Abstract

Lay abstract: In research, language ability has historically been measured using structured tasks in laboratory settings. In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on the need to instead capture language ability in an individual's natural setting (i.e. through social interaction or in their home). Considering natural language may be particularly important for the autistic population, as an autistic child's language ability can be very different depending on the setting. One common tool for capturing natural language is the LENA recording system, which takes audio recordings over long periods of time and provides estimates of children's and caregivers' speech. The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize the use of LENA in autism research, to highlight the strengths and limitations of the system as identified by researchers, and to provide recommendations for future research and clinical use. We identified 42 autism studies that used LENA in a variety of ways and settings. Most studies used LENA within the guidelines put forth by its creators, and it was most commonly used to understand speech or speech development for autistic children. LENA is a useful tool for clinicians and caregivers to gain some insights into child speech, but those considering using it should be aware of concerns about its accuracy and limitations about the information it provides. In this review, we supplement the official LENA guidelines with specific suggestions for use with the autistic population.

语言环境分析在自闭症研究中的应用:系统回顾。
内容提要:在研究中,语言能力历来是在实验室环境中通过结构化任务来测量的。近年来,人们越来越强调需要在个人的自然环境中(即通过社交互动或在家中)捕捉语言能力。考虑自然语言对自闭症患者尤为重要,因为自闭症儿童的语言能力可能因环境不同而大相径庭。采集自然语言的常用工具之一是 LENA 录音系统,该系统可进行长时间录音,并提供儿童和照护者的语言估计值。本系统综述旨在总结 LENA 在自闭症研究中的使用情况,强调研究人员发现的该系统的优势和局限性,并为未来研究和临床使用提供建议。我们确定了 42 项自闭症研究,这些研究以不同的方式和环境使用了 LENA。大多数研究在其创建者提出的指导原则范围内使用 LENA,最常用于了解自闭症儿童的言语或言语发展情况。LENA 是临床医生和护理人员了解儿童言语的有用工具,但考虑使用它的人应注意其准确性和所提供信息的局限性。在本综述中,我们对官方 LENA 指南进行了补充,并提出了用于自闭症人群的具体建议。

期刊介绍: Autism is a major, peer-reviewed, international journal, published 8 times a year, publishing research of direct and practical relevance to help improve the quality of life for individuals with autism or autism-related disorders. It is interdisciplinary in nature, focusing on research in many areas, including: intervention; diagnosis; training; education; translational issues related to neuroscience, medical and genetic issues of practical import; psychological processes; evaluation of particular therapies; quality of life; family needs; and epidemiological research. Autism provides a major international forum for peer-reviewed research of direct and practical relevance to improving the quality of life for individuals with autism or autism-related disorders. The journal''s success and popularity reflect the recent worldwide growth in the research and understanding of autistic spectrum disorders, and the consequent impact on the provision of treatment and care. Autism is interdisciplinary in nature, focusing on evaluative research in all areas, including: intervention, diagnosis, training, education, neuroscience, psychological processes, evaluation of particular therapies, quality of life issues, family issues and family services, medical and genetic issues, epidemiological research.
