简要总结
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate changes in subject performance on social skills assessments after engaging in a gaze-controlled video game that leverages ABA principles of learning, in comparison to an alternative game. The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate changes in subject gaze patterns during social skills assessments after engaging in the video game, including in comparison to an alternative game and to evaluate possible correlations in changes in social skills assessments with changes in subject game play performance.

主要结局
Ekman-60 Faces Test
时间窗: 6 Weeks
The Ekman-60 Faces Test is used to assesses emotion recognition using pictures. In this study, children were presented with 60 faces across 10 actors displaying six basic emotions (i.e., happiness, sadness, disgust, fear, surprise, and anger). Facial expressions are displayed on the computer for five seconds, after which the image disappears, and participants select from a list of emotions which best described the facial expression shown. Correct responses are summed to create a total score with a possible range from 0-60, and higher scores indicate better emotion recognition.
Social Responsiveness Scale
时间窗: 6 Weeks
The Social Responsiveness Scale is used to identify social impairment in children with autism spectrum disorder. The measure consists of five subscales: social motivation; social awareness; social cognition; social communication; and restricted interests and repetitive behavior, each with items scored on a scale from 1 to 4. A total score can be computed by summing scores across subscales, including, or excluding the restricted interests and repetitive behavior subscale. In this study, response options were re-coded from a scale of 1 to 4, to 0 to 3. Scores were then summed across four subscales, excluding the restrictive and repetitive behavior subscale. Possible scores ranged from 0 to 195, with higher scores meaning a better outcome.
