abstract = {In conversation, speakers typically draw attention to items
that are meant to be informative by pronouncing the words
referring to these items in a particular way. These words
have a distinct intonation, and are accented—typically
involving a rise or fall in vocal pitch on the stressed
syllable. Listeners use this information to know which part
of the sentence is new, and therefore worthy of attention.
In a perception study, adults with Asperger syndrome (AS)
and a group of control persons were instructed to rate the
informativeness of words, based on how they sounded. The AS
group showed a reduced sensitivity to intonation and
subsequently based their judgement less on the way the word
was pronounced and more on word frequency and semantic
features of the words themselves. This finding is in
concordance with a general reduced sensitivity to non-verbal
cues in social encounters and to a propensity towards
literal interpretation in the group of persons with AS.},
