Surprise-related slowing (a) Easy-predictable condition. Data represent the difference between the mean reaction time (RT) for the unpredictable conditions and RT for surprising (orange) and unsurprising (green) trials. RT was significantly greater for surprising compared to unsurprising trials. (b) Difficult-predictable condition. There was no difference in RT between surprising and unsurprising trials in the difficult condition. No differences between the ASD and control group were observed in either condition. Data points indicate individual participants. The mean is the thick black horizontal line and 1 standard error of the mean (SEM) is represented by the shaded box around the mean. Standard deviation (SD) is the shaded region.
