| Abstract: | Five adolescents, aged 13–15 yr, with visual impairment from birth, were trained using EMG feedback to produce smiles and frowns in three half-hour sessions. A multiple-baseline across-S design was used. All sessions were recorded on video-tape and were subsequently rated by independent observers for appropriate muscular movements and naturalness of facial expressions. Inter-rater reliability for the ratings was acceptable. Significant overall improvements were obtained for the smile, but not for the frown, with large individual differences across Ss. It was concluded that EMG feedback may be a useful component of a social skills programme designed to reduce social deficits in blind young people. |
