Visual Search Strategy in Autistic Adults
Official Title
Visual Search Strategy in Neurodivergent Populations
Purpose
The NeuroLab is looking at differences in how Autistic and Neurotypical adults pay attention to their surrounding environment. Previous studies have found that autistic individuals are often better at focusing on visual cues—things they see in their environment—and this study wants to understand what causes that difference. To do so, participants will come in for 2-3 hours and complete computer games, paper and pencil games, and surveys. The goal is to learn how attention works for different people and why Autistic individuals might focus on visual cues differently.
