Erratum to: J Autism Dev Disord DOI 10.1007/s10803-017-3080-x

The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake. The data in the third column of section “Strange Stories: Physical Mean (& SD)” of Table 3 should be 13.6 (2.1); instead it was incorrectly published as 14.1 (2.1). Also there is an error in the next section of the table. It should be Frith-Happé animations instead of Smith-Happé animations. The corrected Table 3 is given below.

Table 3.

A-ToM: Physical
 Mean (& SD) 7.7 (2.7) 8.2 (2.5)
 95% CIs [7.3, 8.1] [7.7, 8.8]
 Cohen’s d (& 95% CIs) 0.22 [−0.05, 0.48]
Strange Stories: Social
 Mean (& SD) 12.1 (3.0) 14.1 (2.1)
 95% CIs [11.6, 12.5] [13.7, 14.6]
 Cohen’s d (& 95% CIs) 0.76 [0.48, 1.04]
Strange Stories: Physical
 Mean (& SD) 12.1 (3.0) 13.6 (2.1)
 95% CIs [11.7, 12.6] [13.2, 14.1]
 Cohen’s d (& 95% CIs) 0.54 [0.27, 0.81]
Frith-Happé animations
 Random
  Mean (& SD) 3.4 (0.85) 3.5 (0.67)
  95% CIs [3.3, 3.6] [3.4, 3.7]
  Cohen’s d (& 95% CIs) 0.13 [−0.14, 0.39]
 Goal directed
  Mean (& SD) 2.5 (1.0) 2.5 (1.1)
  95% CIs [2.3, 2.6] [2.3, 2.7]
  Cohen’s d (& 95% CIs) 0.06 [−0.21, .33]
 Mental
  Mean (& SD) 2.7 (1.2) 3.1 (1.0)
  95% CIs [2.5, 2.8] [3.0, 3.3]
  Cohen’s d (& 95% CIs) 0.39 [0.13, 0.67]
 Feelings Categorization
  Mean (& SD) 3.7 (2.2) 4.5 (1.9)
  95% CIs [3.4, 4.0] [4.1, 4.9]
  Cohen’s d (& 95% CIs) 0.39 [0.13, 0.67]

The maximum possible scores were 12 (for A-ToM social and physical), 16 (for Strange stories social and physical), 4 (for Frith-Happé animation categorization as random, goal directed and mental), and 8 (for Frith-Happé animation feelings categorization)
