Social communication impairment has been implicated in various mental health disorders. The primary aim of this review paper is to summarize the extant research on the development and application of technologies to address social communication deficits, conceptualized according to the four constructs outlined by the NIMH's Research Domain Criteria (RDoC), transdiagnostically in children and adolescents. An exhaustive and systematic search yielded 69 peer-reviewed articles meeting all inclusion criteria (i.e., used technology, applied the technology to target impairment in at least one of four constructs of social communication, included a child or adolescent samples). We found limited use of technology for exploration of impairment in reception of non-facial communication, compared to the other social communication constructs. In addition, there has been an overwhelming focus on social communication impairment in children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with relatively few studies evaluating technology application in other clinical populations. Implications for future directions for technological interventions to treat social communication impairments transdiagnostically are discussed.
社会沟通障碍与各种心理健康障碍有关。本篇综述论文的主要目的是总结现有研究，探讨如何利用技术来解决社会沟通缺陷，这些技术是根据 NIMH 的研究领域标准（RDoC）中概述的四个结构概念化的，适用于儿童和青少年的跨诊断人群。通过全面而系统的搜索，共获得了 69 篇符合所有纳入标准的同行评议文章（即使用了技术，将技术应用于至少四个社会沟通结构中的一个缺陷，纳入了儿童或青少年样本）。我们发现，与其他社会沟通结构相比，技术在探索非面部沟通接受方面的应用有限。此外，研究主要集中在自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童和青少年的社会沟通障碍上，相对较少的研究评估技术在其他临床人群中的应用。讨论了针对跨诊断社会沟通障碍的技术干预的未来方向的影响。
