Explaining autism spectrum disorders: central coherence vs. predictive coding theories.

ABSTRACT

In this article, we review a recent paper by Stevenson et al. (J Neurosci 34 691-697, 2014). This paper illustrates the need to present different forms of stimuli in order to characterize the perceptual abilities of people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Furthermore, we will discuss their behavioral results and offer an opposing viewpoint to the suggested neuronal drivers of ASD.
