We evaluated a method for teaching children with autism spectrum disorder to respond to tactile stimulation of multiple body parts. Various objects (e.g., hairbrush) produced the sensations (e.g., prickly). In a multiple baseline design across participants, participants learned 9 sensation body part tacts and the evaluation concluded with tests of generalization to 3 novel body parts, 6 novel objects, and 3 novel sensations. Participants demonstrated generalization to novel objects, and to a lesser extent, novel body parts, but did not generalize tacts to novel sensations. These findings are discussed in terms of implications for teaching children with autism to tact sensations.

教自闭症儿童在公共陪伴下处理私人事件

我们评估了一种教自闭症谱系障碍儿童对身体多个部位的触觉刺激做出反应的方法。各种物体（例如，发刷）产生了感觉（例如，带刺的）。在跨参与者的多基线设计中，参与者学习了 9 种感觉身体部位的动作，评估以对 3 种新身体部位、6 种新物体和 3 种新感觉的泛化测试结束。参与者展示了对新物体的概括，并在较小程度上展示了对新的身体部位的概括，但没有将技巧概括为新的感觉。讨论这些发现对教自闭症儿童触觉的意义。
