About this survey

We would be grateful to you if you could assist us by participating in our study exploring how neurotypical adults with high ASD traits treat vague colour concepts. The study is specifically interested in investigating whether individuals with high autism traits treat vague concepts as more sharply defined than individuals with low ASD traits and whether treatment of vague concepts differs between truth judgment and perceptual categorisation tasks.

Your participation will take approximately 15 minutes, during which time you will complete three tasks; an Autism Quotient questionnaire measuring autistic traits, a true or false task in respect to colours and a perceptual categorisation task based on colour similarity.

Your data will be confidential with only an anonymous number identifying it, should you wish to withdraw your data at a later point you will be given your assigned number at the end of the study. Taking part in this study is completely voluntary; you may withdraw at any time without having to give any reason. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have about this study via the emails or number provided and await satisfactory a response before continuing.

This application has been reviewed by the University Research Ethics Committee and has been given a favourable ethical opinion for conduct

Thank you for your help.
