Communication Complexity Scale (CCS) scores for 269 minimally verbal participants were examined to determine if communicator behavior and task and communicator characteristics were related to scores in a manner consistent with theoretical and research evidence expectations. Each participant completed an interactive assessment with 6 joint attention tasks and 6 behavior regulation tasks. Caregivers completed the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales II. Results indicated (a) joint attention tasks yielded lower scores than behavior regulation tasks, (b) older participants had lower scores, (c) individuals with autism spectrum disorder scored more similarly than those without, (d) the difference between joint attention and behavior regulation scores was greater for the autism spectrum disorder group, and (e) adaptive behavior was significantly positively related to complexity scores.

任务和参与者变量预测沟通复杂性量表（CCS）得分：仔细检查CCS。

检查了269名最少言语参与者的沟通复杂性量表（CCS）分数，以确定沟通者的行为和任务以及沟通者的特征是否与分数相关，且符合理论和研究证据的预期。每个参与者完成了一项互动评估，包括6个联合注意任务和6个行为调节任务。照顾者完成了《葡萄园适应行为量表II》。结果表明：（a）联合注意任务的得分低于行为调节任务；（b）老年参与者的得分更低；（c）自闭症谱系障碍者的得分比没有行为得分更高；（d）联合注意和行为的差异自闭症谱系障碍组的调节评分更高，
