EEG slope measure extracted for inclusion in the joint model. Violin plots showing the kernel probability density for the EEG slope measure extracted for inclusion in the joint model for each group (typically developing: grey; autistic: orange) for each difficulty level. The coloured ‘violins’ reflect the distribution of each group’s data points. The extracted measure was the slope of a linear regression line fitted to each participant’s deconvolved (with regularisation) response-locked waveform, from 200 ms prior to the response to the point of the response (i.e., 0 ms; see shaded area of schematic response-locked waveform in inset). The dotted line reflects a flat slope. Dots and vertical lines represent the group mean and ± 1 SEM.
