Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience challenges maintaining fluid, reciprocal conversations, resulting in prolonged, awkward pauses. Such pauses disrupt the pacing of an interaction and create (a) less favorable social impressions and (b) perceptions of limited social competence. To help these individuals succeed socially, there is a need for intervention techniques specifically targeting this area. Using a multiple baseline experimental design, this study evaluated the efficacy of a video-feedback intervention to improve conversational fluidity in young adults with ASD. Specifically, number of long pauses and questions asked during a conversation were measured. In addition, social desirability was examined as well as participant-reported confidence in their skills and satisfaction with the intervention. Following intervention, all participants improved in their ability to maintain a fluid conversation. Furthermore, supplemental assessments indicated that each participant improved in their confidence in communication skills and was rated as more socially desirable by their same-aged peers.

使用视频反馈干预改善自闭症谱系障碍的年轻成年人的对话流动性

自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的个人在保持流畅,相互的交谈中会遇到挑战,导致长时间的尴尬停顿。这种停顿打乱了互动的节奏,并造成了(a)不良的社会印象和(b)社交能力有限的感知。为了帮助这些人在社会上取得成功,需要专门针对该领域的干预技术。使用多基线实验设计,该研究评估了视频反馈干预措施改善ASD青年人对话流动性的功效。具体而言,测量了长时间停顿的次数和在对话期间提出的问题。此外,还检查了社交满意度以及参与者报告的对其技能和对干预的满意度的信心。干预后,所有参与者保持畅通对话的能力得到了提高。此外,补充评估表明,每个参与者对沟通技能的信心都有所提高,并被同龄同龄人评为社会上更可取的。
