我们与住在养老院的老年人进行了视频电话对话，以发现他们的语言能力是否通过重复的远程对话得到了改善。对照组由5名老年人组成。实验组由六名老年人组成，其中包括三名痴呆症患者。他们参加了三次可视电话对话，并在对话前后测量了他们的语言能力。在会议期间，与会者和志愿者谈论了自己，并参加了一个测验。在实验组中，产生的平均单词数在会话后从4.8增加到6.5（P < 0.05）;在对照组中没有观察到这种增加。实验组在间接对话后产生的单词也有所改善。可视电话对话似乎对语言能力有一些积极的影响，可能有利于老年人的认知康复。
Summary We conducted videophone conversations with elderly adults living in a nursing home to discover whether their verbal ability was improved by repeated remote conversations. The control group comprised five elderly adults. The experimental group comprised six elderly adults, including three patients with dementia. They took part in three videophone conversations and their verbal ability was measured before and after the conversations. During the sessions, the participants and volunteers talked about themselves and participated in a quiz. In the experimental group, the mean number of words generated increased from 4.8 to 6.5 after the session (P < 0.05); this increase was not observed in the control group. The experimental group also showed an improvement in words generated after indirect conversations. Videophone conversations appear to have some positive effects on verbal ability and may be beneficial in the cognitive rehabilitation of elderly adults.
