We present the results of two usability studies evaluating use collaborative technologies designed to facilitate children with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) learning social competence skills through technology-delivered Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The first study examined a co-located games (Join-In Suite) run on multi-user tabletop shared active surface (SAS). second virtual environment (CVE) support understanding and practice conversation skills. Both prototypes were developed...

The study’s purpose was to examine the contribution of a programmable robot an intervention program for promoting spatial ability (spatial relations, visual-memory, mental rotation) preschool children. Eighty-four participants were randomly assigned three groups: programmable-robot-based intervention, traditional control group. Spatial examined pre- and post-10 sessions. Findings indicate that children exposed programmable-robot displayed significantly higher spatial-relations...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the practice rotating Virtual Reality (VR) three-dimensional (3D) objects will enhance spatial rotation thinking deaf and hard-of-hearing children compared two-dimensional (2D) objects. Two groups were involved in study: an experimental group, which included 21 hardof-hearing children, who played a VR 3D game, control group 23 similar 2D (not VR) game. results clearly indicate that practicing with rotations significantly improved children's...

There is common agreement that preschool-level science education affects children’s curiosity, their positive approach towards science, and desire to engage with the subject. Children’s natural curiosity drives them enthusiastically in all forms of exploration. Engaging scientific exploration necessitates self-regulation capabilities a wide repertoire cognitive metacognitive strategies. The purpose this study was examine what extent preschoolers (aged 5‒6 years) implement nascent inquiry...

The study investigated whether rotating three-dimensional (3-D) objects using virtual reality (VR) will affect flexible thinking in deaf and hard of hearing children. Deaf subjects were distributed into experimental control groups. group played 3-D Tetris (a game VR technology) individually, 15 minutes once weekly over 3 months. conventional two-dimensional (2-D) the same period. Children with normal participated as a second order to establish children really are disadvantaged thinking....

The process of developing concepts time continues from age 5 to 11 years (Zakay, 1998). This study sought the representation mode in which children could best express concepts, especially proper arrangement events a logical and temporal order. Usually, order is examined taught by 2D (2-dimensional) pictorial scripts. Using Bruner's (1973, 1986, 1990) stages, we tested comparative effectiveness VR (Virtual Reality) as on children's conception sequential with mode, oral, textual modes....

This study sought to test the most efficient representation mode with which children hearing impairment could express a story while producing connectives indicating relations of time and cause effect. Using Bruner's (1973, 1986, 1990) stages, we tested comparative effectiveness Virtual Reality (VR) as on children's production time-connectives four other modes representation: pictorial, oral, signed, textual. One hundred thirty-four participants aged 4–10, 69 65 children, divided into two age...

A 3-month intervention was conducted to enhance the sequential time perception and storytelling ability of young children with hearing loss. The were trained arrange pictorial episodes temporal scripts tell stories they created. Participants ( N = 34, aged 4-7 years) divided into 2 groups based on whether their spoken-language gap more or less than 1 year compared age norms. They completed A. Kaufman N. Kaufman's (1983) picture series subtest Guralnik's (1982) test at pretest posttest....

Over the years deaf and hard‐of‐hearing children have been reported as having difficulty with time conception and, in particular, proper arrangement of events a logical, temporal order. The research examined whether perceive sequence differently under different representational modes. We compared effect three‐dimensional (3D) virtual reality (VR) representation on sequential perception among pictorial, textual, spoken signed representation. studied 69 participants aged 4–10, who were divided...

This study examines the role of adolescents-parents/teachers/peers relationships as explanatory variables cyberbullying and problematic Internet-use (PIU) pre-and during COVID-19 pandemic. Questionnaires were delivered to 348 adolescents ages 13 18 years ( M = 15.05) at two time-points, provided a rare opportunity for assessment pandemic effect. A significant increase was found in Internet-usage PIU from pre-pandemic pandemic-lockdown, although no change cyber-perpetrating/victimization, but...

The lack of the auditory sense in hearing-impaired raises question as to extent which this deficiency affects their cognitive and intellectual skills. Studies have pointed out, that with regard reasoning, particularly when process induction is required, children usually difficulties. They experience similar difficulties ability think a flexible way. Generally, large body literature suggests tend be more concrete rigid thought processes. This study aimed at using Virtual Reality tool for...
