Baron Cohen Aims - answer - To test whether a group of adults wirh
AS / HFA would be impaired on the R-ET & measures of autistic traits
- To investigate if there were sex differences on those without
autism on this task
- To test a group of adults with AS / HFA in order to check if the
same deficit had been found in the original test & related tests
could be replicated
- To test if in a sample of normal adults an inverse correlation could
be found w/ performance on the test & the Autism Spectrum
quotient (AQ)
• AQ measures degree to which any person w/ a normal IQ
possesses autistic traits
- To see if sex difference (female superiority) found on the OG
version of the test could be replicated
Baron Cohen - answer - AS/HFA group would score way lower on the
eye test but be able to judge the gender
- AS/HFA group would score way higher in the AQ
- Females in "normal" group (2 & 3) would score higher than females
in the AQ
- Males in normal group (3) would score higher than females on the
AQ
- Scores on the AQ and Eyes Test would be inversely correlated
