Predictive coding and attention in developmental cognitive neuroscience and perspectives for neurodevelopmental disorders
Open accessAbstract
Sensory prediction and repetition suppression are closely related cognitive mechanisms that allow the brain to form predictions about the environment, and guide perception in synergy with attention. Predictive coding is a theory of the fundamental role of predictive mechanisms in brain functions. Authors have proposed a central role of predictive impairments in autism and possibly other neurodevelopmental disorders. However, little is known about predictive mechanisms in typical development, and how they co-develop with attention. Here we review experimental support for predictive coding and its links with attention in healthy adults' brains, the first experimental works performed in typically developing children and infants, and theoretical accounts of neurodevelopmental disorders using a predictive coding framework. We propose future directions for predictive coding research in development. Finally, we describe the first predictive coding experiments in neonates and provide research perspectives for using this framework in searching for early markers of atypical neurodevelopment.

No theoretical model of ADHD focuses on predictive coding explicitly.
“While, in contrast to ASD research, no theoretical model of ADHD focuses on predictive coding explicitly (Marais & Roche-Labarbe, 2025)”
From Are prediction error modifications domain specific in autism but domain general in ADHD? (2025) · cites this paper as Marais & Roche-Labarbe, 2025
In the “Predictive coding and ADHD” section, the paper says that no strong theoretical proposition has been made about prediction in other neurodevelopmental disorders, supporting the contrast with ASD. But it also discusses proposed predictive-coding explanations for ADHD symptoms, so it does not establish the categorical claim that no ADHD model focuses on predictive coding explicitly.

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.
