Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Reciprocal Imitation Training (RIT)
Children (n=20) receive 30 sessions of Reciprocal Imitation Training (RIT), delivered in 40-60 minute sessions 2-3 times/week.
Reciprocal Imitation Training
As a naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention (NDBI), Reciprocal Imitation Training (RIT) utilizes contingent imitation, linguistic mapping, modeling, prompting, and contingent reinforcement to train object and gesture imitation during play activities.
Music-Enhanced Reciprocal Imitation Training (meRIT)
Children (n=20) receive 30 sessions of music-enhanced Reciprocal Imitation Training (meRIT), delivered in 40-60 minute sessions 2-3 times/week.
music-enhanced Reciprocal Imitation Training
Music-enhanced imitation training uses music and rhythm to enhance the predictability and salience of the strategies utilized within the Reciprocal Imitation Training platform (i.e., contingent imitation, linguistic mapping, modeling, prompting, and contingent reinforcement to train object and gesture imitation during play activities).
