本研究的目的是探讨无条件和有条件的干预量与自闭症儿童语言发展的关系。联合注意力技能被认为是可能缓和这种关系的儿童特征。结果重复了以前的发现，即更好的联合注意力技能与更大的语言发展有关。结果进一步表明，干预量和语言年龄的增益之间的关系是有条件的，它取决于孩子的能力，以应对投标的共同关注他人和初始的语言技能。目前的研究表明，利用儿童的特点作为干预措施和发展成果之间的关系的调节剂的效用。
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the unconditional and conditional relations between amount of intervention and language development in children with autism. Joint attention skills were proposed as child characteristics that might moderate this relation. The results replicated previous findings that better joint attention skills were associated with greater language development. The results further indicated that the relation between amount of intervention and gain in language age was conditional; it depended upon the child's ability to respond to bids for joint attention from others and initial language skills. The current study demonstrated the utility of employing characteristics of children as moderators of relations between interventions and developmental outcomes.
