N2 - Objectives: Three studies investigated whether typically developing (TD) children, children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) and children with other developmental disorders (DD) use social and associative cues to help them learnwords.Method: Children (TD, N = 25; ASD, N = 24; DD, N = 14) viewed videos of a speaker naming an object while gazing and pointing (social video), an arrow or light highlighted the object (associative video) or a social and associative cue occurred towards different objects (conflicting video).Results: Children with ASD used gaze at a later age than TD children. All children chose at chance with the conflicting video.Conclusions: Word learning from social cues is delayed in ASD. Theoretical implications are discussed.
