Abstract We investigated the nature of sensory integration deficits in postural control of young adults with ASD. Postural control was assessed in a fixed environment, and in three environments in which sensory information about body sway from visual, proprioceptive or both channels w...

Sensory integration theory and intervention techniques were originally developed by A. Jean Ayres, PhD, OTR, beginning in the late 1960s. Her pioneering work integrated scientific information from neuroscience, psychology, occupational therapy, and human development in an effort to help explain the relationship among experience, brain development, and function. Ayres’s theory of sensory integra...

Sensory integration is a theory that suggests that many of the characteristics of autism are caused by poor integration of sensory experiences. Conceptualized in behavioral terms, sensory integration therapy could serve to abolish automatically reinforced behavior. The purpose of this research was to investigate sensory integration as a treatment for repetitive behavior in individuals with auti...

Perception is strongly influenced by expectations. Accordingly, perception has sometimes been cast as a process of inference, whereby sensory inputs are combined with prior knowledge. However, despite a wealth of behavioral literature supporting an account of perception as probabilistic inference, the neural mechanisms underlying this process remain largely unknown. One important question is wh...
