Correlating traits of autism spectrum disorder to sustained attention in a non-clinical sample.

This independent study project, initiated by student Brandon Rivera, will establish if traits of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the general population will correlate with the ability to sustain attention over a long task. We will crowd-sourced and undergraduate data to maximize generalizability. The results of this study will help clarify whether sustained attention is a potential endophenotype of ASD.
