    "abstract": "Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often\nstruggle with making inductive generalizations. Yet for\ntypically developing children, the capacity to make such\ngeneralizations is a hallmark of human learning. This ability\nrequires some understanding of “intuitive statistics” (i.e., the\nunderstanding that there is a relationship between samples\nand populations), which have been previously demonstrated\nto emerge early on in infancy. We hypothesized that the\nchallenges with inductive generalization among the ASD\npopulation may have its roots in weaknesses in probabilistic\nreasoning. In the current study, we gave children with ASD a\nprobability prediction task adapted from the method used with\ninfants in Teglas et al. (2007), and our results over two\nexperiments with two groups (one from the U.S. and one from\nSingapore) suggest that compared with typically developing\nchildren, children with autism may have difficulties in\nengaging in probabilistic reason",
