A behavioural and electroencephalographic study of autistic children

TL;DR: A positive relationship was found between use of spoken language and successful performance of the task and no child was negativistic, but a subsequent exact replication of the Cowan et al. method failed to produce any negativism.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assemble a group of established investigators and trainees to review key advances and anticipated developments in neuroscience research across five modalities most commonly employed in autism research: magnetic resonance imaging, functional near infrared spectroscopy, positron emission tomography, electroencephalography, and transcranial magnetic stimulation.

TL;DR: An experiment was described in which slow potential responses of five autistic children and five age-matched normal controls were elicited and DC responses of autistic subjects did not vary with the content of the pictures.

TL;DR: It seems justified to state that the specificity of early infantile autism is now rather commonly accepted, with some differences, however, in diagnostic allocation.

TL;DR: In this article, six children, classified as autistic and showing marked stereotyped movements, were observed in four environments of increasing complexity and found that stereotypies increased with environmental complexity, except where there was intervention from the adult.
