  • Imitation in fragile X syndrome
    Macedoni-Lukšič, Marta ...
    To address the specific impairment ofimitation in autism, the imitation abilities of 22 children with fragile X syndrome (FXS) with and without autismwere compared. Based on previous research, we ... predicted that children with FXS and autism would have significantly more difficulty with non-meaningful imitation tasks. After controlling for full-scale IQ and age, the group s did not differ in their overall imitation accuracy scores, bu t analysis of error patterns revealed that children with FXS and autism made more groping errors and additional movements than the comparison group. These error patterns are consistent with the hypothesis that an action production system deficit plays an important role in the overall imitation deficit in autism, at least in children with FXS.
