This research extends previous research regarding the intellectual functioning of autistic individuals on standardized measures of intelligence (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised). In Study I 33 individuals with autism who closely fit the DSM-III criteria were studied. Clear evidence was found that differentiates these individuals...

AIMS To investigate the association between extreme autistic traits and intellectual disability in children from a community-based sample and to examine whether the association can be explained by genetic factors. METHOD Children scoring in the extreme 5% on measures of auti...

Since the mid 1990s various concepts of intellectual capital reports have been elaborated and their descriptions can be found in both scientific and management literature. Their major task is the attempt to cover intangible assets within an organization or firm and to illustrate the immense resources, which may be used to attain competitive advantages. A major drawback of all presented intellec...

Children with intellectual disability are at increased risk of experiencing poor health relative to their typically developing peers. Previous research indicates that exposure to socio-economic disadvantage contributes towards this disparity but that additional factors (including parenting practices) may be involved in mediating/moderating pathways. This study examined duration of breastfeeding...

Data from a field study of 57 technology firms were used to test relationships among physical, human, and social capital to intellectual capital; intellectual capital, in turn, was linked to firm innovation. The results indicate that a firm’s rate of innovation is a function of the level of intellectual capital, which in turn, is predicted based on the level of physical, human, and social capit...

Innovation is the creation of intellectual assets; intellectual assets are distinguished by nonconvexities. But different nonconvexities affect outcomes differently. Provided knowledge is finitely expansible, nonrivalry causes no difficulties for the existence and expost efficiency of competitive equilibrium. However, the minimum-size indivisibility in creating intellectual assets renders compe...
