Abstract

BACKGROUND: This project examined the intermodal perception of temporal synchrony in 16 young children (ages 4 to 6 years) with autism compared to a group of children without impairments matched on adaptive age, and a group of children with other developmental disabilities matched on chronological and adaptive age. METHOD: A preferential looking paradigm was used, where participants viewed non-linguistic, simple linguistic or complex linguistic events on two screens displaying identical video tracks, but one offset from the other by 3 seconds, and with the single audio track matched to only one of the displays. RESULTS: As predicted, both comparison groups demonstrated significant non-random preferential looking to violations of temporal synchrony with linguistic and non-linguistic stimuli. However, the group with autism showed an impaired, chance level of responding, except when presented with non-linguistic stimuli. CONCLUSIONS: Several explanations are offered for this apparently autism-specific, language-specific pattern of responding to temporal synchrony, and potential developmental sequelae are discussed.

  • Speech, as a complex multisensory signal, shows a stronger tendency to be differentially affected in ASD compared with non-speech stimuli.

    “Speech, which is an inherently complex multisensory signal, shows a much stronger tendency to be differentially affected in ASD when compared with the processing of non-speech stimuli (Bebko et al., 2006; Mongillo et al., 2008; Stevenson et al., 2014c)”

  • Individuals with autism spectrum disorder do not show the usual gaze preference for synchronous over asynchronous audiovisual presentations.

    “Using eye tracking, researchers have shown that individuals with ASD do not show the typical gaze preference for synchronous over asynchronous audiovisual presentations (Bebko et al., 2006).”

  • For non-speech stimuli, findings are mixed: some studies find no difference between individuals with and without autism spectrum disorder, while others find differences.

    “Results are in less agreement with non-speech stimuli, where some have found no difference between individuals with and without ASD (Bebko et al., 2006; Stevenson et al., 2014c) while others have found differences (de Boer-Schellekens et al., 2013; Foss-Feig et al., 2010; Kwakye et al., 2011).”

  • With speech stimuli, all but one study find multisensory temporal processing differences in autism spectrum disorder.

    “All studies save one (Grossman et al., 2009) agree that multisensory temporal processing differences are seen with speech stimuli (Bebko et al., 2006; de Boer-Schellekens et al., 2013; Grossman et al., 2015; Stevenson et al., 2014c; Woynaroski et al., 2013).”

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.
