ABSTRACT
This paper presents a novel approach for automatic prediction of risk of ADHD in schoolchildren based on touch interaction data. We performed a study with 129 fourth-grade students solving math problems on a multiple-choice interface to obtain a large dataset of touch trajectories. Using Support Vector Machines, we analyzed the predictive power of such data for ADHD scales. For regression of overall ADHD scores, we achieve a mean squared error of 0.0962 on a four-point scale (R² = 0.5667). Classification accuracy for increased ADHD risk (upper vs. lower third of collected scores) is 91.1%.

Sexting experiences and motivations among adolescents with ADHD and ASD
AbstractSexting (i.e., to send and receive self-produced sexual materials) has become a common element in adolescents’ socio-sexual exploration. Although often harmless, sexting also involves the risk of abuse, and potentially more so for some ...
Highlights- Adolescents, including those with ADHD/ASD, mainly use sexting for sexual gratification and exploration.
Comparing Tangible and Multi-touch Interaction for Interactive Data Visualization Tasks
TEI '16: Proceedings of the TEI '16: Tenth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied InteractionInteractive visualization plays a key role in the analysis of large datasets. It can help users to explore data, investigate hypotheses and find patterns. The easier and more tangible the interaction, the more likely it is to enhance understanding. This ...
Touch interaction for children aged 3 to 6 years
Our present understanding of young children's touch-screen performance is still limited, as only few studies have considered analyzing children's touch interaction patterns so far. In this work, we address children aged between 3 and 6 years old during ...
