Temporal stability of semantic predictions in subclinical autistic and schizotypal personality traits.

ABSTRACT: Language impairments are core symptoms of both schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders and have been linked to deficits in predictive language processing. While altered use of semantic predictions have been reported in both conditions, little is known whether semantic predictions are stable over time. The goal of this study was therefore to investigate the temporal stability of semantic prior beliefs focusing on individuals with schizotypal and autistic traits. 115 participants, assessed for subclinical schizotypal (SPQ_5ls; mean = 77.99, SD = 39.31) and autistic traits (AQ; mean = 15.67, SD = 6.01), completed an auditory stability paradigm at two timepoints to investigate the temporal stability of semantic predictions. At timepoint one, consisting of one session, participant
