Figure 2: Mean raw scores on the Benton Face Recognition Task (Benton et al., 1983). A restricted sample (n=18) of the TD group is depicted here, to achieve an approximate match for chronological age with the disorder groups. TD = typically developing group (mean CA=8;5); HFA = high-functioning autism (8;5); LFA = low-functioning autism (8;6), DS = Down syndrome (9;7); WS = Williams syndrome (8;9).
