We have been developing training systems using engineering technologies including voice processing, image processing, and electromyogram measurements, among others, for people with communication difficulties including those with developmental disorders. These training systems are designed to improve their communication skills, and they included voice training for improving the clarity of the voice and emotional expressions, and training in making facial expressions for expressing emotions, among others. Facial expressions play an important role in smooth communication by conveying one's intentions. Moreover, it is necessary to have the skills of synchronizing one's facial expressions with that of others especially when feeling empathy for another person. Skills of synchronizing facial expressions include skills of recognizing others' facial expressions and those of creating one's own facial expressions. We have conducted investigations based on the perspective that when conducting training related to facial expression synchronization it is important to examine abilities for both recognizing and creating facial expressions. This paper describes indices of facial expression synchronization skills developed by us. In an experiment conducted by Otte et al., happy and angry faces were shown to participants as stimuli and they were required to respond with happy or angry faces respectively. It was indicated that the response time differed depending on combinations of facial expressions used in the stimulus and the response. We assessed the response time to an expressionless face as the baseline response time. Then, we defined the effect of generating shorter response times than the baseline when stimulus and response facial expressions were consistent, as a promoting effect, and the effect of generating longer response times when stimulus and response facial expressions were inconsistent, as an inhibitory effect. Furthermore, the time differences from the baseline were defined as indices of the degree of promotion and the degree of inhibition. The results of investigating promoting and inhibitory effects are reported.

Facial expression is one of the most important social skills for smooth communication. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have difficulty with facial expression communication and need support to acquire social skills. Therefore, we developed a training system for facial expression and a support system for recognition of facial expressions. In the training system for facial expression, we devised a user interface so that users can enjoy training by themselves. The user can make facial expressions according to the teacher’s image on the PC screen, and check his or her own facial expression and score with the PC camera. In the facial expression recognition support system, the user’s facial expression recognition is supported by displaying the expression of the person in front of the user in words on the smart glasses. These developed systems were evaluated based on usability, and improvements were discussed based on these evaluations.

本研究では,9歳から11歳の知的障害のない自閉スペクトラム症の児童6名,支援者6名,参与観察者3名による療育活動の参与観察分析を通して,児童の社会性の発達と,それに伴う支援者の係わりを明らかにした。児童と支援者の相互作用を量的・質的に分析した結果,どの児童に対しても支援者は,活動前半には,共感的に児童の言動に耳を傾けたり,逆に自分の意見を伝えたりしながら関係作りを行い,さらに,児童同士が係われるよう仲介していた。そして活動後半には,誤りを指摘したり,児童の思いを明確化するなどして各児童の発達課題にアプローチし,さらに,児童ら自身で協働活動が行えるよう支援していた。一方,児童の社会性については,全児童において,活動終盤には自他境界を意識した言動もしくは他児との協働活動の増加が見られ,社会性に係わる言動の増加が見られた。但し,そのプロセスについては,「自己中心から他者理解へ」「集団の辺縁から集団の中心へ」「孤立から他者との関係性の芽生えへ」の3つに類型化され,個別性が見られた。今後は,このような社会性の発達と密接に係わる自他理解の発達過程が,自閉スペクトラム症の子どもと定型発達の子どもとの間でどのように異なるのかを明らかにすることが課題である。

独居老人の介護,危険回避のために,家庭内での生活様態を把握することは非常に重要であるが,家庭内での振舞い認知についての研究は少ない.本論文では,赤外線センサを各部屋に分散配置し,部屋ごとに老人の滞在の傾向をとらえることにより家庭内での振舞い認知を実現し,新しく観測される老人の活動が,習慣的な振舞いとは異なる振舞いなのかを検知する手法を提案する.
