中文摘要:

      目的 从孤独症谱系障碍(Autism Spectrum Disorders，ASD)患儿的角度出发，以其特殊的形状偏好特征为基础，展开ASD儿童产品设计研究。方法 采用对偶比较法，以两组3~6岁儿童的ASD患儿和正常幼儿为实验参与者，儿童产品设计中常见的7种形状为评价对象，探究ASD儿童对不同形状的偏好特征。结果 试验结果分析得出ASD患儿的形状偏好顺序为:圆形、椭圆形、花形、多边形、正方形、三角形、长方形，明显偏爱圆形。其偏好顺序和偏好程度都与同年龄的正常幼儿有较大差异。结论 符合ASD儿童偏好特征的产品不仅能有效吸引患儿的注意力，提高对学习任务的兴趣，而且还能产生持久的强化效用。在此基础上，提出了符合ASD儿童偏好特征的产品设计理念，并进行设计实践，为今后的ASD儿童产品设计开发提供重要启示和依据。

英文摘要:

      It aims to research the product design for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) based on their special shape preference characteristics. This study adopted the paired comparison method and involved two groups of Chinese children aged 3-6 years (children with ASD and normal children), with sevencommon shapes used in children’s product designs as the evaluation objects, to investigate the shape preference characteristics of children with ASD. It indicated that the preference order and preference degree of children with ASD were both highly different from those normal children at the same age. The preference order of children with ASD was:circle, ellipse, flower shape, polygon, square, triangle and rectangle, and there is a significant preference for circle. The products that accord with ASD children’s preferences will not only attract children’s attention, improve their interest and motivation in learning tasks effectively, but also produce consistent reinforcement effects. On this basis, the product design concepts and design practice that conform to the preferences of the special population were proposed, which will provide important inspirations and basis for the future product design and development for this special population.
