Two posters in Heidelberg
Larissa Pliska and Dr. Isabel Neitzel from the S&K department will present results from the IDEAS project in two poster contributions at the WTAS conference in Heidelberg. The motto of the conference is "Thinking AUTISM further! Concepts, progression, prognosis" and addresses all research topics relating to children with autism spectrum disorders. Larissa Pliska's contribution focuses on the visual preferences of primary school children with regard to differentiating between social and non-social stimuli and presents the results of eye movement measurements. Dr. Neitzel investigated the response behavior of the same children in conversation with a human and with a fully automated avatar test administration in comparison and also included the reported pragmatic competencies of the children.
