Study Summary

This trial is testing whether children with ASD can learn new words by overhearing conversations.

Who is the study for?
This study is for children aged 24 to 71 months who either have Autism Spectrum Disorder or are typically developing. They must have a minimum language and nonverbal cognition age of 24 months, speak English as their native language, and not be born prematurely (<36 weeks). Children with uncorrected hearing or vision issues, photosensitive epilepsy, or other cognitive-impacting conditions besides ASD (except ADHD) cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial investigates if children with ASD can learn verbs and pronouns from overheard conversations compared to typically developing children. It aims to understand how these kids process words that aren't just object labels when they're not directly involved in the conversation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this study involves observational learning without medical interventions, there are no direct side effects associated with drugs or treatments. However, participation may involve typical risks of psychological research such as discomfort from sitting still during sessions.
