A comparative study of nonverbal MA matched groups of five autistic, five aphasic, five normal and five retarded children was made on an auditory-visual and a visual-visual paired-associate learning task. The results showed that, although the autistic and receptive aphasic children were both unable to associate sounds with their visual counterparts at the same rate as normal children, the aphasic children overcame this deficit at a significantly faster rate than autistic children. This study pinpoints one dysfunction that could subsume the severe verbal comprehension defect in autistic and aphasic children.
对五名自闭症儿童、五名失语症儿童、五名正常儿童和五名智力迟钝儿童组成的非言语心理年龄匹配组，进行了一项关于视听和视-视配对联想学习任务的比较研究。结果表明，尽管自闭症儿童和感受性失语症儿童都无法像正常儿童那样以相同的速度将声音与视觉对应物联系起来，但失语症儿童克服这一缺陷的速度明显快于自闭症儿童。这项研究指出了一种功能障碍，它可能包含自闭症和失语症儿童严重的言语理解缺陷。
