Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Time Discrimination Task

  Time Discrimination Task is based on the individual's perception of the time difference of two different gaps between two pairs of sequentially given stimuli. Generally, the person is asked to indicate which pair is longer or shorter between two pairs of stimuli of certain lengths, which are given visually and/or audibly. Leveling is performed with the UDTR (Up-Down Transformed-Response) adaptive procedure method to progress the test and determine the participant's discrimination threshold.

• Time Reproduction Task

  In Time Reproduction Task, the participants are asked to produce a stimulus similar to the duration of the stimulus presented to them at certain durations. In our study, visual and auditory stimuli of 200ms, 500ms and 800ms will be presented to the person in the time reproduction task, as in the time discrimination task. These stimuli will be presented in a completely random order, not in a specific order, and each stimulus will be presented 10 times, with a total of 30 consecutive stimuli. A gap of 2000 ms will be left between both stimuli to allow enough time for the person to reproduce the stimulus. The ratio of the absolute value of the difference between the participant's reproduced time and the target time to the target time will be calculated.

• Executive Functions and Occupational Routines Score

  This scale evaluates children's performance in daily activity routines, was developed by Fisch and Rosenblum in 2014. This scale evaluates the daily routines and executive functions of children aged 6-12 years, according to the opinion of their parents/caregivers. It consists of 3 sub-dimensions: Morning and Evening Routines (16 items), Game and Leisure Routines (7 items), and Social Routines (7 items). It is in the form of a five-point Likert scale and each item can be scored between 1 (never) and 5 (always). A high score indicates that the child's performance is high. The scale, which consists of 30 items in total, can be completed in approximately 15 minutes.
