OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Investigating attention to underlying mechanisms of language development: A prospective ASD and ADHD infant-sibling study
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) frequently co-occur and some individuals with both conditions have language impairments. Early attention to social and non-social stimuli at the rhythm of human syllabic speech (4-8Hz) may provide behavioural evidence of infant’s perceptual tuning to the underlying mechanisms of language. It may also indicate whether infants modulate their looking behaviour according to the social relevance of stimuli and differences in stimulation arising from the rate of task presentation. However, to date few studies have examined these processes very early in development, where some of these individuals will later present with ASD and ADHD.
I will present preliminary findings from an eye-tracking task to investigate attention to underlying features of language, social and non-social stimuli in infants at typical-likelihood and elevated-likelihood of ASD and/or ADHD from the BASIS STAARS cohort (www.staars.org).
