In the home study, one of the children spontaneously extended the emotions to people in his immediate space. In both cases the children learned to isolate the parts discussed in the game and attach the facial movements to expressions with statistical significance.
One was in a classroom for first graders with severe autism in a public school in Florida with six students and one involved two case studies of children four and five year old using the program at home. We did conduct 2 small pilot studies to see if young children with autism could learn to isolate and interpret faces from playing Faceland. The prime value of these programs, Faceland, and the Print Activities, is to help individuals learn to isolate main parts of the face and then attach combinations of movement in those parts to expressions. We do not claim the ones we have chosen are the only or the best choices, but they follow the general guidelines we found in research. The parameters that effect how emotions may display on a face appear to be a combination of natural reflexes and learned responses. The expressions chosen are those often identified as standard for many people, although studies have shown that expressions are linked to many variables like culture, sex, age, and historical times. The choice of clues was a result of extensive research by clinical experts and based on many years of published research. For example, surprised people may often open their eyes and mouth wider than normally. Face Clues is designed to help by dividing the face into distinct areas and linking the positions of each of those areas to particular emotions.
Understanding how to break down complex skills, such as reading emotions on a face, can be problematic for many people.
