This study evaluated the communicative interaction skills of seven young men (ages 19-23 years) who had used AAC systems for at least 15 years. Turn-taking patterns, use of communicative functions, and linguistic complexity were analyzed. Current performance was compared to the participants' skills when they were preschoolers and participated in another study of interaction skills (Light, 1985; Light, Collier, & Parnes, 1985a,b,c). Results indicated that the turn distribution between partners was more equitable than it had been when the participants were preschoolers; five of the participants approached reciprocity in turn taking during at least two of the interactions observed. During interactions with their caregivers, the participants fulfilled most of their obligatory turns and more than half of their non-obligatory turns. The communicative functions used most frequently by the participants were confirmations/denials and provisions of information. Three of the participants demonstrated the ability to use complete and complex syntax and committed few errors in grammar, while the other four participants demonstrated many syntactic errors. The results are discussed with implications for clinical practice and directions for future research.
本研究评估了7名至少使用辅助沟通系统15年的年轻男性（年龄在19至23岁之间）的沟通互动技能。分析了轮流模式、沟通功能的使用情况以及语言复杂性。将当前的表现与参与者在学龄前儿童时期参与另一项互动技能研究时的技能进行了比较（莱特，1985年；莱特、科利尔和帕内斯，1985年a、b、c）。结果表明，与参与者学龄前儿童时期相比，伙伴之间的轮流分布更加公平；在观察到的至少两次互动中，有5名参与者在轮流方面接近对等。在与照顾者的互动中，参与者完成了大部分的必要轮流和超过一半的非必要轮流。参与者最常使用的沟通功能是确认/否认和提供信息。其中3名参与者表现出使用完整和复杂句法的能力，语法错误很少，而其他4名参与者则出现了许多句法错误。讨论了研究结果对临床实践的启示以及未来研究的方向。
