Series: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 30 (5) 2000: 497-502.Publisher: 2000Content type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volume Subject(s): AUTISM | COGNITIVE PROCESSES | COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENTSummary: This article reviews a few key ideas about the representation of information in neural networks and uses these ideas to address one aspect of autism, namely, the apparent hyperspecificity that is often seen in autistic children's application of previously acquired information. Hyperspecificity is seen as reflecting a possible feature of the neural codes used to represent concepts in the autistic brain. [AJ].
