Assessed the effects of a categorization strategy on the acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of the abilities of four children with autism to accurately complete uni-, bi-, and tridimensional sorting tasks. The independent variable was a categorization strategy involving uni-, bi-, and tridimensional categorization. The dependent variable was the number of items correctly sorted. The research involved a multiple baseline across-behaviors design with clinical replications. Data indicate that categorization strategy training resulted in increased performance on uni-, bi-, and tridimensional sorting tasks by four children with autism. Three children showed stability with 100% accuracy on uni-, bi-, and tridimensional sorting activities; improvements on generalization probes associated with strategy training; and performance maintenance 2 months after the study. The results of the current research substantiate the worth of categorization strategy training for three children with autism.
评估了一种分类策略对四名自闭症儿童准确完成一维、二维和三维分类任务能力的习得、维持和泛化的影响。自变量是一种涉及一维、二维和三维分类的分类策略。因变量是正确分类的项目数量。该研究采用了跨行为多基线设计并进行了临床复制。数据表明，分类策略训练使四名自闭症儿童在一维、二维和三维分类任务中的表现有所提高。三名儿童在一维、二维和三维分类活动中以100%的准确率保持稳定；与策略训练相关的泛化测试有改进；并且在研究结束2个月后表现得以维持。当前研究结果证实了分类策略训练对三名自闭症儿童的价值。
