This study aimed to compare the effects of echoic and listener responding in the emergence of complex intraverbal behavior in four children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Each participant was taught to provide an echoic response or a listener response for different discriminative stimuli for each condition. We used a nonconcurrent multiple probe design across participants and adapted an alternating treatment design to compare the effects between the two conditions. Pre- and posttests were used to evaluate the effects of the two different prompt types in the emergence of complex intraverbals. The results indicate that the echoic response was more effective than the listener response at increasing the emergence of complex intraverbal responses in three out of four participants.
本研究旨在比较回声反应和听者反应对四名自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童复杂互动语言行为出现的影响。针对每种情况，教导每位参与者针对不同的辨别性刺激做出回声反应或听者反应。我们采用了跨参与者的非同时多重探测设计，并采用交替治疗设计来比较两种情况之间的效果。使用前测和后测来评估两种不同提示类型对复杂互动语言出现的影响。结果表明，在四名参与者中的三名中，回声反应在增加复杂互动语言反应的出现方面比听者反应更有效。
