Brief Report: Fast Mapping Predicts Differences in Concurrent and Later Language Abilities among Children with ASD.

摘要: This study investigated whether the ability to learn word-object associations following minimal exposure (i.e., fast mapping) was associated with concurrent and later language abilities in children ASD. Children who were poor learners at age 3½ had significantly lower receptive than successfully learned new words, both concurrently (n = 59) 2 years 53), lending ecological validity experimental fast-mapping tasks. Fast mapping comprehension better outcomes regardless of produced words. These findings highlight importance investigating processes learning Understanding these will enable development maximally effective strategies for supporting word learning.
