• Functional connectivity in an fMRI working memory task in high-functioning autism (2005, background): “…Design and Object Assembly subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale (WAIS) (e.g., Frith, 1989; Shah and Frith, 1983), perceptual learning tasks (Plaisted et al., 1998a), visual search tasks (O’Riordan et al., 2001; Plaisted et al., 1998b), and global precedence tasks (Plaisted et al., 1999).”
• The Weak Coherence Account: Detail-focused Cognitive Style in Autism Spectrum Disorders (2006, background): “This is thought to underlie the pattern of superior visual search (Plaisted et al., 1998a; O’Riordan et al., 2001), superior discrimination learning of highly confusable patterns (Plaisted et al.”
• Enhanced Perceptual Functioning in Autism: An Update, and Eight Principles of Autistic Perception (2006, background): “1 & 2), diminished influence of increasing number of distracters in visual search tasks (O’Riordan et al., 2001), and diminished local-to-local interference to visual (Mottron, Burack, Iarocci, Belleville, & Enns, 2003) and auditory (Foxton et al.”
• Relax! Cognitive strategy influences visual search (2006, result): “This prediction is supported by findings showing that children with autism, who are known to have deficits in executive control, perform difficult visual search tasks more efficiently than normally developing children (O'Riordan, Plaisted, Driver, & Baron-Cohen, 2001 ).”
• Talent in autism: hyper-systemizing, hyper-attention to detail and sensory hypersensitivity (2009, background): “Excellent attention to detail in autism has been repeatedly demonstrated (Shah & Frith 1983, 1993; Jolliffe & Baron-Cohen 2001; O’Riordan et al. 2001; Mottron et al. 2003).”
• Visuo‐spatial abilities in autism: A review (2004, methodology): “were devised by Navon (1977) and have Stroop-like properties.”
• Vision in autism spectrum disorders. (2009, background): “They found, similar to O’Riordan et al. (2001), that visual search performance was better for both feature and conjunction search in their group of children with autism than in their developmental-age-matched control group.”
