Study Summary
The goal of the project is to better understand executive control-how children manage complex or conflicting information in the service of a goal. This skill has been linked to social and academic functioning in typically developing children. Executive control is often reduced in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but it has not been a focus of treatment. This project will have the goal of determining whether computer-training tasks developed to enhance the executive control skills of preschoolers and school-aged children without autism are appropriate for children with ASD. The investigators do not yet know if this training is beneficial for children with ASD. In addition, because executive control has been found to relate to social knowledge and problem solving, the investigators will collect information with this type of task to measure possible effects of training.
Primary Outcome
Conflict Processing-Behavior (Post-testing controlling for Baseline) Children indicate the location of a picture by pressing the left and right arrow buttons for 75% of the trials (i.e., the dominant task). For the remaining 25% of trials, a stop signal appears and a Change response (i.e., space bar) was required. Stop signals occurred equally at 50, 200, 350, and 500 ms before the anticipated response based on the child's reaction time. The SSRT estimates the latency of inhibitory responding
