What did Frith (2012) point out regarding the ability to self-correct during tasks?
It is dependent on the ability to explicitly register a mistake.
It is only present in children with autism spectrum disorder.
It is not dependent on the ability to explicitly register a mistake.
It is a result of direct teaching and learning.
