ASD儿童表现出高频率的限制性和重复性行为（RRB）;然而，高阶RRB，如限制性兴趣，在很大程度上仍然对治疗有抵抗力。本研究评估了16周开放性试验后RRB严重程度的变化。参与者包括15名4至7岁的ASD儿童。重复行为量表-修订版（RBS-R）和异常行为检查表（ABC）测量的RRB在治疗后显著降低。在控制了社交技能的变化后，这些下降仍然很明显。PRT在减少RRB方面显示出希望;尽管PRT明确解决了关键的社会沟通技能，但对RRB有次要和不太直接的影响。
Children with ASD show high frequency of restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs); however, higher-order RRBs, such as restricted interests, have remained largely resistant to treatment. This study evaluated change in severity of RRBs following a 16-week open trial of Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT). Participants included 15 children with ASD ages 4 to 7 years. RRBs, as measured by the Repetitive Behavioral Scales- Revised (RBS-R) and Aberrant Behaviors Checklist (ABC), decreased significantly after treatment. These reductions remained significant after controlling for change in social communication skills. PRT shows promise in reducing RRBs; although PRT explicitly addresses pivotal social communication skills, there is a secondary and less direct effect on RRBs.
