Read my lips The importance of the face in a computer-animated tutor for vocabulary learning by children with autism
TLDR
It is indicated that at least some children with autism benefit from the face in learning new language within an automated program.Abstract:
A computer-animated tutor, Baldi, has been successful in teaching vocabulary and grammar to children with autism and those with hearing problems. The present study assessed to what extent the face facilitated this learning process relative to the voice alone. Baldi was implemented in a Language Wizard/Tutor, which allows easy creation and presentation of a vocabulary lesson involving the association of pictures and spoken words. The lesson plan included both the receptive identification of pictures and the production of spoken words. A within-subject design with five children with autism followed an alternating treatment in which each child continuously learned to criterion sets of words with and without the face. The rate of learning was significantly faster and the retention was better with the face. The research indicates that at least some children with autism benefit from the face in learning new language within an automated program.read more

Use of computer-assisted technologies (CAT) to enhance social, communicative, and language development in children with autism spectrum disorders.
TL;DR: This paper reviews the use of computer-assisted technology (CAT), excluding strictly internet-based approaches, to enhance social, communicative, and language development in individuals with ASD by dividing the vast literature into four main areas: language, emotion recognition, theory of mind, and social skills.

TL;DR: Results suggest that CBI should not yet be considered a researched-based approach to teaching communication skills to individuals with ASD, however, CBI does seem a promising practice that warrants future research.

TL;DR: It is suggested that in order for sophisticated cortical neuronal systems have evolved in which MNs function as key elements, early developmental failures of MN systems are likely to result in a consequent cascade of developmental impairments characterised by the clinical syndrome of autism.
