Abstract:Face processing relies on predictive processes driven by low spatial frequencies (LSF) that convey coarse information prior to fine information conveyed by high spatial frequencies. However, autistic individuals might have atypical predictive processes, contributing to facial processing difficulties. This may be more normalized in autistic females, who often exhibit better socio‐communicational abilities than males. We hypothesized that autistic females would display a more typical coarse‐to‐fine processing fo… Show more
