A BASIC STUDY ON RECOGNITION OF FACLAL EXPRESSIONS BY PEOPLE WITH AUTISM

1.先前使用静态图片的研究表明，在面部识别中，自闭症儿童对嘴部区域的依赖程度高于眼睛区域。然而，目前还不清楚自闭症成年人在观看动画图片的面部表情时是否存在同样的倾向。因此，两个自闭症的成年人谁参加了若松的研究（2002年），其中的面部表情的计算机生成的动画图片传达的运动的整个脸，运动的眼睛区域和运动的嘴，作为假设，然后测试了2组自闭症和智力残疾人。自闭症组由13名年龄在19至35岁之间的人组成，智力残疾组由相同数量的人组成，年龄在18至32岁之间。研究结果显示，自闭症个体的反应比智障个体的反应更倾向于假设，且自闭症青少年和成年人也有上述依赖嘴部区域进行面部识别的倾向.在这项研究中，我报告的发展，以计算机为基础的程序，教的能力，以确定基本的面部表情表达的情绪，使用计算机生成的动画图片。治疗组由11名年龄在9岁至28岁之间的自闭症患者组成，而未接受治疗的对照组由16名年龄在10岁至32岁之间的自闭症患者组成。培训进行了2-4次。经过训练的个体在情感识别任务上有了显著的提高。结果支持的有用性的程序来教检测的面部影响。另一方面，一些变化表现在家长和教师的认可和生产的面部表情在日常生活中的评级。

1. Prior studies in which static pictures were used suggest that, in face recognition, children with autism rely on the mouth region more than on the eye region. However, it is not clear whether the same tendency exists in the case of autistic adults viewing the facial expressions of animated pictures. Therefore, the reactions of two autistic adults who took part in Wakamatsu's study (2002), in which the facial expressions of computer-generated animated pictures were conveyed by movement of the whole face, by movement in the eye region and by movement of the mouth, were employed as hypotheses, and then tested for 2 groups of autistic and intellectually disabled individuals. The autistic group comprised 13 individuals with ages ranging between 19 and 35, and the intellectually disabled group was made up of an equal number of people, with ages ranging between 18 and 32. The results indicated that the autistic individuals' reactions tended to be more similar to the hypotheses as compared to the reactions of the intellectually disabled individuals, and that autistic adolescents and adults also have the above-mentioned tendency to rely on the mouth region in face recognition.2. In this study, I report the development of a computer-based program to teach the ability to identify basic facially expressed emotions using computer-generated animated pictures. The treatment group comprised 11 autistic individuals with ages ranging between 9 and 28, and the no-treatment control group was made up of 16 autistic people, with ages ranging between 10 and 32. The training was conducted for 2-4 sessions. The trained individuals improved significantly on the affect recognition task. Results support the usefulness of the program to teach the detection of facial affect. On the other hand, a few changes demonstrated on parent and teacher ratings of recognition and production of facial expressions in everyday life.
