INTELLIGENT EARLY LANGUAGE INTERVENTION SYSTEM

在临床上，语言习得的显著延迟是最多的 学龄前儿童普遍存在的发展问题。早些时候 干预是至关重要的，因为语言迟缓的儿童在很大程度上 学习障碍和行为障碍的风险增加，但 干预资源稀缺，不足以提供 有效干预所需的强化个体化教学。 本项目的目标是开发一种基于计算机的智能 早期语言干预系统将补充 那些与语言障碍儿童一起工作的人。系统将 将传统干预方法与源自 当代语言学理论，并将纳入一种智慧 使用人工智能的计算机辅助培训(ICAT)系统 生成基于 个人~S表演。在第一阶段，我们开发并现场测试了 原型系统。我们的第二阶段目标是：(A)进一步发展 原型活动，(B)为儿童制定额外的活动， 语言开发的后期阶段，现场测试和验证 方案组成部分的有效性，以及(D)整合所有组成部分 进入ICAT框架。我们预计这一系统将是一项资产 提供给临床服务提供者、教师和家长 有语言障碍的儿童。

Clinically significant delays in the acquisition of language are the most prevalent developmental problem in preschool children. Early intervention is crucial since children with language delays are at greatly increased risk for learning disabilities and behavioral disorders, but intervention resources are scarce and not sufficient to provide the intensive individualized instruction that effective intervention requires. The objective of this project is to develop a computer-based Intelligent Early Language Intervention System that will supplement the efforts of those who work with language impaired children. The system will combine traditional intervention methods with strategies derived from contemporary linguistic theory, and will incorporate an intelligent computer-aided training (ICAT) system that uses artificial intelligence to generate customized language intervention strategies based on an individual~s performance. In Phase I we developed and field tested a prototype system. Our Phase II objectives are to (a) further develop the prototype activities, (b) develop additional activities for children at later stages of language development, ' field test and validate the effectiveness of program components, and (d) integrate all components into the ICAT framework. We anticipate this system will be an asset to clinical service providers, teachers, and parents who work with children who have language impairments.
