Finding quantifiable indicators to characterize the population with Autistic Disorder (ASD) is a priority to advance knowledge of the condition. For this reason, measures such as Electrodermal Activity (EDA) in Immersive Virtual Environments (EVI) can report objective measures obtained in contexts with the ability to obtain a response similar to that of reality. The objective of this study was to study the usability of an EVI and an EDA bracelet and which phases of it have the capacity to detect the ASD population in a multisensory stimulation context. A mixed experimental design was carried out with a between-subjects factor and a within-subjects factor. For this, there was a sample of 46 ASD participants and 40 normotypical. The results show a high adaptability of use of the EVI and the EDA measurement bracelet. In addition, the Ratio measure was the one that obtained the ability to differentiate the physiological behavior between groups. Therefore, these devices are susceptible in their clinical generalization, while the Ratio measure points to a greater perception of odors by the ASD population, which can be studied as an indicator of the condition.

This paper is a bibliometric analisys of articles where it was considered that the electrodermic activity will be applied to varying areas of psychology. The objective is to analyze articles that have implemented in their studies, the physiological measurement of electrodermal activity in psychological processes. The databases that were used were, Google academic, EBSCO host, Elibro, ScienceDirect, in which keywords were used as electrodermal, conductance of skin, dermal conductance, galvanic skin response, electrodermal response, electrical skin activity, galvanic skin conductance, electrodermal response, skin electrical activity, galvanic skin conductance, electrodermal conductance, galvanic response and skin temperature, and in English, galvanic skin response, skin conductance responses and skin conductance. In this case, we found studies related to neuromarketing, detection of deception, violence, music, decision making, classical conditioning in humans, neurofeedback and biofeedback, aggression and affective dysregulation. The analysis showed that, in these psychological processes, the electrodermal activity is a measure that contributes in large part to the development of psychology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
