This literature review evaluated early behavioral intervention studies of Autism Spectrum disorder (ASD) based on their participant exclusion criteria. The studies included were found through searching PsycINFO and PubMed databases, and discussed behavioral interventions for children up to 5 years of age with ASD and utilized a group research design. Studies reviewed were categorized into three groups: Restrictive exclusion criteria, loosely defined exclusion criteria, and exclusion criteria not defined. Results indicated that studies that used restrictive exclusion criteria demonstrated greater differences in terms of outcomes between experimental and control groups in comparison to studies that used loosely defined exclusion criteria and/or did not define any exclusion criteria. We discussed implications for the generalizability of the studies' outcomes in relationship to exclusion criteria.
这篇文献综述根据参与者排除标准评估了自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的早期行为干预研究。通过检索PsycINFO和PubMed数据库找到了所纳入的研究，这些研究讨论了针对5岁及以下ASD儿童的行为干预，并采用了组间研究设计。所综述的研究分为三组：严格的排除标准、定义宽松的排除标准和未定义排除标准。结果表明，与使用定义宽松的排除标准和/或未定义任何排除标准的研究相比，使用严格排除标准的研究在实验组和对照组的结果方面表现出更大的差异。我们讨论了研究结果的普遍性与排除标准之间的关系。
