“…Instead, it may be that, in the context of ASC, language itself as an essential social-communicative tool mediates certain social-cognitive abilities, and is of relevance in neurocognitive models of ASC for this reason ( Hinzen, 2022 ; Hinzen et al, 2020 ). Recent evidence that training in the domain of embedded clauses can improve ToM capacities ( Durrleman et al, 2019 ) is a further pointer in this direction: language and cognitive domains traditionally viewed as non-linguistic may be closely linked, and potentially share a cognitive substrate ( Schroeder et al, 2021 ). The same may apply to referential functions.…”

“…Cataloguing syntactic construction types by their functionality may prove a better strategy for grouping construction types in that their functionality may inform the cognitive processes involved. For example, in the syntactic domain of clauses, virtually any clause embedded as an argument specifies the content of a mental state or speech act (e.g., The frogs thought they could fly ), constituting an immediate link between syntax and ToM that could test a ToM-based neurocognitive model of language functioning in ASC, as independently motivated by experimental evidence between argument clauses and ToM capacities ( Polyanskaya et al, 2022 ; Schroeder et al, 2021 ). On the other hand, relative clauses (e.g., The frogs that could fly ) are adjuncts grammatically, which add descriptive specificity to referential NPs, while (non-relative) clauses adjoined to superordinate clauses (e.g., While they were flying , they saw a lady ; They dropped down in order to rest ) relate events to each other, specifying e.g., temporal or causal relations between them.…”

“…For example, a meta-analysis summarizing 104 studies with 8891 typically-developing children found a significant correlation between ToM and language (Milligan et al, 2007), encompassing many aspects of language, various types of ToM tasks, and different ages. The association also emerges in clinical samples, including deaf and autistic children (e.g., Schroeder et al, 2021;Yu et al, 2021).…”

“…This is so even when the same question arises for all of the specific cognitive domains separately as well (e.g. the role of language in ToM; see Schroeder et al 2021).…”

“…[8] The most promising of these is ToM, yet there is no evidence that ToM in its human form is independent of a language capacity, particularly if a cultural origin of ToM is posited(Heyes et al 2020), and given pervasive evidence for its correlation with language capacities in humans(Farrar et al 2017;Schroeder et al 2021). …”
