Additionally, this trial aims to determine the effect of acute taurine supplementation on local muscular endurance capacity and local muscular fatigability when compared to a placebo condition. The main questions it aims to answer are:\n\n1. Will there be a positive correlation between NIRS rate constant (a marker of mitochondrial function) and local muscular endurance capacity, along with a negative correlation between NIRS rate constant and local muscular fatigability?\n2. Will acute taurine supplementation lead to improvements in local muscular endurance capacity and local muscular fatigability when compared to a placebo condition?\n\nParticipants will:\n\n1. Complete a NIRS assessment to non-invasively assess the mitochondrial capacity of both vastus lateralis muscles\n2. Complete two acute supplementation assessment visits (separated by 7-10 days) which involve small blood collections before and after taurine or placebo supplementation\n3.

In this study, the investigators are testing whether strategies that have been found to improve word learning in non-autistic children will also help autistic children. Specifically, the investigators aim to test whether autistic children learn words more successfully if novel words are taught by repeating the words to the child (re-study) or if the novel words are taught first with labeling each word and then quizzing the child (repeated quizzing).\n\nThe main questions it aims to answer are:\n\n* When teaching nouns (names of exotic animals), is learning stronger if autistic children re-study or engage in repeated quizzing of the newly taught words?\n* When teaching adjectives (visible features of objects, like a bumpy chair), is learning stronger if autistic children re-study or engage in repeated quizzing of the newly taught adjectives?\n* Does the word learning condition (re-study vs. repeated quizzing) impact whether autistic children are more successful in demonstrating their knowledge of the newly taught words in different contexts?\n* Are autistic features related to patterns of word learning?\n\nParticipants will:\n\n* Learn new words with half of the words being taught in one way (re-study) and the other half of the words being taught in the other way (repeated quizzing).\n* Participate in 5-minute and 1-week tests of the newly taught words to measure child learning.\n* Complete other language, thinking, and autism clinical assessments.",[66],"Autism Spectrum Disorder",[68,69,70,71],"autism","word learning","retrieval practice","test effect","RECRUITING","2026-06-04",{"date":75,"type":44},"2026-06-08",{"date":77,"type":44},"2023-07-28",{"date":79,"type":22},"2026-09-30",{"name":50,"class":51},1,{"id":83,"slug":84,"hasResults":11,"nctId":85,"briefTitle":86,"officialTitle":87,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":88,"healthyVolunteers":16,"sex":17,"minAge":18,"maxAge":89,"enrollmentInfo":90,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":92,"briefSummary":93,"conditions":94,"keywords":96,"overallStatus":40,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":101,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":102,"startDateStruct":104,"completionDateStruct":106,"leadSponsor":108,"locationsCount":4},"100534918","speech-and-voice-outcomes-following-hd-tdcs-over-the-left-sma-100534918","NCT06245070","Speech and Voice Outcomes Following HD-tDCS Over the Left SMA","Immediate and Short-term Effects of High-definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Over the Left Supplementary Motor Area on Voice and Speech Functions in Parkinson's Disease","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease\n* Native English speakers\n* Adequate age-relative hearing and vision to perform the outlined tasks\n* Able to provide their own written consent\n\nExclusion Criteria :\n\n* Neurological disorders besides Parkinson's disease\n* Previous brain surgery including deep brain stimulation\n* Clinical diagnosis of dementia","80 Years",{"count":91,"type":22},48,[25],"Pharmaceutical and neurosurgical treatments reliably ameliorate the cardinal motor symptoms in PD but, they often yield inconsistent outcomes for speech and voice disorders, with some studies showing exacerbation of pre-treatment deficits.
