Understanding the storytelling of older adults for AAC system design
Abstract
The author examined the storytelling patterns of older adults in order to understand the complexities of this type of communication. Through in-depth analysis of 28 audiotaped language samples, field notes, and interviews with family members and other related professionals, specific configurations of storytelling surfaced and a grounded theory of this style of communication within everyday conversation emerged. Study outcomes include identification of three different ways of telling stories (individual monologue, contributed group stories, and evolving theme repeated stories), some consistent structures (introductory and summation phrases), and a predominant reference to both past and present within the stories. The stories were also found to serve the purpose of transmitting cultural values within three subcategories: usefulness, connections, and philosophy. The data reveal important insights into the sophisticated manner by which information is transmitted through the stories of older adults. These insights may be used to enhance the design of augmentative and alternative communication systems for older adults who have temporarily or permanently lost their ability to interact verbally.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
