This investigation, consisting of two experiments, was designed to assess the effects of autistic immediate echolalia on acquisition and generalization of receptive labeling tasks. Experiment 1 addressed whether autistic children could use their echolalia to facilitate acquisition. The results indicated that incorporating echolalia (echo of the requested object's label) into the task before manual response (handing the requested object to the experimenter) facilitated receptive labeling. Experiment 2 was designed to determine the effects of incorporating echolalia into task response on acquisition and subsequent generalization. These results indicated that echolalia facilitated generalization for echolalic autistic children but not for functionally mute autistic children. The results of the experiments are discussed in terms of stimulus control. Additionally, it is proposed that perhaps in certain cases, echolalia should not be eliminated, but used to advantage in receptive responding.
这项调查由两个实验组成,旨在评估自闭症即时模仿言语对接受性标签任务的习得和泛化的影响。实验1探讨了自闭症儿童是否能够利用他们的模仿言语来促进习得。结果表明,在手动反应(将所需物品递给实验者)之前,将模仿言语(所需物品标签的重复)纳入任务中有助于接受性标签的习得。实验2旨在确定将模仿言语纳入任务反应对习得和随后泛化的影响。这些结果表明,模仿言语有助于有模仿言语的自闭症儿童的泛化,但对功能性缄默的自闭症儿童则不然。实验结果从刺激控制的角度进行了讨论。此外,有人提出,也许在某些情况下,模仿言语不应被消除,而应在接受性反应中加以利用。
