儿童沟通障碍的急剧增加增加，增加了对密集、容易获得和低成本干预措施以及新的评估和治疗工具的需求。我们的研究旨在探索使用会话代理（CA），以支持语言障碍儿童的语言评估和培训。在这个竞技场中的一个开放的研究问题是确定最合适的形式的“体现”的CA的儿童进行互动。为此，我们评估了14个神经典型的儿童和3名儿童语言障碍的语言表现比较不同的CA-物理对象和虚拟字符-与“传统”的人类互动。基于我们的分析，我们确定的见解CA的设计：身体确实影响语言障碍儿童的语言任务的表现。此外，儿童似乎表现出对物理CA的偏好，并认为它比虚拟CA更聪明。
The dramatic increment of communication impairments among children increases the demand for intensive, highly accessible and low-cost interventions as well as new assessment and therapeutic tools. Our research aims at exploring the use of Conversational Agents (CAs) to support linguistic assessment and training among children with language impairment. One of the open research issues in this arena concerns the identification of the most appropriate form of "embodiment" of the CA for children to interact with. To this end, we evaluated the linguistic performance of 14 neuro-typical children and 3 children with language impairment comparing different CAs - physical object and virtual character - with "traditional" human interaction. Based on our analysis, we identify insights for the design of CA: the physicality does influence the performance of linguistic tasks for children with linguistic impairment. In addition, children seem to show a preference for the physical CA and perceived it as smarter than the virtual one.
