Researchers and clinicians have recommended that sign language be taught to typically developing children during their first 2 years of life; however, existing research does not provide adequate information regarding appropriate methods of sign training. We used delayed physical prompting and reinforcement to teach manual signs to 3 children between the ages of 6 and 13 months. Data were collected on the occurrence of prompted and independent signs as well as crying. Sign training was successful in producing independent signing in all 3 children in under 4 hr of training per child.
研究人员和临床医生建议，在正常发育的儿童生命的头两年教他们手语；然而，现有研究并未提供有关手语训练适当方法的充分信息。我们使用延迟身体提示和强化的方法，向3名6至13个月大的儿童教授手势。收集了有关提示性和自主性手势以及哭闹情况的数据。手语训练成功地使所有3名儿童在每个儿童不到4小时的训练时间内就能够自主做出手势。
