SVT Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Social Value LearningExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
For each child, two faces, randomly selected from the pool of four faces, will be assigned the high-value (HV) status and the other two the low-value (LV) status. Value status will be randomized between the faces and children and all four faces will have the same probability of being assigned HV or LV across all participants. A gaze fixation on a HV face will always activate a dynamic display and the face will smile brightly. A gaze fixation on a LV face will always result in no change to its display. Effects of training will be tested one day (efficacy) and one month (maintenance) after training. During each of the follow-up assessments, each child will first undergo the Laboratory Selective Attention (LSA) task to assess if they retained value-face associations from the training sessions, followed by the Real-World Selective Attention (RWSA) task to evaluate generalization.
