Abstract

Research has shown that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) display limited imitation recognition behaviors in comparison with typically developing children. However, the levels of imitation recognition of minimally verbal children with ASD relative to those with developmental disabilities are unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare the imitation recognition behaviors of 20 minimally verbal children with ASD and 20 minimally verbal children with Down syndrome (DS) when imitated by an adult in a play context. Results showed that children with ASD display more limited imitation recognition than children with DS. These results indicate that children with ASD are weaker in displaying imitation recognition. However, both groups displayed an association between imitation recognition and a variety of play actions in both groups.

最小语言幼儿的模仿识别:唐氏综合症和自闭症谱系障碍的比较

研究表明，与正常发育的儿童相比，自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童的模仿识别行为有限。然而，与发育障碍儿童相比，言语能力最低的ASD儿童的模仿识别水平尚不清楚。本研究的目的是比较20名言语能力最低的ASD儿童和20名言语能力最低的唐氏综合症儿童在游戏环境中被成人模仿时的模仿识别行为。结果表明，ASD患儿比DS患儿表现出更有限的模仿识别能力。这些结果表明，ASD患儿的模仿识别能力较弱。然而，两组都表现出模仿识别和各种游戏动作之间的联系。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
