Artificial Intelligence-Supported Digital Game and Exercise Applications in Children With Autism and Typically Developing Children
Examining the Effects of Artificial Intelligence-Supported Digital Game and Exercise Applications on Children With Autism and Typically Developing Children With a Holistic Approach
The goal of this study is to learn how artificial intelligence-supported digital games and exercise activities affect children with autism spectrum disorder and typically developing children aged 6 to 10 years. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Do the digital game and exercise activities improve children's motor skills? Do the activities affect repetitive behaviors, working memory, and brain activity?
Researchers will compare children who take part in the digital game and exercise activities with children who do not take part in these activities.
Participants will complete assessments before and after the study. Children in the intervention group will take part in artificial intelligence-supported digital game and exercise activities. Researchers will assess children's motor skills, working memory, behaviors, and brain activity.

Descripción detallada
This study will examine the effects of artificial intelligence-supported digital game and exercise applications on children with autism spectrum disorder and typically developing children using a holistic approach. The study will include 60 children aged 6 to 10 years, including 30 children with autism spectrum disorder and 30 typically developing children.
Participants will be assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will include 15 children with autism spectrum disorder and 15 typically developing children. The control group will include 15 children with autism spectrum disorder and 15 typically developing children. Children in the intervention group will participate in artificial intelligence-supported digital game and exercise activities, while children in the control group will not receive this intervention.
The study will examine changes in motor skills, repetitive behaviors, working memory, and brain activity. Quantitative assessments will include standardized measures and electroencephalography (EEG). Qualitative information will also be collected from parents to provide a broader understanding of children's experiences and development.

Experimental: ASD Intervention Group
Children with autism spectrum disorder assigned to the intervention group will participate in the artificial intelligence-supported digital game and exercise program.
|
The intervention consists of a 10-week movement-based digital game program specifically developed for children aged 6-10 years.
Participants in the intervention groups will attend two sessions per week, with each session lasting approximately 60 minutes.
Sessions include warm-up, movement-based digital game activities, and cool-down.
The digital games are delivered using an interactive projection system and require children to perform active body movements in response to visual and game-based tasks.
Activities progressively target balance, coordination, locomotor skills, object control, hand-eye coordination, bilateral coordination, rhythm, reaching, jumping, changing direction, body awareness, and target-directed movements.
Game difficulty and movement demands are progressively adjusted throughout the intervention period.
|
|
Sin intervención: ASD Control Group
Children with autism spectrum disorder assigned to the control group will not participate in the artificial intelligence-supported digital game and exercise intervention.
|
|
|
Experimental: Typically Developing Intervention Group
Typically developing children assigned to the intervention group will participate in the artificial intelligence-supported digital game and exercise program.
|
The intervention consists of a 10-week movement-based digital game program specifically developed for children aged 6-10 years.
Participants in the intervention groups will attend two sessions per week, with each session lasting approximately 60 minutes.
Sessions include warm-up, movement-based digital game activities, and cool-down.
The digital games are delivered using an interactive projection system and require children to perform active body movements in response to visual and game-based tasks.

Periodo de tiempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Brain Activity Assessed With Electroencephalography (EEG)
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and immediately after the 10-week intervention
|
Brain activity will be assessed using electroencephalography (EEG) before and after the intervention.
EEG recordings will be used to evaluate changes in brain activity associated with the artificial intelligence-supported digital game and exercise intervention.
|
Baseline and immediately after the 10-week intervention
|
|
Motor Skill Performance
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and immediately after the 10-week intervention
|
Motor proficiency in the 30 children with autism spectrum disorder and 30 typically developing children will be assessed using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition, Short Form (BOT-2 SF). The BOT-2 SF consists of 12 items representing eight motor skill areas: Fine Motor Precision, Fine Motor Integration, Manual Dexterity, Bilateral Coordination, Balance, Running Speed and Agility, Upper-Limb Coordination, and Strength. Raw performance scores for individual items are converted to point scores according to the BOT-2 scoring procedures and summed to obtain a Total Point Score. The BOT-2 SF Total Point Score ranges from 0 to 88. Higher scores indicate better overall motor proficiency, whereas lower scores indicate poorer motor proficiency. |
Baseline and immediately after the 10-week intervention
|
|
Repetitive Behaviors Assessed With the TEDÖ-R-TV
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and immediately after the 10-week intervention
|
Repetitive behaviors in the 30 children with autism spectrum disorder will be assessed using the Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised-Turkish Version (RBS-R-TV).
The scale consists of 43 items covering six domains of repetitive behavior: Stereotyped Behavior, Self-Injurious Behavior, Compulsive Behavior, Ritualistic Behavior, Sameness Behavior, and Restricted Behavior.
Each item is rated on a 4-point scale from 0 to 3. The total score ranges from 0 to 129. Higher scores indicate greater severity of repetitive behaviors and, therefore, a worse outcome, whereas lower scores indicate less severe repetitive behaviors.

Baseline and immediately after the 10-week intervention
|
|
Working Memory Assessed With the Working Memory Scale (ÇBÖ)
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and immediately after the 10-week intervention
|
Working memory will be assessed using the Working Memory Scale (ÇBÖ) developed by Ergül, Özgür-Yılmaz, and Demir.
The Working Memory Scale for Children Aged 5-10 Years will be used to assess working memory performance in children with autism spectrum disorder and typically developing children.
The scale consists of nine subtests grouped into four dimensions: Verbal Short-Term Memory (Digit Recall, Word Recall, and Nonword Recall), Visual Short-Term Memory (Pattern Matrix and Block Recall), Verbal Working Memory (Backward Digit Recall and First-Word Recall), and Visual Working Memory (Odd-One-Out and Spatial Discrimination).
Each item includes two trials, and one point is awarded for each sequence correctly recalled or identified in the required order.
The total raw score ranges from 0 to 86, with higher scores indicating better working memory performance.
