What do we do?  

​

The objective of Traberitea is to learn more about the evolutionary trajectories of babies with typical and atypical development framed in their own diversity.

​

At this moment, we are carrying out a project aimed at knowing how and when human skills as important as the recognition of faces, voices and speech sounds are displayed  or the skills of socio-emotional interaction with adults, among others. For this we use different types of tasks: we present images and sounds on a screen and record where the baby looks, we propose different games and we observe him interacting with an adult (eg his mother or father). We also collect complementary information that families provide us.

We choose especially relevant moments in development to observe the changes that occur in these competencies, making a continuous follow-up at four and eight months, a year, a year and a half and two years of the baby's life.

​

With this study, we hope to better understand how these skills develop, as well as to identify what factors help explain the individual differences observed in such development. We trust that a better understanding of these factors will also allow us to explain the possible differences in the developmental trajectories between children with and without genetic risk for autism (that is, children who have, or who do not have, siblings diagnosed with autism ).
