We evaluated the authorship of messages produced through facilitated communication by 7 adults with moderate or severe mental retardation and their facilitators. The clients had been reported to be communicating fluently through facilitated communication. We controlled the facilitators' access to information to be communicated in two evaluation formats, naming pictures and describing activities. In both formats we conducted three conditions: (a) the facilitator and client had access to the same information, (b) the facilitator did not have access to the picture or activity, and (c) the facilitator was given false information about the picture or activity. The results showed that the clients typed the correct answer only when the facilitator had access to the same information, never typed the correct answer when the facilitator had no information or false information, and typed the picture or activity presented to the facilitator when it was different from the one experienced by the client. These results provide unequivocal evidence for facilitator control of typing during facilitated communication.
我们评估了7名中度或重度智力障碍成年人及其协助者通过辅助沟通产生的信息的作者身份。据报道，这些客户通过辅助沟通能够流畅地进行交流。我们以两种评估形式控制协助者获取要交流的信息，即命名图片和描述活动。在这两种形式中，我们都设置了三种情况：(a) 协助者和客户获取相同的信息；(b) 协助者无法获取图片或活动信息；(c) 协助者被给予关于图片或活动的错误信息。结果显示，只有当协助者获取相同信息时，客户才会打出正确答案；当协助者没有信息或有错误信息时，客户从未打出正确答案；当呈现给协助者的图片或活动与客户所经历的不同时，客户打出的是呈现给协助者的图片或活动。这些结果为辅助沟通期间协助者对打字的控制提供了明确的证据。
