Intentional communication has previously been identified as a value-added predictor of expressive language in preverbal preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder. In the present study, we sought to identify value-added predictors of intentional communication. Of five theoretically-motivated putative predictors of intentional communication measured early in the study (at study entry and 4 months after), three had significant zero-order correlations with later intentional communication (12 months after study entry) and were thus added to a linear model that predicted later intentional communication scores controlling for initial intentional communication scores at study entry. After controlling for initial intentional communication, early motor imitation was the only predictor that accounted for a significant amount of variance in children's later intentional communication.
有意沟通先前已被确定为患有自闭症谱系障碍的学前儿童表达性语言的一个增值预测指标。在本研究中，我们试图确定有意沟通的增值预测指标。在研究早期（研究开始时和之后4个月）测量的五个基于理论的有意沟通假定预测指标中，有三个与后期的有意沟通（研究开始后12个月）有显著的零阶相关性，因此被纳入一个线性模型，该模型预测后期有意沟通得分时控制研究开始时的初始有意沟通得分。在控制了初始有意沟通之后，早期运动模仿是唯一能解释儿童后期有意沟通中大量变异的预测指标。
