Multisensory speech perception in children with autism spectrum disorders
Open accessAbstract
This study examined unisensory and multisensory speech perception in 8-17 year old children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and typically developing controls matched on chronological age, sex, and IQ. Consonant-vowel syllables were presented in visual only, auditory only, matched audiovisual, and mismatched audiovisual ("McGurk") conditions. Participants with ASD displayed deficits in visual only and matched audiovisual speech perception. Additionally, children with ASD reported a visual influence on heard speech in response to mismatched audiovisual syllables over a wider window of time relative to controls. Correlational analyses revealed associations between multisensory speech perception, communicative characteristics, and responses to sensory stimuli in ASD. Results suggest atypical speech perception is linked to broader behavioral characteristics of ASD.

The finding that individuals with ASD are less likely to report McGurk perceptual fusion has not been universal.
“though this finding has not been universal (Iarocci et al., 2010; Woynaroski et al., 2013)”

In children with autism spectrum disorder, the McGurk effect is less influenced by temporal discrepancies between auditory and visual presentations than in typically developing peers.
“The perception of multisensory illusions such as the McGurk effect (Woynaroski et al., 2013) and the sound-induced flash illusion (Foss-Feig et al., 2010) are less influenced by temporal discrepancies between the auditory and visual presentations in ASD children when compared with their TD peers.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
