DESCRIPTION:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperacti
 vity disorder (ADHD) frequently co-occur and some individuals with both co
 nditions have language impairments. Early attention to social and non-soci
 al stimuli at the rhythm of human syllabic speech (4-8Hz) may provide beha
 vioural evidence of infant’s perceptual tuning to the underlying mechani
 sms of language. It may also indicate whether infants modulate their looki
 ng behaviour according to the social relevance of stimuli and differences 
 in stimulation arising from the rate of task presentation. However\, to da
 te few studies have examined these processes very early in development\, w
 here some of these individuals will later present with ASD and ADHD.\n\nI 
 will present preliminary findings from an eye-tracking task to investigate
  attention to underlying features of language\, social and non-social stim
 uli in infants at typical-likelihood and elevated-likelihood of ASD and/or
  ADHD from the BASIS STAARS cohort (www.staars.org).\nSpeakers:\nMary Agya
 pong (King’s College London)
