Summary
This study looks at how children with autism imitate gestures compared to typically developing children. Researchers want to understand why imitation is harder when two movements must be done at the same time. About 200 children aged 8 to 12 will watch videos and imitate gestures while their brain activity is recorded with EEG. The goal is to improve therapies that rely on imitation.
