Research Participant Registry Core
8. Social Behavior in Girls and Boys with Autism
Description:
The purpose of this study is to learn how children process
social information and whether this differs
between girls and boys and children with and
without a diagnosis of autism.
How children process social information can
impact how they interact with others and
learning more about differences in social
attention can help us design effective
interventions.
The Principal Investigator, Clare Harrop, PhD, is an Assistant
Professor in Allied Health Sciences.
Her research focuses on the
integration of multiple methods
(EEG, eye tracking, behavioral) to
understand development in
neurodevelopmental disorders, with
a specific focus on sex differences.
Recruiting Info:
We are recruiting girls and boys with and without
a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder who are
between 2 and 8 years old.
