A long-term follow-up of echolalia and correct question answering was conducted for 6 subjects from three previously published studies. The follow-up periods ranged from 26 to 57 months. In a training site follow-up, subjects were exposed to baseline/posttraining conditions in which the original trainer and/or a novel person(s) presented trained and untrained questions. Four subjects displayed echolalia below baseline levels, and another did so in some assessments. Overall, echolalia was lower than in baseline in 80.6% of the follow-ups. Five subjects displayed correct responding above baseline levels. No clear differences were noted in correct responding or echolalia between the trainer and novel-person presentations or between trained and untrained questions. In a follow-up in a natural environment conducted by a novel person, lower than baseline levels of echolalia were displayed by 3 subjects; 2 subjects displayed lower than baseline levels in some assessments. Two subjects consistently displayed correct responding above baseline, and 3 did so occasionally. Issues related to the study of maintenance are discussed.
对之前发表的三项研究中的6名受试者进行了关于模仿言语和正确回答问题的长期随访。随访期为26至57个月。在一个训练场所的随访中，受试者经历了基线/训练后条件，即由原来的训练者和/或新的人员提出已训练和未训练的问题。4名受试者的模仿言语低于基线水平，另一名受试者在某些评估中也是如此。总体而言，在80.6%的随访中，模仿言语低于基线水平。5名受试者的正确反应高于基线水平。在训练者和新人员的呈现之间，或在已训练和未训练的问题之间，在正确反应或模仿言语方面未发现明显差异。在由新人员在自然环境中进行的随访中，3名受试者的模仿言语低于基线水平；2名受试者在某些评估中低于基线水平。2名受试者始终表现出高于基线的正确反应，3名受试者偶尔如此。讨论了与维持研究相关的问题。
