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. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… (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)

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)

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 (nature.com/articles/s41467-0…) 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
