Performance on the two-alternative forced choice frequency discrimination task. (A) Overall accuracy by group. We did not find a significant group difference in overall performance. Dots represent individual results. Bars represent group averages. Error bars represent SEM. (B) Performance as a function of trial type. Lines represent groups’ averages. Error bar represent SEM. Individuals in LAD and TD groups performed better on Bias + trials, where the consideration of the preceding stimulus improved discrimination, relative to Bias- trials, where the previous stimulus distracts from correct discrimination. Mixed effects model (see Methods) results indicate a significant within group effect of trial type: LAD: F(1,1522) = 6.2, p = 0.01. TD: F(1,1310) = 5.4, p = 0.01. These effects remained significant when controlling for multiple comparisons (Bonferroni correction). There was no significant trial type difference for the ASD group, F(1,1541) = 0.76, p = 0.38.
