This poster presents findings from three experiments on auditory attention and distraction in autism. Although it has been known for a long time that autistic and neurotypical individuals differ in the processing of auditory information, the specifics and underlying causes for these differences are still unclear. To contribute to a more comprehensive understanding, we explored how autistic and neurotypical individuals process and respond to irrelevant auditory information using three different well-established experimental designs. In Experiment 1, we focused on three classic types of auditory distractor sequences, (1) steady state sequences, (2) changing state sequences, and (3) auditory deviant sequences. In Experiment 2, we were interested in the disruptive effect of single-channel and multi-talker speech and that of distractor intensity. In Experiment 3, we looked at shadowing errors and name detection in the irrelevant message during a selective listening task. Overall, we found that autistic and neurotypical individuals are surprisingly similar in how they process and respond to irrelevant auditory information. Auditory attention and distraction was also not related to individual differences in the autism spectrum quotient in all three experiments. The data and materials from all three experiments are publicly available. We look forward to seeing you at our poster.
