PPVT: Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test; ADOS: Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule; KSPT: Kaufman Speech Praxis: Test for Children.

a

FN−/NN−: familiar–novel fail/novel–novel fail; FN+/NN−: familiar–novel pass/novel–novel fail FN+/NN+: familiar–novel pass/novel–novel pass.

b

One-way ANOVA; F-values are reported in the text.

c

FN−/NN−: n = 10; FN+/NN−: n = 6; FN+/NN+: n = 6.

d

Higher scores indicate increased impairment.

+

Post hoc, least-significance-difference pairwise comparisons between contiguous means significant at p ≤.05.
