Study Background
For this research study, we are asking children ages 6-12 to rate the emotion they hear in a series of short speech clips (similar to cartoons). We are doing this to create better tools for studying the development of voice perception, which is often an obstacle to social communication in neurodevelopmental disorders.
The study requires participation from one child and one adult parent/guardian. Time commitment is approximately 45 minutes: 25 minutes from the child, and 10-20 minutes from the adult.
