Résumé

Resume Alors que des difficultes de flexibilite cognitive sont frequemment signalees chez les personnes autistes, les incoherences dans les resultats incitent a approfondir l'etude des facteurs influencant cette flexibilite. Nous suggerons que des aspects propres au cerveau predictif chez les personnes autistes pourraient contribuer a ces difficultes, avec des variations possibles selon le sexe. Notre etude visait a tester ces hypotheses en examinant la flexibilite cognitive dans differentes conditions de predictibilite au sein d'un echantillon comprenant un nombre similaire d'hommes et de femmes. Nous avons mene une etude en ligne aupres de 263 adultes (dont 127 ayant un diagnostic d'autisme), dans laquelle les participants ont realise une tache de flexibilite sous des niveaux variables de predictibilite (imprevisible, moderement previsible et previsible). Nos resultats indiquent qu'a mesure que la predictibilite de la tache augmente, les performances s'ameliorent ; toutefois, l'ecart de temps de reponse entre les personnes autistes et non autistes s'elargit egalement. De plus, nous observons des differences significatives entre les hommes et les femmes autistes, qui different de celles observees chez les personnes non autistes, soulignant la necessite de prendre en compte les differences entre les sexes dans les recherches relatives a la cognition des personnes autistes. Dans l'ensemble, nos resultats contribuent a une meilleure comprehension de la flexibilite cognitive et des differences entre les sexes dans l'autisme a la lumiere des theories du cerveau predictif et suggerent des pistes pour de futures recherches.

Abstract While cognitive flexibility challenges are frequently reported in autistic individuals, inconsistencies in the findings prompt further investigation into the factors influencing this flexibility. We suggest that unique aspects of the predictive brain in autistic individuals might contribute to these challenges, potentially varying by sex. Our study aimed to test these hypotheses by examining cognitive flexibility under different predictability conditions in a sample including a similar number of males and females. We conducted an online study with 263 adults (127 with an autism diagnosis), where participants completed a flexibility task under varying levels of predictability (unpredictable, moderately predictable, and predictable). Our results indicate that as task predictability increases, performance improves; however, the response time gap between autistic and non‐autistic individuals also widens. Moreover, we observe significant differences between autistic males and females, which differ from non‐autistic individuals, highlighting the need to consider sex differences in research related to the cognition of autistic individuals. Overall, our findings contribute to a better understanding of cognitive flexibility and sex differences in autism in light of predictive brain theories and suggest avenues for further research.
