This paper includes a detailed description of a familiarization protocol, which is used as an integral component of a larger research protocol to collect electroencephalography (EEG) data and Event-Related Potentials (ERPs). At present, the systems available for the collection of high-quality EEG/ERP data make significant demands on children with developmental disabilities, such as those with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Children with ASD may have difficulty adapting to novel situations, tolerating uncomfortable sensory stimuli, and sitting quietly. This familiarization protocol uses Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) to increase research participants' knowledge and understanding of the specific activities and steps of the research protocol. The tools in this familiarization protocol are a social narrative, a visual schedule, the Premack principle, role-playing, and modeling. The goal of this familiarization protocol is to increase understanding and agency and to potentially reduce anxiety for child participants, resulting in a greater likelihood of the successful completion of the research protocol for the collection of EEG/ERP data.
本文详细描述了一种熟悉流程方案，该方案作为一个更大的研究方案的组成部分，用于收集脑电图（EEG）数据和事件相关电位（ERP）。目前，可用于收集高质量EEG/ERP数据的系统对发育障碍儿童，如自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童提出了很高的要求。患有ASD的儿童可能难以适应新情况、忍受不舒服的感官刺激以及安静地坐着。这种熟悉流程方案采用循证实践（EBP）来提高研究参与者对研究方案具体活动和步骤的认识与理解。该熟悉流程方案中使用的工具包括社会叙事、视觉日程表、普雷马克原理、角色扮演和示范。此熟悉流程方案的目标是增强理解和自主性，并有可能减轻儿童参与者的焦虑，从而更有可能成功完成用于收集EEG/ERP数据的研究方案。
