Journal Article

We report that motion coherence thresholds in children with autism are significantly higher than in matched controls. No corresponding difference in form coherence thresholds was found. We interpret this as a specific deficit in dorsal stream functio... Read More about Motion processing in autism: evidence for a dorsal stream deficiency.

Adaptive modelling and mindreading (1999)
Journal Article
Peterson, D. M., & Riggs, K. J. (1999). Adaptive modelling and mindreading. Mind & language, 14(1), 80-112. https://doi.org/10.1111/1468-0017.00104

This paper sets out to give sufficient detail to the notion of mental simulation to allow an appraisal of its contribution to 'mindreading' in the context of the 'false-belief tasks' used in developmental psychology. We first describe the reasoning s... Read More about Adaptive modelling and mindreading.

Are errors in false belief tasks symptomatic of a broader difficulty with counterfactuality? (1998)
Journal Article
Riggs, K. J., Peterson, D. M., Robinson, E. J., & Mitchell, P. (1998). Are errors in false belief tasks symptomatic of a broader difficulty with counterfactuality?. Cognitive Development, 13(1), 73-90. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0885-2014%2898%2990021-1

When children acknowledge false belief they are handling a counterfactual situation. In three experiments 3-and 4-year-old children were given false belief tasks and physical state tasks which required similar handling of counterfactual situations bu...

Children's memory for drawings based on a false belief (1996)
Journal Article
Robinson, E. J., Riggs, K. J., & Samuel, J. (1996). Children's memory for drawings based on a false belief. Developmental Psychology, 32(6), 1056-1064. https://doi.org/10.1037/0012-1649.32.6.1056

In 3 studies, preschool children drew or saw another person draw what they wrongly thought were the contents of a box, saw the true contents, and then were asked what had been drawn and what they (or the other person) had thought was in the box. Chil... Read More about Children's memory for drawings based on a false belief.

Children’s memory for actions based on a false belief (1995)
Journal Article

In four investigations, 3- and 4-year-olds were asked to recall their own or another person′s actions, as well as acknowledge the false belief upon which the action was based. Recalling that somebody else went to a wrong location was easier than ackn... Read More about Children’s memory for actions based on a false belief.
