Abstract

|
This study is conducted to compare an inferential ability of High-Functioning Autistic disorders with adolescent(HFA) and typically developing children(TC), and which are factors correlated an inferential ability of HFA. This study also qualitatively analyzed HFA’s error responses to inferencing question to investigate of inferencing breakdown. HFA(n=10) and TC(n=10) who matched with langugae age(LA) conducted an inferential task, a syntax comprehension task, a Letter-Number Sequencing task. An inferential ability of HFA is lower than TC and a syntax comprehension task and a Letter-Number Sequencing task, as one of working memory are correlated with an inferential task. HFA showed ‘wrong inference’ and ‘odd response’ in an analysis of error responses and it suggest that HFA can perform inferential task but they can’t integrate information to make right inference.
