Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem [Göd31] and his subsequent work on computable functions [Göd34] exhibited undecidability in the most familiar mathematical settings, even in elementary number theory. Following Gödel, there has been an intensive study of noncomputable sets arising in ordinary mathematics.

At that time I was a young postdoctoral research...

This study examines the independent effects of competition, engagement, and reward on false belief performance in children with autism. Twenty-eight 8to 15-year-olds (mean age = 12 years) with autism were tested on a modified version of the Sally–Anne task and the Dot–Midge task in Experiment 1. In Experiment 2 we recruited thirty 8to 16-year-olds (mean age = 12 years) with autism who were test...
