对高功能自闭症儿童，特别是语言障碍儿童和正常儿童进行单词流利性任务，要求他们提供动物的名称和车辆的名称。根据Uyeda和Mandler(1980)的标准，每个受试者为每个类别提供的样本被赋予典型性评级。与语言障碍儿童或语言匹配的正常人相比，自闭症儿童提供的原型样本较少。结果支持自闭症儿童存在语义加工障碍的观点，这种障碍的部分基础可能在于词汇类别内的组织水平。
High-functioning autistic, specifically language-impaired, and normal children were administered word fluency tasks in which they were required to provide the names of animals and the names of vehicles. The exemplars provided by each subject for each category were assigned prototypicality ratings according to the norms of Uyeda and Mandler (1980). The autistic children provided less prototypic exemplars than did the language-impaired children or language-matched normals. The results support the notion that autistic children have a semantic processing impairment and that part of the basis for this impairment may lie at the level of organization within lexical categories.
