Brief Report: Imitation Effects on Children with Autism.
Escalona, Angelica; Field, Tiffany; Nadel, Jacqueline; Lundy, Brenda
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v32 n2 p141-44 Apr 2002
Twenty children with autism received either an imitative or contingently responsive interaction with an adult. The contingency condition appeared to be the more effective way to facilitate a distal social behavior (attention), whereas the imitative condition was a more effective way to facilitate a proximal social behavior (touching).
