The European Union reviewed EmotiPlay under the auspices of ASC-Inclusion, a large-scale study to investigate how technology can help children with autism learn “the language of emotion” in order to improve their inclusion and integration in society. The ASC-Inclusion study of EmotiPlay, conducted in partnership with  Cambridge University in the UK, Karolinska Institute in Sweden, and Bar-Ilan University in Israel, demonstrated improved recognition of emotion in all modalities after 8-12 weeks of intervention in three separate cultural contexts. The platform demonstrated significant potential in addressing the needs of children with autism and helping them overcome emotion recognition difficulties. 

  • All videos, audio, and images used in the study were validated as part of the EU-Emotion Stimulus Set, a collection of dynamic multimodal emotion and mental state representations. Validation ensures that the content demonstrates the emotions it purports to show. See the validation studies here.
  • The content was created locally using actors from each participating country, and was culturally validated in each participating country.
  • The control groups continued their ongoing therapy, educational programs, and traditional methods, but did not receive any new interventions.
  • The standardized SRS scale was used for evaluation.
  • At the end of the study, the children were tested with new stimuli not used in the intervention, demonstrating generalization.
