Assessing Prediction Modulation on Narrative Comprehension Across Modalities: Understanding Semantic Processing in ASD
Conference Year
January 2022
Abstract
When examining the neural mechanisms behind narrative comprehension, predictive abilities appear to be at play. Particularly in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), this predictive ability is proposedly different from people who are typically developing (TD). While some literature has examined this predictive ability in the linguistic domain, there remains more to investigate about this in the visual domain. This study explores differences in neural processing in linguistic and visual domains using electroencephalogram studies and predictive measures. This knowledge will help guide the development of future interventions implemented for those with ASD that accounts for this unique processing of narratives.
