The current study examined the effect of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), a parent-training intervention for child behavior problems, on child language production. Participants were 46 children (ages 20-70 months) with externalizing behavior problems and with or at risk for developmental delay. Parent-child dyads were randomly assigned to a waitlist control or immediate treatment group. Parenting skills learned during PCIT (i.e., "do skills") and children's word tokens and word types were measured at baseline and 4 months later. Findings suggest an indirect effect of parent do skills on the relation between group and child word types, such that more parent do skills predicted more child word types for families receiving PCIT. The present study found that mothers' use of child-directed skills played an important role in the growth and improvement of child language. Results suggest that parent-training interventions targeting child behavior problems may also foster child language production.
本研究考察了亲子互动疗法（PCIT）——一种针对儿童行为问题的家长培训干预措施——对儿童语言表达的影响。研究参与者为46名有外化行为问题且有发育迟缓或有发育迟缓风险的儿童（年龄在20至70个月之间）。亲子二元组被随机分配到等待名单对照组或立即治疗组。在基线和4个月后测量了在PCIT期间学到的育儿技能（即“执行技能”）以及儿童的单词标记和单词类型。研究结果表明，家长执行技能对组与儿童单词类型之间的关系有间接影响，即对于接受PCIT的家庭而言，更多的家长执行技能预示着儿童有更多的单词类型。本研究发现，母亲对儿童导向技能的运用在儿童语言的发展和改善中发挥了重要作用。结果表明，针对儿童行为问题的家长培训干预措施也可能促进儿童语言表达。
