| Research Abstract |
Semantic structure in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and patients with schizophrenia was investigated. The analyses of category fluency task (CFT) and quantificational expression task have demonstrated that semantic structure was idiosyncratically formed in children with ASD compared to that of normally developed children. Furthermore, the comparison of semantic structures has revealed that the degradation pattern was similar in children with ASD and patients with schizophrenia. The result suggested that the same mechanism underlay in higher cognitive dysfunction in children with ASD and patients with schizophrenia.
