State-of-the-art of virtual reality technologies for children on the autism spectrum (2011, background): “Bosseler and Massaro ( 2003 ) developed a three-dimensional computer-animated talking head (called ‘Baldi’) that provided realistic and visible speech to help children learn vocabulary.”
ECHOES: An intelligent serious game for fostering social communication in children with autism (2014, background): “…Head project [47], which focuses on developing a talking head that teaches social skills through its ability of realistically portraying facial expressions, and the virtual peers, Baldi and Timo [14], which are three-dimensional computer-animated talking heads for language and speech training.”
Use of Computer-Assisted Technologies (CAT) to Enhance Social, Communicative, and Language Development in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (2012, background): “They found that the children (the same children who had participated in Bosseler and Massaro 2003) learned faster and remembered better what they had learned in the bimodal (voice ? face) condition than in the unimodal (voice-only) condition.”
Innovative technology-based interventions for autism spectrum disorders: A meta-analysis (2014, background): “…itself, rather than independent outcome measures, were rejected due to the potential for assessments based on trained material that lacked measurement validity (Bosseler and Massaro, 2003; Josman et al., 2008; Massaro and Bosseler, 2006; Sitdhisanguan et al., 2008; Yamamoto and Miya, 1999).”
Use of Technology in Interventions for Children with Autism (2004, background): “…(Silver & Oakes, 2001), enhance problem solving (Bernhard-Opitz, Sriram, & Nakhoda-Sapuan, 2001), improve vocabulary (Moore & Calvert, 2000; Bosseler & Massaro, 2003), advance generative spelling (Kinney, Vedora, & Stromer, 2003), enhance vocal imitation (Bernhard-Opitz, Sriram, & Sapuan,…”
Videogames and Young People with Developmental Disorders (2010, background): “Bosseler and Massaro (2003) showed similarly that children with autism could acquire vocabulary and grammar from a computer-animated tutor.”
Virtual-Reality-Based Social Interaction Training for Children with High-Functioning Autism (2013, background): “For example, Bosseler and Massaro (2003) developed a three-dimensional computer animated tutor called Baldi, who taught vocabulary and functional language use to children with autism.”
