Abstract:
A training program is configured to systematically drive neurological changes to overcome social cognitive deficits. Various games challenge the participant to observe gaze directions in facial images, match faces from different angles, reconstruct face sequence, memorize social details about sequentially presented faces, identify smiling faces, find faces whose expression matches the target, identify emotions implicitly expressed by facial expressions, match pairs of similar facial expressions, match pairs of emotion clips and emotion labels, reconstruct sequences of emotion clips, identify emotional prosodies of progressively shorter sentences, match sentences with tags that identify emotional prosodies with which they are expressed, identify social scenarios that best explain emotions expressed in video clips, answer questions about social interactions in multi-segmented stories, choose expressions and associated prosodies that best describe how a person would sound in given social scenarios, and/or understand and interpret gradually more complex social scenes.
