This research attempted to quantify the change in the total time of communication engagement while children with IDs participated the interactive programs in the Multisensory Environment where olfactory and sound stimuli were controlled. The result showed that the use of green scent and also the combination of green scent and high-resolution nature sound in ME helped children with IDs to get engaged much longer in the communication with the teacher and performed less agitated and disoriented behaviors.
(本研究では知的障害のある児童を対象とし、green scentと高解像度の自然音を用いた多感覚的空間の中での活動への集中時間を調べることを目的とした。その結果、green scentと高解像度の自然音の両方を用いた環境において最も集中時間と活動への参加時間が長いことが明らかになった。Snoezelen環境の一つとしての導入が示唆された。）
