Virtual worlds help autistic children develop social skills

>Virtual worlds can be used to help autistic children develop social skills, suggest early findings from new research called Echoes, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).
>In the research, children use multitouch to activate virtual characters on the screen and experiment with different social scenarios, allowing the researchers to compare their reactions with those they display in real-world situations.
>Over a number of sessions, some children demonstrate a better quality of interaction within the virtual environment and an increased ability to manage their own behavior, enabling them to concentrate on following a virtual character’s gaze or focus on a pointing gesture, thus developing the skills vital for good communication and effective learning.
>The findings could prove useful in helping children with autism to develop skills they normally find difficult. “The beauty of it is that there are no real-world consequences, so children can afford to experiment with different social scenarios without real-world risks,” said project leader Dr Kaska Porayska-Pomsta.

Yes, because VNs are a good example of real-world interactions, right?

Sounds more like secondlife meets that creepy-ass medical old-folks-nagging program they were researching.

VN's are more like cheapo CYOA animu, from what I can tell.

I mean, it's not like I play this shit or anything.

But i only play/read NTR VNs or hardcore strap-on lolidom eroge.
And i am not sure how fueling my misogyny or perversion is good for anything.

>> No.8080805

So, we just have to play lots of VNs?

To be honest someone who is misogynistic as fuck would probably function well in a relationship.

Atleast you wont be surprised when he/she/it cheats on you with the mexican gardner.
And you should be used to the anger that comes with it so you wont kill the person and get yourself jailed.
