Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental group
Twenty children from the experimental group will undergo the treatment using Robot Nao.
NAO intervention
The subjects will undergo a pre-intervention assessment phase that will consist of administering the Test of Emotional Vocabulary (TLE) and the Test of emotion comprehension (TEC). The tests will be re-submitted at the end of the intervention. Having ascertained the presence of the inclusion criteria and following randomization of the sample, the Experimental Group constituted of 20 children, will be administered the research task, which involves 15 sessions, one per week lasting one hour and thirty minutes. the children are guided by the voice of the robot Nao. The robot guides them in carrying out practical and relaxation activities. Consequently, audio visual feedback will be provided, via the robot, to return information to the subject about the accuracy of the response.
Control group
Twenty children belonging to the control group will be subjected to the same training but in a traditional way.
Traditional intervention
The subjects will undergo a pre-intervention assessment phase that will consist of administering the Test of Emotional Vocabulary (TLE) and the Test of emotion comprehension (TEC). The tests will be re-submitted at the end of the intervention. Having ascertained the presence of the inclusion criteria and following randomization of the sample, the Experimental Group constituted of 20 children, will be administered the research task, which involves 15 sessions, one per week lasting one hour and thirty minutes. The children are guided by the instructions of the operator who guides them in carrying out practical and relaxation activities. Consequently, the operator will provide feedback, to return information to the subject regarding the accuracy of the response.
