• Dissociation between cognitive and affective empathy in youth with Asperger Syndrome (2015, background): “deficit (Smith, 2009), with findings suggesting that it is far from straightforward (Rogers, Dziobeck, Hassenstab, Wolf, & Convit, 2007; Smith, 2009).”
• Mind Perception Is the Essence of Morality (2012, background): “Perceptions of mind in other targets were otherwise unchanged, and there was no link between autism and perceptions of experience, which may account for why emotional empathy often remains intact despite difficulty with cognitive perspective taking (Blair, 2005; Smith, 2009).”
