Fig. 3.
Significant correlations between cortical responses and language indices. Children with ASD showed significant correlations between P1′ latency in background noise and core and receptive language scores (gray triangles on right panel plots; r ≥ − 0.57, p ≤ 0.02, all comparisons). TD children did not show these relationships (black circles on left panel plots). Similar patterns were identified between P1′ latency in quiet and background noise and mental ability scores for children with ASD (data not shown)
