Description
The aim of this research is to examine whether systemising is a domain-general or domain-specific although the study’s focus will be on whether systemising is in the semantic domain (e.g. grouping words by categories as done by Stuss et al. (1994). The study will also look at the spatial and numerical domain as part of a larger project and compare the results to the different domains and see if there is a difference.
Therefore, by using sequential tasks that target different domains: numerical, spatial and semantic. The study aims to examine the relationship between individual differences and personality traits and their effect on systemising. These personality traits do not imply you have a developmental condition; instead, they describe behaviours/thoughts similar to those found in people with autism.
• It is hypothesised that participants who score higher on the Systemising quotient and the Autistic-Spectrum quotient will benefit more and score higher in the structured sequences and recall more words than scoring lower on the quotients.
• There will be no difference on how many words the participant recalls in the unstructured sequences and scoring high or low in the the systemising quotient and the Autistic-Spectrum quotient
• Participants who score high on the Autistic-Spectrum quotient will score high in the Systemising quotient.
