Skinner’s (1957) book Verbal Behavior is a critical tool in designing effective communication programs for individuals with limited speech. The purpose of this systematic review was to analyze the speech generating device (SGD) research literature from Skinner’s taxonomy of primary verbal operants. An extraction procedure yielded 56 studies published between 1995 and 2018, with a total of 221 participants, most of whom had autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or an intellectual and developmental disability (IDD). The large majority of SGD studies (42) targeted multiply controlled mands, whereas only a handful of studies targeted verbal operants that were not mands. Few studies employed procedures for fading contrived sources of stimulus control to promote spontaneous responding, and few studies targeted more sophisticated, topography-based responses (e.g., typing, speech). Results of the review highlight the need for better dissemination of Skinner’s Verbal Behavior, the need for research to evaluate effects of SGD in teaching a greater variety of spontaneous verbal operants, and the need to focus on application of SGD with populations beyond individuals with ASD and IDD.

从斯金纳对言语行为的分析中，对语音发生装置研究中的言语操作员进行系统回顾。

斯金纳（1957）的《言语行为》一书是为言语不佳的人设计有效的交流程序的关键工具。本系统综述的目的是根据Skinner的主要言语操作人员分类法分析语音生成设备（SGD）研究文献。提取程序产生了1995年至2018年间发表的56项研究，共有221名参与者，其中大多数患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）或智力和发育障碍（IDD）。SGD的绝大多数研究（42）都针对多重控制的人群，而只有少数研究针对非人群的言语操作者。很少有研究采用程序来淡化人为的刺激控制源以促进自发反应，很少有研究针对更复杂的基于地形的反应（例如，打字，语音）。言语行为，需要进行研究以评估SGD在教授更多自发言语操作员方面的效果，并且需要将SGD应用于具有ASD和IDD的人群以外的人群。
