This means that individuals with autism can accurately estimate environmental statistics, but their speed of updating internal priors is slower than typically developing individuals. (6/6)
New paper in Autism Research😊Keren Kasten, @norijacoby, and @MeravAhissar's study delves into the difficulty individuals with autism have in synchronizing movements to external events. https://t.co/fGgJMdDBgu (1/6)
This suggests that the impairment in synchronizing with external beats in individuals with autism is due to reduced online error correction rather than elevated internal noise levels. (5/6)
Happy to update: our Autism Research paper published today: "Poor synchronization yet adequate tempo-keeping in adults with autism", Kasten, Jacoby & Ahissar: ASDs' poor synchronization to external beat stems from reduced online error-correction and not higher internal noise .
A recent paper by @neuro_gal@AhissarLab@norijacoby and others (https://t.co/M5DNLrfGjx) found that synchronization of finger-tapping to a metronome is less precise in autistic participants, and that these differences seemed to be due to reduced correction of timing errors.

These observations suggest that the huge task-specific enhancement of WM capacity stems from a task-specific switch to perceptual routines, implemented in perceptual regions. 6/7
