- The study explores how individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) perceive and judge faces, which is crucial for social interactions.
- It compares the facial judgment abilities of those with ASD to a control group, focusing on their ability to assess "kindness" in both photographic and synthetic face stimuli.
- While the ASD group showed atypical judgments in photographs, both groups performed similarly with synthetic faces regardless of the amount of perceptual cues, suggesting a need for further research into how different types of face stimuli impact social judgment in ASD.

Word-learning abilities were evaluated with a task involving the learning of two phonetically similar words for two different objects. Overall, children with WS were able to process fine phonetic details while establishing new word-object links.
