WEITLAUF, Auteur ; Ashwaq Zaini AMAT, Auteur ; Amy SWANSON, Auteur ; Zachary WARREN, Auteur ; Nilanjan SARKAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.199-211 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Collaboration  Communication  Measurement  Technology  Virtual reality Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Existing literature regarding social communication outcomes of interventions in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) depends upon human raters, with limited generalizability to real world settings. Technological innovation, particularly virtual reality (VR) and collaborative virtual environments (CVE), could offer a replicable, low cost measurement platform when endowed with intelligent agent technology and peer-based interactions. We developed and piloted a novel collaborative virtual environment and intelligent agent (CRETA) for the assessment of social communication and collaboration within system and peer interactions. The system classified user statements with moderate to high accuracies. We found moderate to high agreement in displayed communication and collaboration skills between human-human and human-agent interactions. CRETA offers a promising avenue for future development of autonomous measurement systems for ASD research.

Can Robotic Interaction Improve Joint Attention Skills? / Zachary WARREN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-11 (November 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-11 (November 2015) . - p.3726-3734 Titre : Can Robotic Interaction Improve Joint Attention Skills? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Zachary WARREN, Auteur ; Zhi ZHENG, Auteur ; Amy R. SWANSON, Auteur ; Esubalew BEKELE, Auteur ; Lian ZHANG, Auteur ; Julie A. CRITTENDON, Auteur ; Amy F. WEITLAUF, Auteur ; Nilanjan SARKAR, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3726-3734 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Robotics  Technology  Joint attention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although it has often been argued that clinical applications of advanced technology may hold promise for addressing impairments associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), relatively few investigations have indexed the impact of intervention and feedback approaches. This pilot study investigated the application of a novel robotic interaction system capable of administering and adjusting joint attention prompts to a small group (n = 6) of children with ASD. Across a series of four sessions, children improved in their ability to orient to prompts administered by the robotic system and continued to display strong attention toward the humanoid robot over time. The results highlight both potential benefits of robotic systems for directed intervention approaches as well as potent limitations of existing humanoid robotic platforms.
