An Intervention Study on Children’s Healthy Joint Attention Skills Based on a Mixed Instructional Approach of DTT and PRT

Abstract

Joint attention is an important element that influences children’s early development of communication and sociality, and joint attention is more often than not the earliest incipient of their prosocial behavior. Joint attention skills are one of the core deficits of children with autism, and identifying and remediating the core problems of autism is a popular area of interest, with joint attention being the focus of attention. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the combined orientation model of Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) and Pivotal Response Training (PRT) could improve the joint attention skills of children with autism. This study used a cross-behavioral multitest design in a single-subject study with two preschool children with autism as subjects, with the independent variable being joint attention teaching and the dependent variable being the three joint attention skills (eye gaze, following directions, and active display). After the instructional intervention, children with autism showed a significant increase in the correctness of “eye alternation,” “following directions,” and “moving displays.”

Image Segmentation and Target Extraction of Preschool Educational Activity Space for Improving Children's Concentration

“…Children's pointing and concentrate on specific things are examples of children's psychological activity, and these actions are referred to as children's concentration [1,2]. Children's mental activity are said to be direct when they point away from one thing at a specific point and toward other objects, a sign of their selectivity [3][4][5][6]. Although it cannot be compared to a child's IQ, a child's intelligence will be somewhat impacted by their level of concentration.…”
