D2.4.2 Evaluation of Prototype 1 and Requirements for Prototype 2 - in the perspective of Cognitive Psychology: Reports findings from testing of HANDS prototype 2, from research activities done in Work Package 2 (Cognitive Psychology), coordinated by research teams at ELTE untiversity, Budapest, and Autism Foundation, Budapest. Following and introdoctory overview of the applied Methodology, it summarises the results from four primary sources: (1) skill-level findings from at controlled efficiency testing by the Social Responsiveness Scale; (2) pilot results from a methodological study by the newly-developed Experimental Task Analysi; (3) two eye-tracking studies, one of them a methodological pilot study; (4) informal user experiences at Autism Foundation. Beyong reporting findings about prototype 1, the document introduces the newly-developed ETA and dynamic eye-tracking methods, and formulates recommendations and requirements for the forthcoming Prototype 2 of the HANDS software system.
