用手持震动游戏降低儿童心率和活动量，促进专注与平静
Inducing Calmness With Pocket-Sized Robotics: Reducing Movement and Heart Rate in Children through Hand-Held Tactile Interactions
- 通过手持振动匹配游戏引导孩子保持静止，聚焦注意力
- 心率下降3.37次/分钟，整体活动量减少37.6%，重点部位降幅达44.8%
- 适合需要情绪调节或专注力训练的儿童，尤其适用于课堂或家庭场景
高度兴奋或坐立不安的状态会干扰儿童的专注力、自我调节及身体平静。通过触觉互动促进具身自我调节的技术可能为提升平静状态提供简单易行的途径。本文研究了手持微型触觉设备对典型发育儿童生理与行为镇静指标的影响。基于先前关于心率调节的研究，本文新增发现触觉交互如何影响全身运动与姿势稳定性。实验采用一款通过节奏性振动匹配游戏吸引儿童注意并鼓励静止的手持设备。18名儿童参与组内设计实验，分别在有无触觉交互条件下进行测试，同时记录心率与身体运动数据。结果显示，触觉游戏使心率显著下降3.37bpm（p = 0.019），总体活动量减少37.6%（p = 0.02），注意力相关身体区域运动减少44.8%。结果表明，短暂的触觉游戏互动可有效降低生理激活水平，促进平静与专注状态，有助于持续注意力与行为调节。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Periods of heightened arousal or restlessness can interfere with children's ability to focus, self-regulation, and physically calm. Technologies that encourage embodied self-regulation through tactile interaction may provide a simple and accessible means of promoting calmness. This paper investigates how interaction with a pocket-sized tactile device influences physiological and behavioral markers of calmness in typically developing children. Building on prior work examining heart rate modulation, we present new findings on how tactile interaction affects full-body movement and postural stability. We employ a device that engages children through a hand-held rhythmic vibration-matching game, designed to focus attention and encourage stillness. Eighteen children participated in a within-subjects study that involved two conditions: with and without tactile interaction with a hand-held device, while having their heart rate and body movement recorded. Results show that the tactile game interaction reduced physiological arousal (heart rate decreased by 3.37bpm p = 0.019) and physical restlessness (overall movement decreased by 37.6% p = 0.02), with attention-related body regions showing the greatest change toward stillness (44.8% reduction in movement). These findings demonstrate that brief tactile game-like engagement with a hand-held device can down-regulate physiological activation, promoting the calm and focused states toward sustained attention and behavior regulation.
