Greater reliance on proprioceptive information during a reaching task with perspective manipulation among children with autism spectrum disorders

Abstract Difficulties with visual perspective-taking among individuals with autism spectrum disorders remain poorly understood. Many studies have presumed that first-person visual input can be mentally transformed to a third-person perspective during visual perspective-taking tasks; however, existin...
