Data_Sheet_1_A scoping review of interaction dynamics in minimally verbal autistic individuals.XLSX

Interaction dynamics provide information about how social interactions unfold over time and have implications for communication development. Characterizing social interaction in autistic people who are minimally verbal (MV) has the potential to illuminate mechanisms of change in communication development and intervention. The purpose of this scoping review was to investigate the current evidence characterizing interaction dynamics in MV autistic individuals, methods used to measure interaction dynamics in this population, and opportunities for future research. Articles were included if participants were diagnosed with autism, considered MV, if interaction occurred with a human communication partner during live in-person interaction, and if variables were derived by measuring the relationship between behaviors in both partners. The seven articles included in this review demonstrate that limited research describes interaction dynamics in this population, and that behavioral coding measures can be leveraged to assess constructs such as turn-taking, social contingency, and balance in social interactions. While there is some evidence describing how MV autistic individuals and their communication partners construct reciprocal interaction, there is variability in how interaction dynamics are measured and limited evidence describing individual differences. Recommendations for future research are discussed.

互动动力学提供了关于社交互动随时间展开的信息，并对沟通发展产生影响。描绘自闭症谱系障碍中言语能力极低（MV）人群的社交互动具有揭示沟通发展及干预机制变化的可能性。本次范围综述旨在调查目前对MV自闭症个体互动动力学特征的证据、用于衡量该群体互动动力学的方法以及未来研究的机遇。若参与者被诊断为自闭症，被认为言语能力极低，且在面对面互动中与人类沟通伙伴进行互动，以及变量是通过衡量双方行为之间的关系得出的，则包括相关文章。综述中包含的七篇文章表明，关于该群体互动动力学的有限研究描述了这一现象，并且可以通过行为编码措施来评估诸如轮流发言、社交依存性和社交互动中的平衡等结构。尽管有一些证据描述了言语能力极低的自闭症个体及其沟通伙伴如何构建相互互动，但在衡量互动动力学的方法上存在差异，且关于个体差异的描述有限。讨论了未来研究的建议。
