Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 36 (April 2017) . - p.21-34 Titre : The association of imperative and declarative intentional communication with language in young children with autism spectrum disorder: A meta-analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Amy L. HARBISON, Auteur ; Jena MCDANIEL, Auteur ; Paul J. YODER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.21-34 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Communication  Early childhood  Early intervention  Intentional communication  Pragmatic function Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Theoretically, specific pragmatic functions of intentional communication are differentially associated with language use in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The primary purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the relation of declarative and imperative intentional communication acts (ICAs), respectively, with language skills. We also examined five possible moderators of the separate associations and the difference in associations: metric used to quantify ICAs, expressive versus receptive language, longitudinal or concurrent correlations, within-study interobserver reliability of rating pragmatic function of ICAs, and risk for correlated measurement error. Method Included studies provided at least 1 zero-order correlation (concurrent or longitudinal) of language measures with declarative or imperative ICAs. Participants were children with ASD (n = 727), aged 8 years and younger. Results Twenty-three studies were included. Declarative ICAs were significantly associated with language (weighted mean r = 0.42; 95% CI [0.34, 0.50]). Imperative ICAs were not significantly associated with language. Moderator effects were not detected. Conclusions The association of declarative ICAs and language has implications for early treatment of ASD-related language deficits. Failure to find a significant association of imperative ICAs and language could have been due to low statistical power and/or publication bias; more research on imperative ICAs is needed.
