2. Understanding the Symbolic nature of pictures in children with autism.
Research Summary Prepared By: Kristen McFee
Using a ‘hide and seek’ game, this study looked at a) whether children with autism were able to understand that pictures represent objects and b) whether this information is used to organize searching behavior. Children with autism's symbols understanding was comparable to typically developing children.
