Exploring the link between sensory habituation in everyday life and attentional control abilities.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Sensory habituation, the reduction of physiological and behavioral responses to repeated stimuli, enables adaptation to environmental inputs and shares mechanisms with attentional control. Despite this overlap, the relationship between habituation and attentional processes remains underexplored. The study investigated this link in 143 adult participants, who completed the Sensory Habituation Questionnaire (S-Hab-Q), measuring adaptation time to sensory input in everyday contexts, along with an interference control task, requiring the detection of targets while ignoring global or local stimulus features. Sensory sensitivity and autistic traits were also assessed using the Sensory Perception Quotient (SPQ) and the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ). The findings demonstrated that participants who reported generally taking a long time to adapt to environmental sensory stimuli (S-Hab-Q) were less accurate in detecting global targets when local features had to be suppressed, as well as individuals with higher sensory sensitivity (SPQ). Conversely, they responded faster on non-target trials, which did not require suppression of the irrelevant stimulus dimension, as well as individuals with higher autistic traits (AQ). Overall, the study reveals a close association between individual sensory habituation profiles and attentional control abilities, underscoring the importance of considering both factors in understanding individual sensory sensitivity profiles, particularly in neurodiverse populations.
