbal persons with neurodevelopmental di sorders.
