Examining how sensory integration affects attention in autism

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the impact of sensory integration on attention in individuals with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) by comparing their performance on visual-auditory tasks to that of neurotypical individuals. Participants will be exposed to two modes of stimulus presentation: simultaneous and separate, to assess how these conditions affect accuracy and reaction time. The goal is to determine whether sensory overlap increases cognitive load and decreases performance, while separate presentation may enhance processing abilities in those with ASC.
