Monitoring in language perception in high-functioning adults with autism spectrum disorder: Evidence from event-related potentials

Highlights • We studied language problems in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in light of monitoring, an aspect of cognitive control, using event-related potentials. • Participants with ASD monitored language in simple and complex conditions, whereas control participants monitored language mainly in c...

Description
Summary:	Highlights • We studied language problems in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in light of monitoring, an aspect of cognitive control, using event-related potentials. • Participants with ASD monitored language in simple and complex conditions, whereas control participants monitored language mainly in complex conditions. • As atypical monitoring might play a role in language impairments in ASD, it seems important to study language perception in ASD in interaction with other cognitive processes rather than as an isolated (in)ability.
