We studied the association between an adult's behavior and episodes of social engagement (ESEs) in young children with autism during play-based assessment. ESEs were defined as events in which a child looked toward the adult's face and simultaneously showed an additional form of communicative behavior. The adult's behavior before each ESE, and before time-sampled control periods, was rated using Coding Active Sociability in Preschoolers with Autism (CASPA). As predicted, adult musical/motoric activity, communications that followed the child's focus of attention, scaffolding through social routines, imitations of the child, and adult repetitions were significantly more prevalent before ESEs, but cognitive assessment activities, adult inactivity, and "ignoring" were significantly less prevalent. We consider the implications for understanding the developmental psychopathology of autism.
我们在基于游戏的评估中研究了自闭症幼儿的成人行为与社交互动事件(ESEs)之间的关联。ESEs被定义为儿童看向成人面部并同时表现出另一种交流行为形式的事件。使用自闭症学龄前儿童主动社交能力编码(CASPA)对每次ESE之前以及时间抽样控制期之前的成人行为进行评分。正如预测的那样,成人的音乐/运动活动、跟随儿童注意力焦点的交流、通过社交常规进行的支架搭建、对儿童的模仿以及成人的重复行为在ESEs之前显著更普遍,但认知评估活动、成人不活动和“忽视”则显著不那么普遍。我们考虑了这些结果对于理解自闭症发展性精神病理学的意义。
