视觉辅助工具广泛应用于广泛性发育障碍和智力障碍患者的辅助和替代交流（AAC）。为了满足其复杂的通信需求，各种AAC系统被开发为移动应用程序（app）。这些应用程序的有效性主要依赖于通信同伴的能力。说服技术旨在改变行为和态度。为了增加用口头信息呈现视觉辅助的频率，我们在设计名为“STalk2”的移动AAC应用程序时应用了说服原则。该应用程序能够识别语音并呈现存储在本地数据库中的视觉辅助工具，并/或通过网络上的图像搜索进行检索；它还监测通信活动。在本研究中，我们检查了使用STalk2对5名CCN儿童和11名同龄人的行为和态度的影响。特别注意分析问卷、日记和从同伴那里获得的录像。结果表明，说服技术在AAC系统中可能有效地改善沟通行为和态度。
Visual aids are widely used in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) for individuals with pervasive developmental and intellectual disabilities. To satisfy their complex communication needs, a variety of AAC systems have been developed as mobile applications (apps). The effectiveness of these apps mainly relies on the abilities of communication peers. Persuasive technology is aimed at changing behaviors and attitudes. In order to increase the frequency of presenting visual aids with verbal messages, we applied persuasive principles in designing the mobile AAC app named “STalk2.” The app is capable of recognizing voice and presenting visual aids stored in a local database and/or retrieved by image search on the web; it also monitors communication activities. In this study, we examined the effects of using STalk2 on the behaviors and attitudes of five children with CCN and eleven of their peers. Special attention was paid to analyzing questionnaires, diaries, and video recordings obtained from peers. The results suggest that persuasive technology in AAC systems may be effective in improving communication behaviors and attitudes.
