Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of virtual reality technology in the promotion of peer in?teraction ability in children with high functioning autism( HFA) . Methods 15 children with HFA were re?cruited and divided into control group( n=5) ,experimental group 1( n=5) and experimental group 2( n=5) with IQ and gender matching. The experimental group 1 received the attentional bias modification task,the flash animation technology task using virtual reality technology and the task in the real environment. The ex?perimental group 2 received the flash animation technology task using virtual reality technology and the task in the real environment. The control group received the task in the real environment only. Results ( 1) Af?ter the attentional bias modification,compared with the experimental group 2,the experimental group 1 was shorter on reaction time( T1=16.0,T2=39.0, U=1.0, P=0.016) ,and was higher on the accuracy( T1=40.0, T2=15.0, U=0.0, P=0.008).(2)The scores of the experimental group 1 in the other?regarding(T1=39.5, T2=15.5, U=0.5, P<0.01) and the using language( T1=38.0,T2=17.0, U=2.0, P<0.05) were higher than the experimental group 2.(3) The scores of the experimental group 1 in the other?regarding,using language and rule executor were higher than those of the control group(all P<0.01).(4) The score of the experimental group 2 in the other?regarding was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05) . Conclusion The attention bias correction based virtual reality peer interaction technology can effectively improve the ability of other?re?garding,language using and execution rules of children with HFA in the real environment.
