本研究探讨了26月龄儿童受限和重复行为与儿童并发(n=203)和以后(n=161)社会认知和语言发展的关系。使用两个量表评估受限和重复行为：感觉和运动重复行为和僵硬/常规/受限兴趣。在26岁和51个月时评估语言；在26岁(象征性游戏)和51个月和61个月(心理理论)评估社会认知。感觉和运动重复行为与儿童在26个月和51个月时的语言表现，(B)在26个月时指导象征性游戏，以及(C)在51和61个月时的心理表现呈负相关。通径分析表明，儿童26个月时的感觉和运动重复行为与51个月时的接受性言语能力和心理理论能力较低有关，这导致61个月时的心理理论能力较低。26个月时的僵化/常规/受限兴趣与当时和后来的社会认知和语言无关。根据感觉和运动重复行为可能对发育产生负面影响的途径，对这些结果进行了讨论。
Relations between restricted and repetitive behavior at age 26 months and children's concurrent (N = 203) and later (n = 161) social cognition and language development were investigated. Restricted and repetitive behavior was assessed using two scales: sensory and motor repetitive behaviors and rigidity/routines/restricted interests. Language was assessed at ages 26 and 51 months; social cognition was assessed at ages 26 (symbolic play) and 51 and 61 months (theory of mind). Sensory and motor repetitive behavior was negatively related to children's (a) language performance at 26 and 51 months, (b) instructed symbolic play at 26 months, and (c) theory of mind performance at 51 and 61 months. Path analyses showed that children's sensory and motor repetitive behavior at age 26 months was related to lower receptive verbal ability and theory of mind at 51 months, which led to lower theory of mind at 61 months. Rigidity/routines/restricted interests at 26 months were unrelated to concurrent and later social cognition and language. These results are discussed in terms of the pathways via which sensory and motor repetitive behavior might impact negatively on development.
