Abstract
Predictive Language Processing is a conversational skill and concerns the speaker's ability to predict the utterance of the interlocutor during a conversation. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) face language deficits, while they often share common language characteristics. The purpose of this study is to assess Predictive Language Processing (PLP) in 25 children with ASD, 25 children with DLD, and 25 typically developing (TD) children. Participants were administered a non-standardized test that evaluates the PLP in order to compare their performance on this ability. Results showed that children with DLD performed lower than the other two groups, while the performance of children with ASD was similar to that of their TD peers. The findings are discussed in the context of specific characteristics that could be criteria for distinguishing the two clinical populations.
