Abstract

Deficits in communicating one's wants and needs can have significant and detrimental effects on quality of life. Particularly for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other related disabilities, manding is a pivotal skill that influences long-term prognosis. Mand training is complex and relies on several components to facilitate acquisition. Various approaches have been developed to target this pivotal repertoire; however, it is unknown if there are common elements, or "critical components," among interventions. Identifying these components may support the design of mand training interventions for young children that are efficient and effective. In this systematic review, we synthesized the characteristics of 118 participants included in 45 single-case studies teaching preschool-aged children to mand. Findings indicated that most studies conduct preference assessments to inform target selection, manipulate motivating operations, and deliver specific reinforcement following the emission of the mand. This review reveals a gap in observing behavioral indication, teaching under both establishing operation (EO) and abolishing operation (AO) conditions, and failure to observe interactions with the consequent stimulus. Overall, the results suggest differences in the variables included in mand training interventions and those critical to acquisition of a functional mand repertoire cannot be determined. We discuss implications and directions for future research.

管理培训干预中包含的环境变量综述。

在沟通一个人的需求和需求方面的缺陷会对生活质量产生重大而有害的影响。特别是对于患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）和其他相关残疾的个体，强制是影响长期预后的关键技能。Mand训练是复杂的，并且依赖于几个组成部分来促进获取。针对这一关键曲目已经制定了各种方法；然而，目前尚不清楚干预措施中是否存在共同因素或“关键因素”。确定这些组成部分可能有助于为幼儿设计高效和有效的培训干预措施。在这篇系统综述中，我们综合了45个单案例研究中118名参与者的特征。研究结果表明，大多数研究进行偏好评估，以告知目标选择，操纵激励操作，并在命令发出后提供特定的强化。研究发现，在行为指示的观察、建立操作条件和废除操作条件下的教学、与后续刺激的相互作用的观察等方面存在空白。总体而言，研究结果表明，在指令训练干预措施中包含的变量和那些对获得功能性指令库至关重要的变量之间的差异无法确定。我们讨论了未来研究的意义和方向。补充信息：在线版本包含补充资料，下载地址为10.1007/s40616-024-00211-9。

期刊介绍： The Analysis of Verbal Behavior (TAVB) is an official publication of the Association for Behavior Analysis International. The Mission of the journal is to support the dissemination of innovative empirical research, theoretical conceptualizations, and real-world applications of the behavioral science of language. The journal embraces diverse perspectives of human language, its conceptual underpinnings, and the utility such diversity affords. TAVB values contributions that represent the scope of field and breadth of populations behavior analysts serve, and Is the premier publication outlet that fosters increased dialogue between scientists and scientist-practitioners. Articles addressing the following topics are encouraged: language acquisition, verbal operants, relational frames, naming, rule-governed behavior, epistemology, language assessment and training, bilingualism, verbal behavior of nonhumans, research methodology, or any other topic that addresses the analysis of language from a behavior analytic perspective.
