Lexical skills and dialogues understanding in adults

Identifying name:SOC-002

Date:February 2019 - December 2019

Participants: (1) French-speaking adults (aged 18 or more) diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder; (2) French-speaking typically-developed adults (aged 18 or more)

Funding: F.R.S.-FNRS (grant FRESH); David & Alice Van Buuren’s funds

Study procedure: The study is composed of 3 sessions. (1) Session 1: you will first wear two little electrodes on your non-dominant hand as well as eye-tracking glasses to record what interests you. This material is harmless. During the first phase, you will be asked to define several usual words. For the second phase, you will quit the material and watch a screen on which will be displayed some dialogues you will have to pay attention to, in order to answer short questions. (2) Session 2 (optional): you will perform various tasks (memory, attention, vocabulary, etc.) to allow us to get a better picture of your profile. If you have already been involved in an ACTE study, you might not have to repeat this session. (3) Session 3 (optional): if you have been diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, without having been interviewed in the context of the ADOS-2, it will be administered to you: you will be asked questions about your hobbies, studies, work, future projects, etc. and you will have to realize some short activities (e.g. doing a puzzle).
