2. What is the research problem that is being investigated? What is the purpose of the
research being conducted?
The study explores sensory habituation in relation to autism. The researchers
defined sensory habituation as the decrease in response to a reoccurring stimulus.
Past research has denied any evidence of sensory habituation differences between
neuro-typical children and children with autism. In contrast, researchers of the
current study have chosen a different methodological route to pursue. The initial
hypothesis indicates that children with autism have a reduced sensory habituation
for both visual and auditory stimuli. To encroach on this theory, the researchers
main objective is to investigate sensory habituation by comparison of neuro-typical
subjects and subjects with autism.
3. What is the research question?
Do children with autism have a reduced sensory habituation for both visual and
auditory stimuli in comparison to typical children?
