The following files have been archived:
File name	Description	
Autism_fast_mapping_experiment1.csv	CSV file containing a dataset generated by an experimental psychology study conducted in 2017-18. The study investigates fast mapping, retention, and generalisation of novel words in children with autism and typical development.  This file contains data for Experiment 1.
