We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Pragmatic Deficits in Autism:Failure to Process Context? @ University of California Davis
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the proposed research is to better understand the nature of pragmatic impairments in autism by employing experimental methods from psycholinguistics. This application aims to clarify what types of contextual information are considered in the real-time language processing of individuals with autism. By doing so, the predictions of two accounts of autism, a primary deficit in Theory of Mind (Baron-Cohen, 1995) and Weak Central Coherence theory (Frith, 1989) can be evaluated. ToM predicts that individuals with autism should have difficulties using language when this depends on understanding another's perspective and communicative intent, while WCC predicts that they will have difficulty when any type of contextual information is important for interpretation. A second aim is to examine real-time language processing in individuals with autism, by the use of eye movement methodology to analyze participants' eye movements during spoken language interpretation. These studies will offer a window into reasoning processes in autism in general, and empirical evaluation of the predictions of ToM and WCC for the domain of pragmatics. This research may also provide a basis for effective communicative strategies for individuals with autism.
