Abstract: This work investigated the extent to which an Android-based game intervention called SOCH FaceID was related to improvements in facial identification skills of participants with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). SOCH FaceID offers participants practising with face identification and memory enhancement skills in the form of three games. This study (N = 20) specifies that providing children with different opportunities to practice attending to faces, matching and remembering faces in SOCH FaceID structured environment improved their face identification abilities. Results verified that participants who received the intervention improved their face identification, memorising as well as impaired social skills. These results suggest that, by targeting face-processing skills, tablet-based interventions can generate changes in damaged skills in a cost and time-efficient manner.
