How do Autistic and Neurotypical Children's Interests Influence their Accuracy During Novel Word Learning?

These results show that (1) autistic children responded more accurately than neurotypical children (marginally significant), (2) children with higher 5-minute retention accuracy were significantly more likely to respond correctly on 24-hour retention trials, (3) children who heard more repetitions of the target word at referent selection were significantly more likely to respond correctly after 24 hours, and (4) children with higher referent selection accuracy for individual novel words were significantly more likely to respond correctly at 24-hour retention.
