Inhibitory Function in Nonretarded Children with Autism
Abstract
This study examined inhibitory function in nonretarded children with autism (n = 13) and normally developing controls (n = 13) matched on age and IQ. Tasks measuring motor and cognitive components of inhibition were administered to both groups. On the Stop-Signal paradigm, children with autism were able to inhibit motor responses to neutral and prepotent stimuli as well as control subjects. On the Negative Priming task, the groups were equally capable of inhibiting processing of irrelevant distractor stimuli in a visual display. Results suggest that at least two components of inhibition are spared in individuals with autism, standing in contrast to flexibility and other executive deficits that have been found in previous studies. These findings may help distinguish children with autism from those with other neurodevelopmental conditions that involve executive dysfunction.

On tasks that isolate inhibitory processing, individuals with ASD have shown typical levels of performance; when measures of inhibition are paired with other executive components, deficits in inhibitory abilities may be observed.
“On tasks that tend to isolate inhibitory processing from other executive functions, individuals with ASD have shown typical levels of performance (e.g. Ozonoff & Strayer, 1997); although when measures of inhibition are paired with other executive components (e.g. set switching), deficits in inhibitory abilities may be observed in ASD (e.g. Ozonoff, Strayer, McMahon, & Filloux, 1994).”

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.
