Product Description:

The purpose of this study was to examine differences in Imitative Synchronicity (IS; the ability to imitate the quality of others? actions) in children with and without autism, and to investigate the relationship between IS and social communication functioning. Participants were 111 children, aged 4 to 8 years, participating in a longitudinal study of child development beginning in infancy. The ASD group was significantly less likely than the non-ASD group to match the quality of the examiner?s actions. Consistent with previous research, children with HFA demonstrated IS impairments as compared with children without ASD. Contrary to other studies, nonverbal IQ was not related to IS in either group of children
