• Theory of Mind Abilities and Deficits in Autism Spectrum Disorders (2014, background): “Studies that have examined the spontaneous use of ToM have found that adults with HF-ASD do not spontaneously anticipate another person’s actions, even when those adults have passed explicit false-belief tasks with ease (Senju, 2012; Senju et al., 2009).”
• Thinking in Pictures as a Cognitive Account of Autism (2011, background): “autism. However, individuals with autism also show impairments on nonverbal analogues of false-belief tasks such as eye-tracking studies, making this explanation unlikely ( Senju et al. 2009, 2010 ).”
