Precise minds in uncertain worlds: predictive coding in autism. (2014, methodology): “Mottron et al. (2006) and Mottron et al. (2013) emphasized the putative role of enhanced feed-forward low-level perception and suggested that individuals with ASD have a developmental predisposition to “veridical mapping” of data and information.”
Pattern separation: a common function for new neurons in hippocampus and olfactory bulb (2011, background): “However, two studies have shown a role for adult-born granule cells in olfactory discrimination (Moreno et al., 2009; Mouret et al., 2009).”
Cognitive theories of autism (2007, background): “Zelazo, Jacques, Burack, and Frye (2002) found evidence to support CCC theory in an autistic sample.”
A Behavioral Comparison of Male and Female Adults with High Functioning Autism Spectrum Conditions (2011, neutral): “Indeed, the idiosyncratic sensory and perceptual characteristics of ASC have led to hypotheses about difficulties in multisensory integration [68], enhanced perceptual functioning [69], and the ‘‘intense world hypothesis of autism’’ [70].”
Autistics speak but are they heard (2013, neutral): “While there are indications (Baron-Cohen et al., 2009; Mottron et al., 2006), that this is beginning to change - and that an appreciation of autism as involving a range of potential strengths and limitations is emerging - the view that still dominates mainstream research is that of autism as consist”
Improving research about us, with us: a draft framework for inclusive autism research (2017, background): “…enhanced perceptual functioning theory of autism, and Wenn Lawson’s work on the monotropism hypothesis with Dinah Murray and Mike Lesser, are notable for indicating the importance of collaboration between autistic and non-autistic academics (Mottron et al. 2006; Murray, Lesser, and Lawson 2005).”
Thinking in Pictures as a Cognitive Account of Autism (2011, background): “However, within consideration of the visual modality, there seems to be significant overlap between these accounts, especially in that both TiP and EPF propose ‘‘a successful, problem-solving use of perceptual [brain] areas’’ (Mottron et al. 2006).”
Neural bases of eye and gaze processing: the core of social cognition. (2009, neutral): “In contrast to controls who process faces mainly configurally, ASD individuals rely preferentially on features to process faces (Frith, 1989; Mottron and Burack, 2001; Mottron et al., 2006; Senju et al., 2008).”
Vision in autism spectrum disorders. (2009, methodology): “Arguably the key theoretical battleground in ASD research at the moment lies between those who favour a ‘‘social orienting” theory of ASD development (e.g. Schultz, 2005) and those who favour a more bottom-up theory (e.g. Mottron et al., 2006).”
When the world becomes 'too real': a Bayesian explanation of autistic perception. (2012, background): “fundamental differences in sensation and perception [5-10].”
