Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 40-7 (July 2010) . - p.800-811 Titre : Right Hemisphere Dysfunction and Metaphor Comprehension in Young Adults with Asperger Syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rinat GOLD, Auteur ; Miriam FAUST, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.800-811 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asperger-syndrome Metaphors Visual-fields Hemispheres Semantic-processing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined whether the known difficulties in metaphor comprehension exhibited by persons with Asperger syndrome (AS) can be explained by a dysfunctional right hemisphere (RH). Using the divided visual field paradigm, 27 AS participants and 36 matched controls were presented with word pairs of four types (literal, conventional metaphors, novel metaphors, and unrelated word pairs), and were asked to perform a semantic judgment task. The main hypothesis was that whereas the control group participants will show RH superiority for novel metaphor processing, no RH superiority will be found in the AS group. Results indeed indicate much less RH contribution to novel metaphor comprehension in AS, and are discussed in light of linguistic models and the neurobiology of autism.
