Autism 3 – Central Coherence - Victoria University of Wellington自闭症3–中央连贯性-惠灵顿维多利亚大学
PSYC443 - Autism Central Coherence Dr Jason Low School of Psychology Victoria University of Wellington Limitations to theory of mind EFT deficit based accounts ToM and EF deficits may explain problems in autism But people with autism also show superior performance savant skills in music, maths, art... excellent memory for facts... jigsaw puzzle and other spatial skills... noticing tiny changes, perfect pitch... Current deficit accounts (ToM, EF) can’t explain these Central Coherence In autism, specific imbalance in integration of information at different levels (Frith, 1989) In normal development, we have a tendency to process information in context This contextual processing is missing in autism, so they should be good in tasks that emphasise piece-meal processing Puzzling jigsaws Frith Hermelin (1969) Contrasted performances on two types of jigsaw (jigsaw by shape vs. jigsaw by picture) Autism normal for jigsaw by shape.
