Exploring Hemispheric Lateralization in Autism: Global vs. Local Processing Trials

DESCRIPTION

Autism is characterized by an enhanced ability to attend to details while struggling to integrate contextual information. This suggests differences in hemispheric processing, particularly in cognitive trials. Our hypotheses indicate that global processing may be right-hemisphere lateralized, while local processing is left-hemisphere lateralized. Furthermore, incongruent trials necessitate response inhibition and engage additional cognitive regions like the frontal cortex. This study aims to provide insight into the neural mechanisms behind these processing differences in individuals with autism.

Presentation Transcript

Autism is characterized in part by:- enhanced (or preserved) ability to attend to local details - impaired ability to integrate the local context. Hypotheses: Global processing trials will be right hemisphere lateralized where as local trials will be lateralized to the left hemisphere Incongruent trials will require response inhibition and recruit more cognitive processing regions (frontal, etc).
Global vs Local Trials: Blue = more left hemisphere activation
Congruent vs Incongruent: Red= congruent, blue= incongruent
