CRAE
'Improving outcomes for people with autism'
Research
CRAE has a broad, active programme of research including experimental work on social, cognitive and perceptual development in children, adolescents and adults with autism. Insights from this research help us to develop and test different intervention and education approaches to better understand how people with autism learn.
Selected research projects:
- Defining the cognitive phenotype of autism
- The Preschool Autism Communication Trial (PACT)
- British Autism Study of Infant Siblings (BASIS)
- The developing cognitive phenotype of autism: a 3-year follow-up study
- The role of adaptive coding mechanisms in the development of face perception
- Adaptive processes in autism spectrum disorder
- Visual processing in autism

- Social conformity: why do humans and monkeys make weak decisions under social influence
- Autism Education Trust (AET) good practice
- European Science Foundation COST Action: ESSEA – Enhancing the Scientific Study of Early Autism
