A Review of Empirical Researches on Observational Learning Interventions for Children With Autism
Observational learning is crucial to the development of individual complex abilities,such as language,social skills,and motor skills.Studies have shown that children with autism have difficulty in observational learning due to lack of attention to their surroundings and delayed imitation deficits.In this paper,empirical researches on observational learning interventions for children with autism in the past two decades abroad and at home are systematically reviewed and analyzed from the aspects of intervention object,experiment design,intervention context,intervention forms,acquired skills,and intervention results,so as to clarify the research progress of observational learning for children with autism and provide references for the development of relevant practices and studies in China.
