Wada, Makoto; Umesawa, Yumi; Sano, Misako; Tajima, Seiki; Kumagaya, Shinichiro; Miyazaki, Makoto – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Previous psychophysical studies reported a positive aftereffect in tactile temporal order judgments, which can be explained by the Bayesian estimation model ('Bayesian calibration'). We investigated the relationship between Bayesian calibration and autistic traits in participants with typical development (TD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).…

Laurie-Anne Sapey-Triomphe; Gaëtan Sanchez; Marie-Anne Hénaff; Sandrine Sonié; Christina Schmitz; Jérémie Mattout – npj Science of Learning, 2023
Predictive coding theories suggest that core symptoms in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) may stem from atypical mechanisms of perceptual inference (i.e., inferring the hidden causes of sensations). Specifically, there would be an imbalance in the precision or weight ascribed to sensory inputs relative to prior expectations. Using three tactile…

Heled, Eyal; Ohayon, Maayan – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2021
Studies examining visuospatial working memory (WM) in individuals with congenital deafness have yielded inconsistent results, and tactile WM has rarely been examined. The current study examined WM span tasks in the two modalities among 20 individuals with congenital deafness and 20 participants with typical hearing. The congenital deafness group…

Weiss, Staci Meredith; Marshall, Peter J. – Developmental Science, 2023
The development of the ability to anticipate--as manifested by preparatory actions and neural activation related to the expectation of an upcoming stimulus--may play a key role in the ontogeny of cognitive skills more broadly. This preregistered study examined anticipatory brain potentials and behavioral responses (reaction time; RT) to…

Ozakin, Alev Senem; Xi, Xiaotong; Li, Peng; Prieto, Pilar – Language Learning and Development, 2023
The present study investigates whether training second language pronunciation with tactile cues facilitates the production of non-native sounds involving accessible articulatory features. In a between-subjects experiment with a pretest-training-posttest design, 50 Turkish learners of English received audiovisual training on a set of target words…

Narayanan, Sareesh Naduvil; Merghani, Tarig Hakim – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Among the various systems taught in the preclinical phases, the nervous system is more challenging to learn than other systems. In this report, a novel teaching methodology, "real-life scenario (RLS) blended teaching," is described and its effectiveness in facilitating inquisitive learning in undergraduate medical students is evaluated.…
