It was found that the children’s group could predict children’s co operative both in the PDG and during the interruption period of the implement task: the children with HFA cooperated less than the TD children./// Moreover, the influence of central coherence on cooperation by the HFA and TD children was examined separately for each group. ///The regression equations relating both the HFA and TD children’s scores on the EFT to cooperation in the PDG were not significant. /// This suggests that central coherence abilities cannot predict children’s cooperation in the PDG./// However, the HFA children’s scores on the EFT marginally negatively predicted cooperation during the interruption periods of the implement task, with high scores associated with weaker central coherence abilities. ///Thus, the children with HFA performed less
cooperatively during the interruption period of the implement task.
