In two experiments we compared the performance of autistic and typically developing adolescents on a set of conjunction fallacy tasks. Participants with autism were less susceptible to the conjunction fallacy. Experiment 2 also demonstrated that the difference between the groups did not result from increased sensitivity to the conjunction rule, or from impaired processing of social materials amongst the autistic participants. Although adolescents with autism showed less bias in their reasoning they were not more logical than the control group in a normative sense. The findings are discussed in the light of accounts which emphasise differences in contextual processing between typical and autistic populations.

Reasoning on the Basis of Fantasy Content: Two Studies with High-Functioning Autistic Adolescents / Kinga MORSANYI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-11 (November 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 42-11 (November 2012) . - p.2297-2311 Titre : Reasoning on the Basis of Fantasy Content: Two Studies with High-Functioning Autistic Adolescents Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kinga MORSANYI, Auteur ; Simon J. HANDLEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2297-2311 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Cognitive development  Developmental disorders  Executive functioning  Fantasy context  Syllogistic reasoning Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Reasoning about problems with empirically false content can be hard, as the inferences that people draw are heavily influenced by their background knowledge. However, presenting empirically false premises in a fantasy context helps children and adolescents to disregard their beliefs, and to reason on the basis of the premises. The aim of the present experiments was to see if high-functioning adolescents with autism are able to utilize fantasy context to the same extent as typically developing adolescents when they reason about empirically false premises. The results indicate that problems with engaging in pretence in autism persist into adolescence, and this hinders the ability of autistic individuals to disregard their beliefs when empirical knowledge is irrelevant.
