  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Computational Autism

Part of the book series: Human–Computer Interaction Series ((HCIS))

Abstract

Having introduced the autism account of this book “reasoning engine -> behavior” we now focus on how to cure reasoning and evaluate the results. We introduce training scenarios, show how to construct mental formulas, leverage a literature search system, and train adjustment of actions. We also focus on emotional remediation, language improvement and outline an assessment methodology.
