对8名患有自闭症的成年人和8名智商匹配的智障(MR)受试者进行了一项任务，该任务涉及理解间接请求。在一种情况下，请求的前面有说明，说明他们的言外之意(我要告诉你给一些圆圈涂上颜色)。在第二种情况下，同样的请求出现在非结构化对话中。尽管MR受试者在两种情况下的表现都更好，但两组儿童的表现都与正常的4至6岁儿童相似。然而，在非结构化条件下，自闭症组的表现显著下降，特别是在需要更多语义处理的句子上。这些发现对理解自闭症和类似个体的语言和社交缺陷的意义进行了讨论。
Eight adults with autistic disorders and 8 IQ-matched, mentally retarded (MR) subjects were given a task involving the comprehension of indirect requests. In one condition, requests were prefaced by instructions making their illocutionary force clear (I'm going to tell you to color some circles). In a second condition, the same requests were presented in an unstructured conversation. Although the performance of the MR subjects was better in both conditions, both groups performed similarly to normal 4- to 6-year-olds. In the unstructured condition, however, the autistic group's performance was significantly depressed, especially on sentences requiring greater semantic processing. The implications of these findings for understanding language and social deficits in autistic and similar individuals are discussed.
