	How do infants with siblings with autism learn in social and nonsocial settings? Age Range: 9 - 12 months In this 15-minute study over Zoom, your baby will see a series of fun, colorful toys. An actor will also be on screen. Sometimes the actor will look at the camera and then back at the toy, suggesting they are "sharing attention" to the toy with your baby. Other times, the actor will just look at the toys. We will use gaze tracking to measure how well babies learn to recognize the toys. This study will help us understand how caregivers can support or distract from babies' learning. This study requires that your infant has an older sibling with an autism diagnosis (proof will be requested)
