Sentence repetition tasks (SRTs) have been widely used in language development research for decades. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in studying performance in SRTs as a clinical marker for language impairment. What are the characteristics of SRTs? For what purposes have SRTs been used? To what extent have they been used with young children, in different languages, and with different clinical populations? In order to answer these and other questions, we conducted a scoping review. Peer reviewed studies published in indexed scientific journals (2010-2021) were analyzed. A search in different databases yielded 258 studies. Research published in languages other than English or Spanish, adult samples, dissertations, case studies, artificial models, and theoretical publications were excluded. After this exclusion, 203 studies were analyzed. Our results show that most research using SRT were conducted with English monolingual speakers older than 5 years of age; studies with bilingual participants have mostly been published since 2016; and SRTs have been used with several non-typical populations. Research suggests that they are a reliable tool for identifying language difficulties and are specifically suitable for detecting developmental language disorder.
句子重复任务（SRTs）几十年来一直在语言发展研究中广泛使用。近年来，人们越来越有兴趣研究SRTs中的表现，将其作为语言障碍的临床指标。SRTs的特点是什么？SRTs被用于哪些目的？它们在多大程度上被用于幼儿、不同语言以及不同临床人群？为了回答这些以及其他问题，我们进行了一项范围综述。对索引科学期刊上发表的同行评审研究（2010 - 2021年）进行了分析。在不同数据库中搜索得到258项研究。排除了用英语或西班牙语以外的语言发表的研究、成人样本、学位论文、案例研究、人工模型和理论出版物。排除这些之后，对203项研究进行了分析。我们的结果表明，大多数使用SRT的研究是针对5岁以上的英语单语者进行的；涉及双语参与者的研究大多自2016年以来发表；并且SRTs已被用于多个非典型人群。研究表明，它们是识别语言困难的可靠工具，特别适用于检测发育性语言障碍。
