G. Lorenzo Lledó; A. Lorenzo-Lledó; A. Gilabert-Cerdá – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2024
In today's societies, technology occupies a central position in different social spheres. In educational environments, robotics can act as an assistive tool for students with disabilities. More specifically, this tool helps autistic students in the development of attention, which is the fundamental skill in the cognitive and social development of…

Chiao Ling Huang; Lianzi Fu; Shih-Chieh Hung; Shu Ching Yang – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Many studies have highlighted the positive effects of visual programming instruction (VPI) on students' learning experiences, programming self-efficacy and flow experience. However, there is a notable gap in the research on how these factors specifically impact programming achievement and learning intentions. Our study addresses this…

Sani-Bozkurt, Sunagül; Bozkus-Genc, Gulden – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2023
With technological developments in the 21st century, robot applications have proven to be beneficial in providing some opportunities to help with teaching numerous skills such as joint attention and social skills to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, in the studies investigating the effects of robots on joint attention (JA) in…

This study focuses on dialogue breakdowns that can occur in robot-assisted language learning (RALL). Our aim is to analyse how children use gaze to resolve these breakdowns, that is, interruptions in the interaction caused by the robot's inability to understand the children and react appropriately. Our corpus consists of 18 video filmed L2…

Qin, Chao; Liu, Yanjia; Zhang, Hemei – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Being easy to learn and fun, block-based programming tools are widely used to teach students introductory programming. Scratch and LEGO robots are two popular block-based programming tools. However, the objects they manipulate are completely different. Scratch manipulates graphical virtual sprites, whereas LEGO robots manipulate…

Zheng, Zhi; Nie, Guangtao; Swanson, Amy; Weitlauf, Amy; Warren, Zachary; Sarkar, Nilanjan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Although there has been growing interest in utilizing robots for intervention in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), there have been very few controlled trials to assess the actual impacts of such systems on social communication vulnerabilities. This study reports a randomized controlled trial to investigate a robot-mediated response to joint…

Ali, Sara; Mehmood, Faisal; Ayaz, Yasar; Sajid, Muhammad; Sadia, Haleema; Nawaz, Raheel – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
Several robot-mediated therapies have been implemented for diagnosis and improvement of communication skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The proposed research uses an existing model i.e., Multi-robot-mediated Intervention System (MRIS) in combination with Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to develop an infrastructure for categorizing the…

Syriopoulou-Delli, Christine K.; Gkiolnta, Eleni – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2022
The use of socially assistive robotics (SARs) is a promising method for improving the social skills of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Studies conducted in this field in recent years show that the use of robots as collaborators may have positive effects on the development of social skills in children with ASD, especially in those…

Saryazdi, Raheleh; Nuque, Joanne; Chambers, Craig G. – Cognitive Science, 2022
Redundant modifiers can facilitate referential interpretation by narrowing attention to intended referents. This is intriguing because, on traditional accounts, redundancy should impair comprehension. Little is known, however, about the effects of redundancy on older adults' comprehension. Older adults may show different patterns due to…

Technological agents could be effective tools to be used in interventions for enhancing social orienting for some young children with ASD. 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…

Fachantidis, Nikolaos; Syriopoulou-Delli, Christine K.; Zygopoulou, Maria – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Aim: The current study investigates the outcomes of the interaction between four elementary school pupils with autism spectrum disorders and a robot called Daisy. Method: During structured and prepared activities which were conducted by the social robot, as well as by a human partner. Results: Results indicate positive outcomes during the…

Learning robotics can be performed individually or as a collaborative problem-solving activity. Effective pedagogy is based on the latter. In this paper, we offer a work-in-progress report of an observational analysis of parent-child dyads engaged in an educational robotics workshop in a Science Center. We chose this context because learning…
