However, some issues still need to be investigated, especially for children with ASDs under the age of 4. Method:Two studies were conducted to examine the imitative abilities of children with autism spectrum disorders. Study 1 examined immediate and deferred imitation abilities in 18 children with ASDs, 18 children with developmental delay (DD), and 19 typically developing children (mean ages of all groups were below 4 years). Four tasks were used to evaluate immediate imitation abilities: meaningful actions on objects, non-meaningful actions on objects, manual movements, and oral-facial movements. Eighteen months after study 1 was completed, study 2 examined advanced imitative abilities in 11 children with ASDs and 11 children with DD from study 1. Results: The results of study 1 indicated that, compared to the two control groups, children with ASDs experienced significant difficulty in imitating non-meaningful actions only. The findings of study 2 suggested that children with ASDs were still significantly impaired on the imitation of single non-meaningful actions compared to children with DD. Conclusions: The relationships between specific imitation deficits, executive functioning, and shared intentionality in children with ASDs are further discussed. | 關聯: | Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities,24(1),39-49 | 資料類型: | article | DOI: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1468-3148.2010.00595.x |
