COMPUTER RESEARCH AND INSTRUCTION IN HANDWRITING

我们建议开发基于计算机的仪器来记录，分析， 和训练图形运动性能。该系统将包括图形 记录笔的位置的平板电脑， 用于培训和复印的透明触敏膜 程序和语音输出系统提供口头提示。系统 将能够（1）记录产品和过程， 手写，（2）通过减少记录的数据和生成 业绩记录和（3）提供培训：我们建议实地测试 本仪器用两组儿童：（1）正常儿童， 在马萨诸塞州韦兰的一所小学，一年级到三年级。和 (2)学习障碍中心的学习障碍儿童， 西北大学。

We propose to develop computer-based instrumentation to record, analyze, and train grapho-motor performance. The system will include a graphics tablet for recording pen positions, a flat- screen monitor covered by a transparent, touch-sensitive membrane for use in training and copying procedures, and a speech-output system to provide verbal cues. The system will be able to (1) record both the product and the process of handwriting, (2) enable analysis by reducing recorded data and generating records of performance and (3) provide training: We propose to field-test this instrumentation with two groups of children: (1) normal children, grades one through three, in an elementary school in Wayland, Mass. and (2) learning disabled children at the Learning Disabilities Center at Northwestern University.
