The purpose of this study was to construct an artificial intelligence query system, which is suitable for elementary school children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)based on observed behavioral assessment and behavioral theory. The system was assessed for its ability to analyze problem behavior, provide and advise care-givers on treatment strategies and whether it is applicable for elementary school children with ADHD in a clinical setting.
The research team designed this artiflcial intelligence query system based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, behavioral assessment and behavioral theory. Then, seven clinical child psychologists were invited to test the system and applied it on 32 ADHD children. A total of 44 trials were performed. All participants were interviewed at the end of this study. The results of this study indicates that the artificial intelligence query system was based on behavioural theory, provides a problem behavior checking procedure, symptoms of ADHD and treatment strategies. It can focus on the problems that were identifled and provide a variety of treatment strategies which can be applied to elementary school aged children with ADHD. Also, this system can be used during an intake session to provide an individualized training strategy to deal with and reduce the child’s behavior problem at the initial stage. However, the explanation and description of strategies were too difflcult to understand and translate into the daily life for a child. Conclusions of this study shows that this query system can take advantage of the stableness and quickness of the computer’s function to support individualized problem-strategy checking system. Also, this system can enhance professional knowledge and is good for new-learners, and also has the advantages of repeated learning. However the system lacks the symptoms of ADHD comorbidity and solutions of associated problem behaviors limits its capabilities. It is not able to become an automatic training technology in its current design form. |
