用真人和机器人叫名字,对比自闭症儿童与正常儿童的注意力反应差异。

Human vs. NAO: A Computational-Behavioral Framework for Quantifying Social Orienting in Autism and Typical Development

  • 通过视频分析人脸与眼神追踪,量化儿童对名字呼叫的反应
  • 自闭症儿童在响应频率、延迟和注视时长上表现显著不同
  • 研究结果可用于开发基于机器人的自闭症早期评估工具

叫名字是早期社交定向行为之一,也是自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)检测的重要指标。典型发育儿童对名字呼叫表现出近乎反射性的反应,而自闭症儿童则常出现响应频率降低、延迟增加或模式异常。本研究比较了真人与NAO机器人发出的名字呼叫下,神经正常与神经异质儿童的差异反应。分析聚焦于眼神接触、反应延迟、头部与面部转向及持续关注时长等多维度行为参数。采用基于视频的计算方法,结合人脸检测、眼区追踪与时空面部分析,获取精细的反应度量。在受控的人机条件下,对比两组群体在名字呼叫情境下的注意力动态,旨在揭示社会线索来源与模态对注意机制的影响。研究深化了对自闭症社交定向缺陷的理论理解,并推动了机器人辅助评估工具的应用发展。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Responding to one's name is among the earliest-emerging social orienting behaviors and is one of the most prominent aspects in the detection of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Typically developing children exhibit near-reflexive orienting to their name, whereas children with ASD often demonstrate reduced frequency, increased latency, or atypical patterns of response. In this study, we examine differential responsiveness to quantify name-calling stimuli delivered by both human agents and NAO, a humanoid robot widely employed in socially assistive interventions for autism. The analysis focuses on multiple behavioral parameters, including eye contact, response latency, head and facial orientation shifts, and duration of sustained interest. Video-based computational methods were employed, incorporating face detection, eye region tracking, and spatio-temporal facial analysis, to obtain fine-grained measures of children's responses. By comparing neurotypical and neuroatypical groups under controlled human-robot conditions, this work aims to understand how the source and modality of social cues affect attentional dynamics in name-calling contexts. The findings advance both the theoretical understanding of social orienting deficits in autism and the applied development of robot-assisted assessment tools.
