Study Summary

This trial is looking to see if children with ASD can learn word meanings from overheard conversations, and if so, what child characteristics are associated with good learning in this situation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 18 to 71 months, with or without Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). They must be native English speakers and not have been born prematurely. Children with uncorrected hearing or vision issues, photosensitive epileptic seizures, or other developmental disorders affecting language/cognition are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study examines how well children with ASD can learn new words from conversations they overhear compared to being directly taught. It will also check if these learned words are remembered after a short time and can be used in different situations.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions like addressed speech and overheard speech rather than medical treatments, there aren't typical side effects as seen in drug trials. However, participants may experience varying levels of engagement or stress.
