The Relation Between General Cognitive Level and Adaptive Behavior Domains in Individuals with Autism with and Without Co-Morbid Mental Retardation
Abstract
This study examined the association between adaptive behavior and general cognitive level in individuals with autism or PDD-NOS with and without comorbid mental retardation. Data from the screening version of the Vineland Adaptive Scales and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales were analysed in a sample of 67 subjects. While in the higher functioning individuals (IQ > 70, n = 34) IQ and adaptive behavior level differed significantly, performances were fairly comparable in subjects showing lower cognitive functioning (IQ < 70, n = 33). Regression models revealed a higher correlation between IQ and single adaptive behavior domains in the non-mentally retarded participants, with the domain Communication reaching the highest predictive power of the single adaptive behavior areas. Findings indicate, the relationship between adaptive and cognitive function in autistic disorders is mediated by the presence of a qualitative reduction of intelligence. Methodological limitations of the study are discussed.

Research has demonstrated a positive relation between IQ and measures of adaptive behavior.

IQ is more predictive of adaptive behavior in ASD with intellectual disability than in high-functioning ASD.
“IQ is more predictive of adaptive behavior in ASD with intellectual disability (e.g., Liss et al., 2001; Bolte & Poustka, 2002), than in those who are high functioning (Bolte & Poustka, 2002; Freeman, Del’Homme, Guthrie, & Zhang, 1999; Liss et al., 2001; Volkmar et al., 1987; Kenworthy et al., 2005).”

In ASD, adaptive abilities are consistently impaired in most or all domains, particularly socialization skills.
“In ASD individuals, those abilities are consistently impaired in most, if not all domains, but particularly in socialization skills (Bolte & Poustka, 2002; Carter et al., 1998; Kenworthy, Case, Harms, Martin, & Wallace, 2010).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
