Journal Article
Poole, D., Grange, J. A., & Milne, E. (2024). Putting the Spotlight Back Onto the Flanker Task in Autism: Autistic Adults Show Increased Interference from Foils Compared with Non-autistic Adults. Journal of Cognition, 7(1), 46. https://doi.org/10.5334/joc.369

Autistic people may have a less focused spotlight of spatial selective attention than non-autistic people, meaning that distracting stimuli are less effectively suppressed. Previous studies using the flanker task have supported this suggestion with o...
