Pitch memory, labelling and disembedding in autismPamela Heaton
Department of Psychology, Goldsmiths College, University of London, New Cross, London, UK
J Child Psychol Psychiatry 44:543-51. 2003..These experiments investigate the extent that enhanced disembedding ability will be found within the musical domain in autism...
Annotation: the savant syndromePamela Heaton
Psychology Department, Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK
J Child Psychol Psychiatry 45:899-911. 2004..Whilst interest has focused on the origin and nature of the savant syndrome for over a century, it is only within the past two decades that empirical group studies have been carried out...
Interval and contour processing in autismPamela Heaton
Department of Psychology, Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK
J Autism Dev Disord 35:787-93. 2005..On the test of contour discrimination no group differences emerged. These findings confirm earlier studies showing facilitated pitch processing and a preserved ability to represent small-scale musical structures in autism...
Beyond perception: musical representation and on-line processing in autismPamela Heaton
Goldsmiths College, University of London, New Cross, London, SE14 6NW, UK
J Autism Dev Disord 37:1355-60. 2007..The findings were interpreted within the context of studies showing weakened sensitivity to verbal/semantic information in autism...
"With concord of sweet sounds...": new perspectives on the diversity of musical experience in autism and other neurodevelopmental conditionsPamela Heaton
Goldsmiths College, University of London Psychology, London, United Kingdom
Ann N Y Acad Sci 1169:318-25. 2009....
Assessing musical skills in autistic children who are not savantsPamela Heaton
Department of Psychology, Goldsmiths College, University of London, New Cross, London SE14 6NW, UK
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 364:1443-7. 2009..Data from empirical studies show that many autistic children possess musical potential that can and should be developed...
Superior discrimination of speech pitch and its relationship to verbal ability in autism spectrum disordersPamela Heaton
Psychology Department, Goldsmith s University of London, New Cross, London, UK
Cogn Neuropsychol 25:771-82. 2008..The implications of these findings for understanding heterogeneity of language ability in ASD are discussed...
Research note: exceptional absolute pitch perception for spoken words in an able adult with autismPamela Heaton
Department of Psychology, Goldsmiths College, University of London, New Cross, London SE14 6NW, United Kingdom
Neuropsychologia 46:2095-8. 2008..The analysis showed that AC's naming of speech pitch was highly superior in comparison to controls. The results suggest that explicit access to perceptual information in speech is retained to a significantly higher degree in autism...
Autism and pitch processing splinter skills: a group and subgroup analysisPamela Heaton
Goldsmiths College, London, UK
Autism 12:203-19. 2008..The findings were interpreted within the context of neuroconstructivist models of typical development and delayed language acquisition characteristic of autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders...

Is the linguistic content of speech less salient than its perceptual features in autism?Anna Järvinen-Pasley
Goldsmiths College, University of London, London, UK
J Autism Dev Disord 38:239-48. 2008..Implications for language acquisition in autism are discussed...

Goldsmiths College, University of London, UK
Dev Sci 11:109-21. 2008..It is additionally proposed that the pattern of results may reflect different patterns of attentional focusing towards single or multiple stimulus cues in speech between children with autism and controls...
