有意沟通先前已被确定为一个增值的预测表达性语言的学前儿童自闭症谱系障碍。在本研究中，我们试图找出有意沟通的增值预测。在研究早期（研究进入和4个月后）测量的五个理论动机的推定预测因子中，有三个与后来的有意沟通（研究进入后12个月）具有显著的零阶相关性，因此被添加到一个线性模型中，该模型预测后来的有意沟通分数，控制研究进入时的初始有意沟通分数。在控制了最初的有意沟通，早期运动模仿是唯一的预测，占了显着量的方差在儿童后来的有意沟通。
Intentional communication has previously been identified as a value-added predictor of expressive language in preverbal preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder. In the present study, we sought to identify value-added predictors of intentional communication. Of five theoretically-motivated putative predictors of intentional communication measured early in the study (at study entry and 4 months after), three had significant zero-order correlations with later intentional communication (12 months after study entry) and were thus added to a linear model that predicted later intentional communication scores controlling for initial intentional communication scores at study entry. After controlling for initial intentional communication, early motor imitation was the only predictor that accounted for a significant amount of variance in children’s later intentional communication.
