The purpose of this study was to attempt to improve verbal language acquisition for nonverbal autistic children by manipulating traditional teaching techniques so they incorporated parameters of natural language interactions and motivational techniques. Within a multiple baseline design, treatment was conducted in a baseline condition with trials presented serially in a traditional analogue clinical format where the therapist presented instructions, prompts, and reinforcers for correct responses. Then, these variables were manipulated in the natural language teaching condition such that stimulus items were functional and varied, natural reinforcers were employed, communicative attempts were also reinforced, and trials were conducted within a natural interchange. Treatment and generalization data demonstrated that manipulation of these variables resulted in broadly generalized treatment gains. Implications for language intervention are discussed.
本研究的目的是尝试通过调整传统教学技巧来提高非言语自闭症儿童的言语语言习得能力，使这些技巧纳入自然语言互动和激励技巧的参数。在多重基线设计中，治疗在基线条件下进行，试验以传统模拟临床形式依次呈现，治疗师在其中给出指令、提示并对正确反应给予强化。然后，在自然语言教学条件下对这些变量进行调整，使刺激项目具有功能性且多样化，采用自然强化物，对交流尝试也给予强化，并且在自然交流中进行试验。治疗和泛化数据表明，对这些变量的调整带来了广泛的治疗效果。文中还讨论了对语言干预的启示。
