To assess the ability of the Complex Social GeoPref test to discriminate toddlers with ASD from other toddlers, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) area under the curve were determined. For consistency...
