Abstract:
The study is designed to compare the interaction between perceptual and predictive processes during word recognition in neurotypical (NT) and autistic (ASD) adults. Specifically, we are focusing on if (and when) participants predict word form features (e.g. phonetic material) while listening to natural language input. Recent theoretical and empirical work suggest that individuals with autism may have impairments in predictive skills (e.g. Sinha et al. 2014). However, we do not know if (and to what degree) such impairments affect lexical prediction during comprehension. To address this question, we use an error detection task in which participants listen to a story with predictable target words (selected based off a prior norming study) that occasionally contain word-form violations. We include two error types: rhymes words, which have a word onset error (e.g. cake vs. zake) and close words, which have an error in the first vowel sound (e.g. cake vs. ceke). By comparing these conditions, we can assess whether ...
