We examined response to social bids in preschool children with ASD and typical development (TD) at a very early age (i.e., around 3 years) using social prompts presented by technological agents of various forms and human comparisons. Children with ASD demonstrated less response overall to social bids compared to TD controls, across agents or human. They responded more often to a simple humanoid robot and the simple avatar compared to the human. These results support the potential utilization of specific robotic and technological agents for harnessing and potentially increasing motivation to socially-relevant behaviors in some young children with ASD.

Enhancing interactions during daily routines: A randomized controlled trial of a web-based tutorial for parents of young children with ASD / L. V. IBANEZ in Autism Research, 11-4 (April 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 11-4 (April 2018) . - p.667-678 Titre : Enhancing interactions during daily routines: A randomized controlled trial of a web-based tutorial for parents of young children with ASD Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : L. V. IBANEZ, Auteur ; K. KOBAK, Auteur ; A. SWANSON, Auteur ; L. WALLACE, Auteur ; Zachary WARREN, Auteur ; W. L. STONE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.667-678 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : daily routines  parent training/coaching  parenting efficacy  parenting stress  randomized control trial  social communication Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often experience difficulty participating in everyday home routines, such as bed time or bath time. This randomized controlled trial examined the efficacy of an interactive, web-based parenting tutorial for improving children's engagement in daily routines (i.e., proximal outcomes) as well improving children's social communication and parenting efficacy and stress (i.e., broad outcomes). Parents of children with ASD between 18 and 60 months were randomly assigned to the Tutorial group (n = 52) or the Control group (n = 52). All parents completed questionnaires at baseline (T1), 1 month after T1 (T2; post-tutorial completion), and 2 months after T1 (T3). Relative to the Control group, parents in the Tutorial group reported significantly higher use of evidence-based instructional strategies and higher levels of child engagement during routines at T2 and T3. In addition, parents in the Tutorial group reported significantly lower parenting stress and higher parenting efficacy at T3, as well as higher ratings of child social communication at T2 and T3, compared to the Control group. Parents reported being highly satisfied with both the clinical content and technical aspects of the tutorial. These improvements in both proximal and broad parent-child outcomes suggest that this tutorial may be a promising and accessible way for empowering some parents and improving parent-child interactions. Autism Res 2018, 11: 667-678. (c) 2018 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LAY SUMMARY: This web-based tutorial helped parents of children with ASD use proven strategies to improve their child's participation in daily routines at home. Parents who used the tutorial reported less parenting stress, felt better about their parenting skills, and reported better child social interactions compared to parents who did not use the tutorial. This tutorial may be especially helpful for families who have limited access to services, as it can be completed at home.

Impressions of Humanness for Android Robot may Represent an Endophenotype for Autism Spectrum Disorders / H. KUMAZAKI in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-2 (February 2018)

We investigated whether impressions of "humanness" for android robot might represent a candidate characteristic of an ASD endophenotype. We used a female type of android robot with an appearance similar to that of a real person. Significant differences in overall impressions of 'humanness' for android robot were found between adolescents with ASD and typical development (TD) controls, as well as parents of children with ASD and parents of TD controls. Our current work does suggest robotic systems could potentially play an intelligent role in dissecting ASD heterogeneity.

A Pilot Study Assessing Performance and Visual Attention of Teenagers with ASD in a Novel Adaptive Driving Simulator / J. WADE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 47-11 (November 2017)

The current work examines the use of a novel simulator in two separate studies. Study 1 demonstrates statistically significant performance differences between individuals with (N = 7) and without ASD (N = 7) with regards to the number of turning-related driving errors (p < 0.01). Study 2 shows that both the performance-based feedback group (N = 9) and combined performance- and gaze-sensitive feedback group (N = 8) achieved statistically significant reductions in driving errors following training (p < 0.05). These studies are the first to present results of fine-grained measures of visual attention of drivers and an adaptive driving intervention for individuals with ASD.

Understanding Performance and Verbal-Communication of Children with ASD in a Collaborative Virtual Environment / L. ZHANG in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-8 (August 2018)

In this work, a CVE platform and a set of CVE-based collaborative games are designed for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Two groups (7 ASD/TD pairs; 7 TD/TD pairs) participated in a pilot study to establish system feasibility and tolerability. We also designed a methodology for capturing meaningful metrics of social communication. Based on these metrics, we found improved game performance and trends in communication of these participants over time. Although preliminary, these results provide important insights on CVE-based interaction for ASD intervention.
