NCT05898490 - The Effect of Animation Therapy on Time Perception in Primary School Children | Crick

Overview

The aim of the study is to determine the effects of animation therapy on time perception and daily activity routine performances of primary school children.

Time is a process that forms the basis of executive functions used to reveal adaptive behavior and motor performance. However, the way we perceive time can be changed by different factors. This may reveal changes in executive functions such as decision making, behavioral inhibition, planning, and accordingly, in the performance levels and daily routines of daily living activities. Animation therapy is the therapeutic use of the process of shooting a stop-motion animation film. It creates a "flow" effect by nature. The concept of flow includes the loss of the sense of time. In this study, it is aimed to examine whether animation therapy has an effect on the perception of time and daily activity routines in primary school children.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

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 frame: Baseline, preintervention

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.
