Gaze Modification Strategies for Toddlers With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Autism Spectrum Disorder

In brief

This project seeks to understand how the gaze behavior of infants and children with or at high risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be manipulated in the contexts of dynamic social and non-social scenes. The study explores not only the methods which may be most effective in aligning and teaching normative patterns of scene exploration, but also seeks to establish what behavioral characteristics may be most predictive of atypical scanning and atypical learning.
