Comprehension of parent narratives
Abstract
This exploratory eye-tracking study investigates lower-level comprehension skills in young autistic and non-autistic children as they hear unscripted parent narratives. The lower-level comprehension skills we focus on are identifying and maintaining topic, resolving referential expressions and paying attention to contextually relevant elements. This study also investigates if narratives produced by parents of autistic children are tuned to support comprehension. We look for potential accommodation in certain broad and discourse specific measures.
