Inner Speech: Development, Cognitive Functions, Phenomenology, and Neurobiology (2015, background): “This, however, was not supported in a reanalysis of the Williams et al. (2008) data by Williams and Jarrold (2010), who found verbal ability to be the strongest predictor of inner speech use, rather than the relative levels of verbal and nonverbal skills.”
Inner speech is used to mediate short-term memory, but not planning, among intellectually high-functioning adults with autism spectrum disorder (2012, methodology): “This result replicates that of Williams et al. (2008) and arguably confirms their suggestion that individuals with ASD are typical in employing inner speech as a means of retaining information in short-term memory.”
Thinking in Pictures as a Cognitive Account of Autism (2011, unknown): “Bennetto et al. (1996), Joseph et al. (2005), Minshew and Goldstein (2001), Minshew et al. (1992, 1997), O’Connor and Hermelin (1967), Ozonoff and Strayer (2001), Russell et al. (1996), Whitehouse et al. (2006), and Williams et al. (2005, 2006, 2008) .”
Brief Report: Inner Speech Impairment in Children with Autism is Associated with Greater Nonverbal than Verbal Skills (2009, unknown): “For example, the two other experiments in Whitehouse et al. (2006) indicated that CWA are less likely than controls to use inner speech to remember pictures, whereas Williams et al. (2008) report a study in which no such difference was found.”
Do children with autism use inner speech and visuospatial resources for the service of executive control? Evidence from suppression in dual tasks. (2010, background): “, 2006) but clear phonological similarity effect (Williams et al., 2008).”
Brief Report: Further Evidence for Inner Speech Deficits in Autism Spectrum Disorders (2009, unknown): “Finally, numerous tasks have been used to assess inner speech difficulties in autism (including word length [experiment 2 from Whitehouse et al. 2006 ], phonological, and visuospatial similarity [Williams et al. 2008] effects, in addition to AS), resulting in mixed findings—a clearer understanding ”
