This study evaluated whether two people with developmental disabilities would be able to actively perform simple occupational activities to control their preferred environmental stimulation using a Nintendo Wii Remote Controller with a newly developed three-dimensional object orientation detection program (TDOODP, i.e. a new software program, which turns a Wii Remote Controller into a three-dimensional object orientation detector). An ABAB design, in which A represented the baseline and B represented intervention phases, was adopted in this study. The data shows that the performance of both participants has significantly increased (i.e. they perform more simple occupational activities to activate the control system to produce environmental stimulation) during the intervention phases. The practical and developmental implications of the findings are discussed.
本研究评估了两名发展障碍者是否能够使用新开发的三维物体方向检测程序(TDOODP,即把 Wii 遥控器变成三维物体方向探测器的新软件程序)主动执行简单的职业活动,以控制他们喜欢的环境刺激。本研究采用 ABAB 设计,其中 A 代表基线期,B 代表干预期。数据显示,在干预期内,两名参与者的表现都有显著提高(即他们执行更多的简单职业活动来激活控制系统以产生环境刺激)。讨论了研究结果的实际和发展意义。
