Note. Measures on which relevant groups are matched: age in months for ALI, ALN and WS; KBIT Matrices raw score for ALI and ALI TD, and ALN and ALN TD, and KBIT Matrices raw and standard scores for ALI and WS. ALI = Autism Language Impaired; ALN = Autism Language Normal; TD = typically developing controls; WS = Williams syndrome; RS = raw score; SS = standard score.
