Photo of a father and sitting son in front of a laptop screen reading. A remote study on how children learn words in stories and the skills that support learning. This work is funded by NIH NIDCD R21 DC017226.

Help us understand how children learn, with a focus on autism spectrum disorder and fragile X syndrome! Participation is from home via Zoom.

This research addresses how children learn – in this case, how children learn new vocabulary words in stories and how memory and attention relate to new learning! We are seeking children with autism (ages 5-10), fragile X syndrome (ages 5-10), or no developmental disabilities (ages 2-6).
