The Impact of Sensory Integration on Attention in Autism

"Initially, participants will participate in a familiarization session in which they will see and hear all pairs of pictures and sounds without any associated task, thus ensuring adequate understanding of the stimuli. Next, each child will be tested for each predicted condition, receiving clear instructions on the task: they will have to indicate whether the picture and sound are related. The main task consists of presenting 40 pairs of image-sound stimuli. For each pair, participants must answer the question, Does what you saw match what you heard? using a keypad with a green key for Yes and a red key for No. Each condition includes 10 trials, distributed randomly, with short breaks between them to keep participants focused."
