NCT ID NCT05707923
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how using single words or short phrases (instead of full sentences) affects language processing and word learning in young children with autism, ages 1 to 4. Researchers will show children screen-based tasks and track their eye movements to see which type of language helps them understand and learn new words best. The goal is to find out what works best for different kids, so future therapies can be more personalized.
