Using Serious Games to Improve Social Skills in Autism

"The intervention game employs evidence-based serious game mechanics (e.g., storylines, long-term goals, scaling difficulty) to design a learning environment that maximizes opportunities for adolescents with ASD to discover the functional utility of eye gaze cues."

The placebo game will have all the elements of the serious game mechanics of the intervention game (narrative storylines, long-term goals, scaling difficulty), but will not provide the learning opportunities regarding eye gaze cues.
