應用凱比機器人於語言發展遲緩兒童理解與表達之探究

A Study on Using AI Robots to Improve the Language Understanding and Expression Ability of Children with Speech Delay

本研究旨在探討運用AI機器人的多元感知、智能、以及其高互動性人機介面功能的介入，讓語言發展遲緩兒童透過重複練習、重覆操作下能逐步提升理解和表達能力。研究採單一受試之A-B-C撤回設計，研究個案為6歲4個月發展遲緩男童，研究進行2個月教學介入，本研究設計5項目標行為，包含專注力、打招呼、非口語需求回應、口語需求回應、以及守規則，以自編機器人教學活動觀察量表來蒐集和分析個案的學習成效，並輔以主要照顧者的訪談來綜合評估上述目標行為的改善狀況。研究結果如下：(1)凱比機器人介入教學之前後測比較結果有微幅提升。(2)凱比機器人介入教學後間接促進發展遲緩兒童的理解與表達學習過程的專注力。(3)本研究之5項目標行為直接或間接獲得程度不一的改善和進步。(4)主要照顧者對凱比機器人介入教學成效感到滿意。

This research aims to explore the effectiveness of AI robot intervention in teaching on the language understanding and expression abilities of children with speech delay. The research adopts a single subject withdrawal design, the subjects of this study is a child with speech delay of 6 years and 4 months’boy. The research was conducted for 2 months and adopted self-made observation record of robot teaching which was used to collect and analyze the language understanding and expression ability of the subjects. The research results are as follows: (1) there was a slight improvement in the pre- and post-test comparison results of Kebbi robot intervention in teaching. (2) Kebbi Robot intervenes in teaching indirectly promotes children with developmental delays to understand and express their concentration in the learning process. (3) the five target behaviors of this study have directly or indirectly achieved varying degrees of improvement and progress. (4) the main caregiver is satisfied with the effectiveness of Kebbi robot interventional teaching.
