Private speech, cognitive-computational control, and the autism-psychosis continuum.
June 28th, 2008 | by admin |Private speech, cognitive-computational control, and the autism-psychosis continuum.
Autism and psychosis manifest private speech disruptions analogous to their diametrical opposition along the autism-psychosis continuum. Autism has naturally suppressed private speech with predictable structural deficits when it does surface; psychosis has overt but ineffectual private speech with similar structural deficits. These private speech oppositions are best understood in the context of the control processes of cognitive-computational architectures.
