2026	Explainable Children Autism Detection using Gaze Features in Audio-Visual Speech Comprehension ETRA012 abstract Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by impairments in social interaction and delayed language acquisition. Early and accurate identification is crucial for timely interventions that support cognitive and social development. Motivated by the subjectivity of traditional behavior-based assessments, computational methodologies offer more objective and cost-effective alternatives. Among these, eye-tracking stands out for capturing subtle attentional and perceptual patterns. This paper investigates the use of eye-tracking data for automatic ASD detection in children during audio-visual storytelling interactions, emphasizing traditional yet explainable machine learning methods. Although performance remains modest, our analyses reveal that fixation duration and revisit patterns to facial regions may serve as potential biomarkers. Further analyses highlight the impact of stimulus modality, suggesting that the inclusion of visual speech cues provides valuable discriminative information. These findings have the potential to support and guide the work of psychologists in the assessment of ASD within speech comprehension contexts.

2024	Young adults with intellectual disability, their relatives, and the Internet: perceptions and use during COVID-19 confinement in Spain abstract This investigation explored the use of the Internet in Spain by young adults with intellectual disability who were active Internet users, as well as their perceptions and those of their relatives about the Internet’s potential benefits and risks for this population. Additionally, this study explored changes in these perceptions and the Internet use during the home confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A sample of 35 young adults with intellectual disability and one of their relatives, respectively (i.e. 35 relatives), completed an online survey during May 2020. Results indicated that young people with intellectual disability are aware of the potential risks to a limited extent. In addition, the participants with intellectual disability increased their Internet use and their perception of its benefits during confinement. However, their relatives gave greater importance to the potential risks, but scarcely supervised young adults with intellectual disability when accessing the Internet. We conclude that, beyond computer literacy and web access skills, young people with intellectual disability may need further training on how to identify and deal with the potential risks of the Internet use, and how to maximise its potential benefits. We also highlight the need to provide their relatives with more educational resources. Pablo Delgado, Inmaculada Fajardo, Beatriz Lucas, Antonio Ferrer, Vicenta Ávila	Behav. Inf. Technol.	2
2012	Shared online spreadsheets and hidden profiles: Technological effects on dyad decision strategy abstract We report a study in which dyads use Instant Messaging to agree a preference among a set of three apartments. The information given to participants is partially overlapping, and contains a “hidden profile” (HP), such that a single apartment emerges as the best according to an unweighted sum of feature values only if dyad members pool information that is presented to only one of them. When dyads were additionally provided with a shared online spreadsheet, their decision strategy was more likely to be compensatory and relatively exhaustive, even if the distribution of importance among the cues in which the apartments vary meant that a “fast and frugal” heuristic such as take-the-best would be a rational strategy. This study shows the potential of classic experimental tasks, the HP task in particular, for understanding technological constraints on group decision making and signals the importance of understanding decision-making strategies, and the potential of fast and frugal heuristics, for informing the design of decision support systems.

2009	Information structure and practice as facilitators of deaf users' navigation in textual websites abstract Deaf users might find it difficult to navigate through websites with textual content which, for many of them, constitutes the written representation of a non-native oral language. With the aim of testing how the information structure could compensate for this difficulty, 27 prelingual deaf users of sign language were asked to search a set of headlines in a web newspaper where information structure and practice were manipulated. While practice did not affect deep structures (web content distributed through four layers of nodes), wide structures (web content concentrated in two layers) did facilitate users' performance in the last trial block and compromised it in the first trial block. It is argued that wide structures generate a textual information overload for deaf users, which decreases with practice. Thus, wide structures seem preferable for websites requiring frequent use, rather than for those intended for occasional interaction. Inmaculada Fajardo, José J.

2009	Technology for supporting web information search and learning in Sign Language abstract Sign Languages (SL) are underrepresented in the digital world, which contributes to the digital divide for the Deaf Community. In this paper, our goal is twofold: (1) to review the implications of current SL generation technologies for two key user web tasks, information search and learning and (2) to propose a taxonomy of the technical and functional dimensions for categorizing those technologies. The review reveals that although contents can currently be portrayed in SL by means of videos of human signers or avatars, the debate about how bilingual (text and SL) versus SL-only websites affect signers’ comprehension of hypertext content emerges as an unresolved issue in need of further empirical research. The taxonomy highlights that videos of human signers are ecological but require a high-cost group of experts to perform text to SL translations, video editing and web uploading. Avatar technology, generally associated with automatic text-SL translators, reduces bandwidth requirements and human resources but it lacks reliability. The insights gained through this review may enable designers, educators or users to select the technology that best suits their goals. Inmaculada Fajardo, Markel Vigo, Ladislao Salmerón	Interact.

2006	Improving deaf users' accessibility in hypertext information retrieval: are graphical interfaces useful for them? abstract This paper explores the effect of substituting textual links for graphical ones on the performance of deaf signers in hypertext information retrieval (HIR). Both deaf and hearing users found more targets, were faster and became less disoriented in the verbal hypertext interface than in the graphical one. Deaf users were outperformed by hearing users in all conditions except in short paths with the graphical interface. The results and its applied consequences, which would be also relevant to other users with similar problems than those of deaf signers (elderly people, people with dyslexia, people navigating in a website using a foreign language or people with low literacy) are discussed in relation to the CoLiDeS model of web interaction (Kitajima et al. 2000 Kitajima, M., Blackmon, M. H. and Polson, P. G.A. 2000. “Comprehension-based model of Web navigation and its application to Web usability analysis”.

2005	Are expert users always better searchers? Interaction of expertise and semantic grouping in hypertext search tasks abstract The facilitative effect of expertise in hypertext information retrieval (IR) tasks has been widely reported in related literature. However, recent theories of human expertise question the robustness of this result, since previous works have not fully considered the interaction between user and system characteristics. In this study, the constraint attunement hypothesis (CAH) is considered in order to predict that the effect of expertise in IR would appear only when the user and system characteristics can be combined successfully. Results from an experiment revealed that expert users outperformed novice users in IR when the elements of a system interface are organized semantically, but not when organized randomly. Results are discussed in the framework of the CAH supporting the interactive nature of human behaviour in HCI. Ladislao Salmerón, José J. Cañas, Inmaculada Fajardo	Behav. Inf. Technol.	3
