Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 9-2 (February 2016) . - p.165-183 Titre : Autism and social robotics: A systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Paola PENNISI, Auteur ; Alessandro TONACCI, Auteur ; Gennaro TARTARISCO, Auteur ; Lucia BILLECI, Auteur ; Liliana RUTA, Auteur ; Sebastiano GANGEMI, Auteur ; Giovanni PIOGGIA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.165-183 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  social robotics  autism therapy  humanoid robots  autism diagnosis Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Social robotics could be a promising method for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) treatment. The aim of this article is to carry out a systematic literature review of the studies on this topic that were published in the last 10 years. We tried to address the following questions: can social robots be a useful tool in autism therapy? We followed the PRISMA guidelines, and the protocol was registered within PROSPERO database (CRD42015016158). We found many positive implications in the use of social robots in therapy as for example: ASD subjects often performed better with a robot partner rather than a human partner; sometimes, ASD patients had, toward robots, behaviors that TD patients had toward human agents; ASDs had a lot of social behaviors toward robots; during robotic sessions, ASDs showed reduced repetitive and stereotyped behaviors and, social robots manage to improve spontaneous language during therapy sessions. Therefore, robots provide therapists and researchers a means to connect with autistic subjects in an easier way, but studies in this area are still insufficient. It is necessary to clarify whether sex, intelligence quotient, and age of participants affect the outcome of therapy and whether any beneficial effects only occur during the robotic session or if they are still observable outside the clinical/experimental context.

Outcomes of a Robot-Assisted Social-Emotional Understanding Intervention for Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Flavia MARINO in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-6 (June 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-6 (June 2020) . - p.1973-1987 Titre : Outcomes of a Robot-Assisted Social-Emotional Understanding Intervention for Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Flavia MARINO, Auteur ; Paola CHILA, Auteur ; Stefania TRUSSO SFRAZZETTO, Auteur ; Cristina CARROZZA, Auteur ; Ilaria CRIMI, Auteur ; Chiara FAILLA, Auteur ; Mario BUSA, Auteur ; Giuseppe BERNAVA, Auteur ; Gennaro TARTARISCO, Auteur ; David VAGNI, Auteur ; Liliana RUTA, Auteur ; Giovanni PIOGGIA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1973-1987 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asd  Cbt  Emotion  Rct  Robot  Social Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study is a randomized control trial aimed at testing the role of a human-assisted social robot as an intervention mediator in a socio-emotional understanding protocol for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Fourteen children (4-8 years old) were randomly assigned to 10 sessions of a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) intervention implemented in a group setting either with or without the assistance of a social robot. The CBT protocol was based on Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) principles. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted using the Test of Emotional Comprehension (TEC) and the Emotional Lexicon Test (ELT). Substantial improvements in contextualized emotion recognition, comprehension and emotional perspective-taking through the use of human-assisted social robots were attained.

Methods A group of n?=?2400 unselected Italian toddlers were screened by paediatricians during routine well?CHild visits between 18 and 24 months,in three Italian regions, representative of the North, Centre and South of Italy. The psychometric properties and factor structure of the Q?CHAT were explored and compared with published literature from Asia and the UK. Results The total Q?CHAT scores in our sample confirmed a normal distribution. Mean Q?CHAT scores across regions were consistent with those reported in UK studies and likewise, a gender effect was found, with boys scoring higher than girls.We also found a remarkable consistency with the three-factor structure of the Asian Q?CHAT. Internal consistency was acceptable for both the Q?CHAT total score and the three factors. Conclusions Our results confirm the dimensional distribution of autistic traits and related symptoms in unselected populations across different cultures. The Q?CHAT is a valid and reliable dimensional screening instrument to be used within a routine paediatric setting during well-child assessments.The main normative data and factor structure replicated in our sample En ligne : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rasd.2019.04.004 Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=399 [article] Psychometric properties, factor structure and cross-cultural validity of the quantitative CHecklist for autism in toddlers (Q-CHAT) in an Italian community setting [Texte imprimé et/ou numérique] / Liliana RUTAA, Auteur ; Giuseppe Maurizio ARDUINO, Auteur ; Antonella GAGLIANO, Auteur ; Fabio APICELLA, Auteur ; Elisa LEONARDI, Auteur ; Francesca I.
