“…This is particularly important for children on the autism spectrum (Piper, O'Brien, Morris & Winograd, 2006). Thanks to computer games, they can learn such primary skills as recognizing faces (Tanaka, Wolf, Klaiman, et al, 2010) and people (Rias & Dehkordi, 2013), or maintaining eye contact (Bartolome, Zorrilla & Zapirain, 2013). However, these conclusions are based on small populations [e.g., 6 people in the study by Rias & Dehkordi (2013)] or predictions (Bartolome, Zorrilla & Zapirain, 2013).…”

Computer games are an interactive form of entertainment that is popular with younger and younger players. Therefore researchers are actively seeking information on the consequences of pursuing this type of pastime. At the beginning, the researchers’ attention was focused mainly on the negative aspects of gaming. Nowadays, more and more benefits related to this activity are being indicated. In 2014, Granic, Lobel and Engels published an article on the benefits of playing computer games. The researchers focused on four areas: cognitive, motivational, emotional, and social. They wanted to inspire new research on mental health benefits of gaming by pointing to various research reports they selected. This paper aims to present the research directions explored in recent years by researchers who strive to describe the positive and negative consequences of gaming. I present the main directions and examples of research in these areas, highlighting the ambiguity of the current results. Problematic areas related to gaming include aggression and violence, addiction, weakening of social relations, experiencing undesirable emotions, sexualization, racial prejudice, and racial discrimination. The indicated opportunities and benefits are the strengthening of cognitive, motor, emotional, and social competences.

“…Subjects had to balance, walk, and perform pointing and reaching tasks. A group at the University of Deusto [12] combined computer games and eye tracking technology to analyze interaction and motor skills of the upper extremities. Taffoni et al [13] used Bluetooth connected sensors as a target to measure motor skills.…”

Fig. 1. The newly developed instruments in action: measuring proprioceptive functions in children a) Grading of Force Test, b) Display of data on mobile device, c) Grading of Movement Test Abstract-An emerging line of research that attempts to reveal underlying mechanisms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) studies differences in sensory processing in individuals with ASD. In this paper, we introduce new methods to measure proprioceptive functions of children with ASD. The instruments use a low-cost Arduino board and shield to acquire data from force and touch sensors. Data are transferred to mobile devices and analyzed with cross-platform application development tools. The instruments were pilot tested with typically developing children to test for functionality and usability of the instruments. They will be used in a larger study with children with ASD.

“…Autism is a disorder that is defined by impairment in social communication and stereotyped behavior (Bartolome, 2013), which is known to be a spectrum disorder, and those having this disorder have a diverse range of strengths and weakness in these areas. For example, deficits in cognitive empathy were once considered to be a universal characteristic of autism, but later research showed this was actually modulated by alexithymia (Bird et al, 2010), which is present in around half of the people with autism (Hill et al, 2004).…”

Video games could have potential therapeutic value for individuals on the autism spectrum, but little research has been done on targeting games to the diverse individual needs of adults with autism, and the problem is complicated by the inaccessibility of patient profiles. The problem of making personalized recommendations from limited information could be solved by using the patient's taste in games as a proxy for their clinical profile, based on a hypothetical model and updated in response to feedback. This model both enables personalized game recommendation from a cold start and allows the learned information to be generalized to other patients.
