Examines the ability of young people with autism to generate ideas for play. Young people with autism, children with learning difficulties, and younger normal children were asked to generate 12 different actions and follow 12 instructions with a car and a doll. The young people with autism were impaired, relative to the controls, at generating original actions with the car, but were as able as the controls to follow the instructions. However, the young people with autism were not impaired at generating original actions with the doll. All three groups produced similar amounts of symbolic play. Possible explanations for the difference in results for the two toys are discussed.
研究患有自闭症的年轻人产生游戏想法的能力。研究人员要求患有自闭症的年轻人、有学习困难的儿童以及年龄较小的正常儿童用一辆汽车和一个玩偶做出12种不同的动作并遵循12条指令。与对照组相比，患有自闭症的年轻人在用汽车做出原创动作方面存在障碍，但在遵循指令方面与对照组能力相当。然而，患有自闭症的年轻人在用玩偶做出原创动作方面并未受损。所有三组产生的象征性游戏数量相似。文中讨论了两种玩具结果存在差异的可能解释。
