Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

50 ASD children age ranged from 4-10 years old will be randomly allocated to either app-based emotional recognition training or memory training groups for 2 months. Before and after training, some assessements were measured including Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2, Childhood Autism Rating Scale, Wechsler Intelligence Scale and Psychoeducational Profile-3. Some other questionnaires are also collected including Social Responsibility Scale-2,Repetitive behavior scale-Revised,Caregiver Strains Questionnaire，Social Communication Questionnaire，Social Anxiety Scale for Children，Adaptive behavior assessment Schedule. Four eye-tracking tasks as follows: (1) Dynamic geometrical paired with dynamic child dancing; (2) Static neutral and emotional faces; (3) A dynamic gaze-following task; (4) social interaction behaviors paired with the toys alone; (5) spinning actions conducted via children paired with objects.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

ASD children were asked to play emotion recognition-related games for eight weeks using iPAD. Two 15-minsute sessions each day was required.

APP-based memory training

Control group: ASD children were asked to do memory training (i.e. 1 back) for eight weeks using iPAD. Two 15-minsute sessions each day was required.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

APP-based memory intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

ASD children were asked to play memory-related games for eight weeks using iPAD. Two 15-minsute sessions each day was required.
