Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this research is to explore abilities to learn word meanings from overheard conversations in children with ASD (and, as a control, typically developing children).

Specific Aim 2 (Experiment 2): Determine whether children with ASD can learn from addressed and overheard teaching via videoconferencing. The investigators will use a similar procedure to Study 1, except that both overheard and directed teaching will take place on video.

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Addressed

Children participate via video in an interaction with an experimenter who uses the word to be learned.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Addressed Speech

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

New words are introduced directly to the child by an experimenter.

Overheard

Children watch via video while an experimenter uses the word to be learned in an interaction with another experimenter.
