Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents an ongoing work that aims to provide a quantitative analysis of a large clinical study that was conducted with 21 children aged 4-8 years old. Children were diagnosed with various forms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Delayed Speech Development (DSD) with autistic traits. Each child participated in four to six Robot-Assisted Therapy (RPT) sessions that lasted for fifteen minutes each. We manually video-coded the videos from the sessions to find behavioral patterns, engagement and valence scores, and we are now in the process of statistical data analysis to understand whether children's exposure to a robot had a significant effect over time.
