Visuo-spatial Processing in Autism—Testing the Predictions of Extreme Male Brain Theory / Christine M. FALTER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38-3 (March 2008)
[article]
Titre : Visuo-spatial Processing in Autism—Testing the Predictions of Extreme Male Brain Theory Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Christine M. FALTER, Auteur ; Kate C. PLAISTED, Auteur ; Greg DAVIS, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.507-515 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Visuo-spatial-cognition 2D:4D Prenatal testosterone Extreme-male-brain Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : It has been hypothesised that autism is an extreme version of the male brain, caused by high levels of prenatal testosterone (Baron-Cohen 1999). To test this proposal, associations were assessed between three visuo-spatial tasks and prenatal testosterone, indexed in second-to-fourth digit length ratios (2D:4D). The study included children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ASD (N = 28), and chronological as well as mental age matched typically-developing children (N = 31). While the group with ASD outperformed the control group at Mental Rotation and Figure-Disembedding, these group differences were not related to differences in prenatal testosterone level. Previous findings of an association between Targeting and 2D:4D were replicated in typically-developing children and children with ASD. The implications of these results for the extreme male brain (EMB) theory of autism are discussed.
