Self-directed speech is considered an important developmental achievement as a self-regulatory mediator of thinking and behavior. Atypical self-directed speech is often implicated in the self-regulatory challenges characteristic of children with neurodevelopmental disorders. A growing body of evidence provides snapshots across age-levels and diagnoses, often presenting conflicting results. This systematic review is undertaken to impose clarity on the nature, extent, and self-regulatory implications of self-directed speech interruption in children with developmental language disorder (DLD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).A rigorous search process of relevant databases (i.e., PsychInfo, PubMed, CINAHL, ERIC) uncovered 19 relevant peer-reviewed articles that investigate self-directed speech in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Consistent across the research, children with DLD, ASD, and ADHD present with differential development and use of self-directed speech.In its synthesis of findings, this systematic review clearly explicates the differential ontogenesis of self-directed speech in neurodevelopmental disorders and interprets the self-regulatory implications for children with DLD, ASD, and ADHD. Furthermore, the review spotlights important future research directions to better understand the mechanistic relationship between self-directed speech and self-regulation.
自我言语被认为是思维和行为的自我调节中介的一个重要发展成就。非典型的自我言语常常涉及到神经发育障碍儿童的自我调节挑战。越来越多的证据提供了跨越年龄和诊断的快照，这些证据往往存在冲突。本系统综述旨在阐明发展性语言障碍（DLD）、自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）和注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）儿童自我言语中断的性质、程度和自我调节意义。通过对相关数据库（即 PsychInfo、PubMed、CINAHL、ERIC）进行严格的搜索，共发现了 19 篇有关神经发育障碍儿童自我言语的相关同行评议文章。研究一致表明，DLD、ASD 和 ADHD 儿童的自我言语发展和使用存在差异。在对研究结果进行综合分析时，本系统综述清楚地阐明了神经发育障碍中自我言语的差异发生，并解释了 DLD、ASD 和 ADHD 儿童的自我调节意义。此外，该综述还强调了重要的未来研究方向，以更好地理解自我言语和自我调节之间的机制关系。
