Abstract

This study investigated whether autistic adults are more accurate at forming predictions relating to social, as compared to non-social, patterns. Participants were significantly more accurate when they believed a cue to have social agency. Autistic adults can therefore form predictions of social behaviour on the basis of social agency.
