This study examined the effects of manipulating establishing operations on the frequency of initiations of three children with autism toward peers with autism. The EO targeted was deprivation of preferred edibles, and the target initiation was a mand for the preferred snack. A reversal design was used to assess the effects of the EO conditions on frequency of initiations. Results indicated that when the EO was absent, no spontaneous initiations toward the peer occurred. Two participants required training sessions with an adult to transfer initiations toward peers. Once the EO had been established and was present, the participants initiated mands for the snack. Results are discussed in terms of implications for the use of establishing operations in language training for children with autism.
本研究考察了操控建立操作对三名自闭症儿童与自闭症同伴互动发起频率的影响。所针对的建立操作是剥夺喜爱的食物，目标发起行为是要求得到喜爱的零食。采用反转设计来评估建立操作条件对发起频率的影响。结果表明，当不存在建立操作时，未出现对同伴的自发发起行为。两名参与者需要与成人进行训练课程，以便将发起行为转移到同伴身上。一旦建立操作得以确立并存在，参与者就会发起对零食的要求。根据建立操作在自闭症儿童语言训练中的应用意义对结果进行了讨论。
