背景：为了促进中度至重度失语症患者的对话，开发了对话支持系统。该系统由三个电子资源组成：词汇数据文件、百科全书和互联网主页。我们创建的词汇数据文件包含大约 50,000 个单词，主要由各种专有名称组成，分为 10 个类别。这些词在对话中充当关键词。桑原和宏目前就职于立命馆大学。 Tamotsu Kasyo、Toshikazu Kubo、Chotaro Sindo 和 Kazuo Herai 将单词输入词汇数据文件。 i Kobo Inc. 将文本数据文件转换为 HTML 文件。内田稔将这些文件上传到互联网上。我们还要感谢以下人士的帮助：Kazuyoshi Niizumi、Wakako Suzuki、Jyunichi Oura、Akiko Iwamoto、Rie Ishida、Kaname Tate、Midori Abe、Motoshi Uchimura、Tetsuo Nakamura 和 Yoshihiro Sakon。我们要特别感谢博比·贝克曼。这项研究得到了国家信息和通信技术研究所 (NICT) 的部分支持。目的：评估三种资源从失语症患者那里获取新信息的有效性。方法和程序：15 名患有不流利和中重度失语症的人参加了实验。参与者与他们的沟通伙伴就使用和非使用条件下的四个主题进行了交谈。在使用条件下，合作伙伴在个人计算机的屏幕上显示三个资源之一的页面。参与者被要求选择页面上的单词，或使用其他方式（口头或非口头）来回答问题。三名评估员对正确传达的信息打分。结果与结果：使用和不使用条件之间的点比较表明，使用词汇数据文件时传达的信息明显更多。另一方面，在使用百科全书或主页的使用条件下，积分数量没有增加。结论：词汇日期文件成功地在有限的时间内从中度至重度失语症患者那里获取了更多信息。对于中度至重度失语症患者来说，与主题相关的关键词或专有名称列表的呈现被证明是有用的对话资源。至于百科全书和主页，还需要进一步研究以确定这些资源与数据文件的配合是否可以进一步促进对话。
Background: In order to facilitate conversation for people with moderate‐to‐severe aphasia, a conversation‐support system has been developed. This system consists of three electronic resources: a vocabulary data file, an encyclopaedia, and homepages on the Internet. The vocabulary data file we created contains approximately 50,000 words, mostly consisting of various proper names, which are classified into 10 categories. These words function as keywords in conversation. Kazuhiro Kuwabara is currently with Ritsumeikan University. Tamotsu Kasyo, Toshikazu Kubo, Chotaro Sindo, and Kazuo Herai entered words into the vocabulary data file. i Kobo Inc. converted the text data files into HTML files. Minoru Uchida uploaded the files to the Internet. We are also indebted to the following people for their assistance: Kazuyoshi Niizumi, Wakako Suzuki, Jyunichi Oura, Akiko Iwamoto, Rie Ishida, Kaname Tate, Midori Abe, Motoshi Uchimura, Tetsuo Nakamura, and Yoshihiro Sakon. We wish to express special thanks to Bobbie Beckman. This study was supported in part by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of the three resources in eliciting new information from people with aphasia. Methods & Procedures: Fifteen people with non‐fluent and moderate‐to‐severe aphasia participated in the experiment. Participants conversed with their communication partners about four topics under use and non‐use conditions. Under the use condition, partners showed pages from one of the three resources on the screen of a personal computer. Participants were asked to select words on the pages, or use other modalities (verbal or nonverbal), to answer questions. Three evaluators gave points for information conveyed correctly. Outcomes & Results: Comparison of the points between the use and non‐use conditions showed that significantly more information was conveyed when the vocabulary data file was used. On the other hand, the amount of points did not increase in the use condition using the encyclopaedia or homepages. Conclusions: The vocabulary date file succeeded in eliciting more information from people with moderate‐to‐severe aphasia within a limited timeframe. Presentation of the keyword or proper name lists related to the topics was shown to be a useful conversation resource for people with moderate‐to‐severe aphasia. As for the encyclopaedia and homepages, further research is required to determine whether or not these resources in collaboration with the data file can further facilitate conversation.
