Pragmatic Abilities in Children with Congenital Visual Impairment: An Exploration of Non-literal Language and Advanced Theory of Mind Understanding / Judith PIJNACKER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-11 (November 2012)

So far, research focused on first-order theory of mind, and included mainly blind children, whereas the majority of visually impaired children is not totally blind. The present study set out to explore whether children with a broader range of congenital visual impairments have a delay in more advanced theory of mind understanding, in particular second-order theory of mind (i.e. awareness that other people have beliefs about beliefs) and non-literal language (e.g. irony or figure of speech). Twenty-four children with congenital visual impairment and 24 typically developing sighted children aged between 6 and 13 were included. All children were presented with a series of stories involving understanding of theory of mind and non-literal language. When compared with sighted children of similar age and verbal intelligence, performance of children with congenital visual impairment on advanced theory of mind and non-literal stories was alike. The ability to understand the motivations behind non-literal language was associated with age, verbal intelligence and theory of mind skills, but was not associated with visual ability.

Pragmatic Inferences in High-Functioning Adults with Autism and Asperger Syndrome / Judith PIJNACKER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 39-4 (April 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 39-4 (April 2009) . - p.607-618 Titre : Pragmatic Inferences in High-Functioning Adults with Autism and Asperger Syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Judith PIJNACKER, Auteur ; Jan K. BUITELAAR, Auteur ; Peter HAGOORT, Auteur ; Jan-Pieter TEUNISSE, Auteur ; Bart GEURTS, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.607-618 Note générale : Article Open Access Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic-disorder Asperger-syndrome Pragmatics Inferences Scalar-implicatures Language-understanding Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) often have severe problems with pragmatic aspects of language, little is known about their pragmatic reasoning. We carried out a behavioral study on high-functioning adults with autistic disorder (n = 11) and Asperger syndrome (n = 17) and matched controls (n = 28) to investigate whether they are capable of deriving scalar implicatures, which are generally considered to be pragmatic inferences. Participants were presented with underinformative sentences like “Some sparrows are birds”. This sentence is logically true, but pragmatically inappropriate if the scalar implicature “Not all sparrows are birds” is derived. The present findings indicate that the combined ASD group was just as likely as controls to derive scalar implicatures, yet there was a difference between participants with autistic disorder and Asperger syndrome, suggesting a potential differentiation between these disorders in pragmatic reasoning. Moreover, our results suggest that verbal intelligence is a constraint for task performance in autistic disorder but not in Asperger syndrome.
