自闭症儿童从小就无法模仿，而缺乏模仿是该疾病的一个显着诊断标志。对于患有自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的儿童来说，模仿能力的提高似乎与多个领域技能发展的提高有关。视频建模最近被验证为一种支持自闭症幼儿模仿习得的技术。本研究的目的是确定看护者通过 iPad 实施的视频建模模仿训练 (VMIT) 与自闭症幼儿模仿能力的提高之间是否存在功能关系。此外，还对接触 VMIT 后的语言发展进行了二次分析。针对四名护理人员及其患有自闭症的孩子实施了多基线设计。结果表明，只要接受最少的培训，所有四名护理人员都能够在 iPad 上成功创建视频模型，并为孩子忠实地实施 VMIT。在护理人员实施的治疗过程中，所有四个孩子的模仿能力都得到了显着提高。治疗后模仿技能得以保留，并在不同程度上推广到对真人模特的模仿。所有参与者的语言表达能力都有不同程度的提高。 (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Children with autism fail to imitate from an early age and this lack of imitation is a salient diagnostic marker for the disorder. For children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), increased imitation skills appear to be related to increased skill development in a variety of areas. Video modeling was recently validated as a technique to support imitation acquisition in young children with autism. The purpose of this research was to determine if there is a functional relation between caregiver implemented Video Modeling Imitation Training (VMIT) via iPad and increased imitation skills in young children with autism. In addition, a secondary analysis of language development after exposure to VMIT was also conducted. A multiple baseline design across four caregivers and their children with autism was implemented. Results indicated that all four caregivers were able to successfully create video models on an iPad when provided with minimal training and implement VMIT with fidelity for their children. All four children made substantial gains in their imitation skills during caregiver implemented treatment. Imitation skills maintained post treatment and, to varying degrees, generalized to imitation of live models. Expressive language skills increased to varying degrees for all participants.
