Spatial Frequency Priming of Scene Perception in Adolescents With and Without ASD

Auteurs: Steven Vanmarcke, Ilse Noens, Jean Steyaert, Johan Wagemans

Gepubliceerd in: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders | Uitgave 7/2017

Abstract

While most typically developing (TD) participants have a coarse-to-fine processing style, people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) seem to be less globally and more locally biased when processing visual information. The stimulus-specific spatial frequency content might be directly relevant to determine this temporal hierarchy of visual information processing in people with and without ASD. We implemented a semantic priming task in which (in)congruent coarse and/or fine spatial information preceded target categorization. Our results indicated that adolescents with ASD made more categorization errors than TD adolescents and needed more time to process the prime stimuli. Simultaneously, however, our findings argued for a processing advantage in ASD, when the prime stimulus contains detailed spatial information and presentation time permits explicit visual processing.
