Metacognition, Mindfulness and Robots for Autism Inclusion

Abstract

<p class="0abstract">Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder with multi factorial causes, characterized by major cognitive deficits in communication, socialization and emotion recognition and management. Children with autism face a memory mechanism malfunction, difficulty in the control processes (i.e attentional regulation and / or organizing their knowledge in order to make the appropriate decisions solving problems), making it difficult for them, adapt to various environmental changes. Many researchers have shown the effectiveness of robots in developing metacognitive skills to autistic children, as well as in improving social skills, emotion awareness and communication. This article highlights the detailed research took place between 2010 - present, while examining the impact of robots on autistic children through their interaction, use of art, programming, cooperative games and mindfulness training. The outcome of this review emphasizes to the ability of children, to manage and develop mechanisms such as self-control, self-reflection, visualization, focus attention, self-evaluation, self-regulation among others, necessary for their self-awareness. These results to helping children develop the higher mental abilities needed, so that decision-making and problem-solving achieved in their daily life. </p>

Emotional Intelligence in Autism

“…There is a lot of research that has been used -and we could say it has been used -to explore issues related to autism spectrum disorder, such as whether people with autism can benefit from improved cognitive and metacognitive skills. Based on the results there are significant improvements (Mitsea, Akrivopoulou, Lytra & Drigas, 2020).…”

Intervention program using a robot for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

“…The main three categories of educational robot are the humanoid, the non-humanoid and the non-biological. Humanoid robots are based on a human shape, for example a child; non-humanoid robots are similar, but with the shape of an animal, such as a house pet, a parrot, a baby bear or a seal; non-biological robots have no animal characteristics, but take the form, for example of a car, a flower, or even Lego bricks (Mitsea et al, 2020).…”

“…Robots can be given various different roles according to the aims of the intervention and the content and nature of the activity (Mitsea et al, 2020). They can be used for diagnostic purposes with children; early diagnosis increases the chance to enhance desirable behaviors in children with ASD.…”

“…Intervention programs with robots to foster cognitive skills in children with ASD have been shown to promote motivation, empathy and self-control in the event of emotions such as anger or fear (Mitsea et al, 2020), and can enhance mimicking, mutual attention, emotion recognition, and facial expression, thus improving social interaction. We conducted a study of the effects of a course of educational intervention, using a robot, on the social and communication skills of schoolchildren with ASD.…”

A Machine Learning Way to Classify Autism Spectrum Disorder

“…The goal of [36] is through a literature survey: a) To outline the emotional turn of events and instruction of people on the range b) To present the discoveries of examinations c) To present and raise key worries about the emotional intelligence of kids range of autism d) Bring up issues about the advancement of instructive techniques pointed toward improving the emotional improvement of people in the autism range and subsequently the advancement of social sentiments their maternal aptitudes [37] gives a brief & agent depiction of the job that artificial intelligence plays these days at the evaluation of autism. [38] features the point-by-point research occurred between 2010 -2020, while looking at the effect of robots on medically introverted kids through their connection, utilization of craftsmanship, programming, etc. Behavior inflexibility (BI) for youngsters with formative inabilities was built by utilizing a multistep procedure with the help of a parent Studies need to analyze the focalized and unique legitimacy of the Behavioral Inflexibility Scale (BIS) using a multi-method approach.…”
