“…In young children with autism, a correlation between impaired performance on an EF task (spatial reversal) and an aspect of social communication (joint attention) has been reported (McEvoy, Rogers, & Pennington, 1993). Abstract language processing and discourse behavior are often disrupted in individuals with injuries to the frontal lobes (e.g., Liles, Coelho, Duffy, & Zalagens, 1989;Pearce, McDonald, & Coltheart, 1998), which are key to intact executive function (e.g., Mishkin, 1964;Iversen & Mishkin, 1970;Fuster, 1980;Diamond & Goldman-Rakic, 1989;Shallice, 1982;Milner, 1963Milner, , 1982. Likewise, there is a considerable relationship between prefrontal brain injury and social dysfunction, including theory of mind and social discourse (Anderson, Damasio, Tranel, & Damasio, 2000;Barkely, Grodzinsky, & DuPaul, 1992;Eslinger & Biddle, 2000;Rowe, Bullock, Polkey, & Morris, 2001;Williams & Mateer, 1992).…”

This study examined language and executive functions (EF) in high-functioning school-aged individuals with autism and individually matched controls. Relationships between executive, language, and social functioning were also examined. Participants with autism exhibited difficulty on measures of expressive grammar, figurative language, planning, and spatial working memory. A mixed profile of impaired and enhanced abilities was noted in set-shifting. While controls showed the typical increase in errors when shifting sets from an intra-dimensional to an extra-dimensional stimulus, this pattern was not noted in participants with autism. Relationships between EF, language, and social performance were weak to non-existent. Implications for theories of core deficit in autism and dissociable nature of the language and executive impairments in autism are discussed.

“…Some studies use story grammar, which examines the organization of story components and the logical relationships between characters and story events, to assess narrative quality (Stein & Glenn, 1979;Thorndyke & Yekovich, 1980). A story grammar quantifies narrative organization into prototypical story structures, such as initiating actions toward character goals, attempts to solve problems, and the consequences of those attempts (Liles, Coelho, Duffy, & Zalagens, 1989;Liles, Duffy, Merritt, & Purcell, 1995). Poorly organized narratives provide clues to cognitive, semantic, and pragmatic impairments, and story grammar provides a reliable tool to evaluate such narratives .…”

Purpose: This study examined narrative quality of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using a well-studied "story goodness" coding system. Method: Narrative samples were analyzed for distinct aspects of story goodness and rated by naïve readers on dimensions of story goodness, accuracy, cohesiveness, and oddness. Adolescents with high-functioning ASD were compared with adolescents with typical development (TD; n = 15 per group). A second study compared narratives from adolescents across three groups: ASD, TD, and youths with "optimal outcomes," who were diagnosed with ASD early in development but no longer meet criteria for ASD and have typical behavioral functioning.Results: In both studies, the ASD group's narratives had lower composite quality scores compared with peers with typical development. In Study 2, narratives from the optimal outcomes group were intermediate in scores and did not differ significantly from those of either other group. However, naïve raters were able to detect qualitative narrative differences across groups. Conclusions: Findings indicate that pragmatic deficits in ASD are salient and could have clinical relevance. Furthermore, results indicate subtle differences in pragmatic language skills for individuals with optimal outcomes despite otherwise typical language skills in other domains. These results highlight the need for clinical interventions tailored to the specific deficits of these populations.

“…He noted that the normal control subjects produced complete ties 94 percent of the time while the adults with TBI produced complete ties 90 percent of the time. In addition, a study of individuals with TBI by Liles et al included 23 normal control subjects, aged 18 to 22 years, who produced complete cohesive ties at a rate of 98 percent [25]. While significant literature exists regarding the analysis of cohesion in the narrative discourse in adults following TBI [19,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30], fewer studies have been completed that evaluate the effects of stroke on cohesion in narrative discourse [19,22,[31][32].…”

Abstract-Little is known about the recovery of narrative discourse after stroke. While several studies have analyzed the recovery of language in individuals with aphasia, few known studies exist on the recovery of narrative discourse in stroke survivors, particularly those who have not been diagnosed with aphasia. In this study, we evaluated the cohesiveness of narrative discourse in a cohort of individuals who had suffered a left-hemisphere stroke and had not been diagnosed with expressive language impairment. We analyzed their narrative discourse at 1, 6, and 12 months poststroke. Our findings indicate that, while the mean number of cohesive ties in narrative discourse remained generally constant during the first year poststroke, the percentage correct use of cohesive ties increased significantly during the same time period. These findings suggest that subtle disruptions in expressive language can be present initially in narrative discourse, and recovery from these disruptions can occur naturally over time.
