眼动技术在孤独症谱系障碍儿童康复效果评估中的应用

doi:10.11852/zgetbjzz2024-0404

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 孤独症谱系障碍(ASD)是严重的神经发育障碍,以社交交流、社交互动的持续性缺陷和受限、重复的行为模式为主要临床特征。由于病因机制未明、异质性极高,目前对ASD儿童康复效果的评估仍以对儿童行为进行直接观察、评定为主。探寻更为客观的康复效果评估方法,不仅是判断治疗是否有效的有力证据,也能为干预计划的制定提供更多可参考的指标。眼动技术因其非侵入性、精度高、便于操作、自由度高等优点在ASD儿童康复效果的评估中表现出较大的应用潜能。本文围绕ASD儿童的核心缺陷,综述了眼动技术在ASD儿童康复效果评估中的研究、具体优势和应用现状,以期为ASD儿童生理心理特征的研究和对临床干预效果的客观评估提供方法和思路。

Abstract: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction, as well as limited and repetitive behavioral patterns. Due to the unknown etiology and high heterogeneity, the current evaluation of the rehabilitation effect of children with ASD is still mainly based on direct observation and assessment of children′s behaviors. Exploring a more objective evaluation method of rehabilitation effect is not only a powerful evidence to judge whether the treatment is effective, but also can provide more reference indicators for the formulation of intervention plans. Eye-tracking technology, with its non-invasive nature, high precision, ease of use, and high degree of freedom, shows considerable potential for evaluating the rehabilitation outcomes in children with ASD. This article reviews the research, specific advantages, and current applications of eye-tracking technology in assessing the rehabilitation outcomes in children with ASD, aiming to provide methods and perspectives for studying the physiological and psychological characteristics of these children and the objective evaluation of clinical interventions effects.
