A new study published on arXiv investigates how children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) process complex language structures. Researchers used electroencephalography (ERP) to examine the brain activity of 12 Mandarin-speaking children with ASD and 12 typically developing peers as they parsed recursive possessive sentences. The findings indicate that children with ASD exhibit deficits in early perceptual processing and syntactic reanalysis, suggesting that while their lexical-semantic understanding may be preserved, their ability to compute complex syntax online is significantly impaired.
