#conceptual processing

Hello everyone!

My name is Amina and I am a BSc Psychology with Honours student at the University of Hertfordshire. I am also the principal researcher of a study that aims to investigate whether judging category relatedness within semantic memory can be influenced by the level of typicality the items have alongside whether high versus low autistic traits have any effect on the performance of different types of processing.

I am currently taking volunteers for this online study. Any adults aged 18 to 65 can volunteer and you do not need an official Autism diagnosis to take part.

In the study, you will be given an item/ definition/ scenario at the top of your screen and will have to decide which of two following words match best to that using your keyboard. After that is completed you will be given the RAADS-14 questionnaire to complete.

It will take roughly 15 minutes to complete. However, a maximum of 30 minutes is given for the entire study to be completed including the information sheet, consent form, debrief sheet, and the “breaks” given (which are just for momentarily resting your eyes and hands), otherwise I cannot use your data. Please note that this study cannot be completed on a mobile phone or tablet, it must be done on a computer/laptop as the keyboard is required for the study’s completion.

You can completed this study at anytime until 23:59 GMT on Friday 1st of March here:

This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee at the University of Hertfordshire and is also being conducted under the supervision of Dr. Nicholas Shipp.

Your participation is very important for this study and is very much appreciated.

Thank you for your time!

Many Thanks

Amina

EDIT: Study is now no longer taking participants!!! Thank you all who took part and spread the word of my study, it definitely means a lot to me 💟

Hello everyone!

I currently have a study for my psychology undergraduate degree. The study takes about 15 minutes to complete.

Here's a brief description:

Judging category relatedness within semantic memory can be influenced by the level of typicality the items have and autistic traits. The purpose of this study is to understand whether performance on multiple categorization tasks is affected by autistic traits. You don't need a diagnosis to take part. The only requirement is to be in the age range 18 to 65.

Do keep in mind this study cannot be completed on mobile phones, it must be done on a computer/laptop as the keyboard is required for completion. Also, the study has built in breaks but the maximum amount of time you can spend on this is 30 minutes and if you exceed this time I won’t be able to use your results.
