An experimental study of word learning in minimally verbal children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder Open
Background and aims When children hear a novel word, they tend to associate it with a novel rather than a familiar object. The ability to map a novel word to its corresponding referent is thought to depend, at least in part, on language-le…
