背景:个人叙事在儿童的社会和学术发展中起着至关重要的作用。然而,唐氏综合症儿童在构建和交流个人叙述方面面临着持续的挑战。
方法:使用跨参与者设计的单例多探针,我们研究了有针对性的干预措施是否可以改善中国唐氏综合征青少年个人叙事的微观和宏观结构方面.
结果:所有三名参与者在两个宏观结构叙事结果中都表现出很高的治疗效果(即,叙事元素的复杂性和叙事的连贯性),以响应微观结构叙事结果中的干预和中到高治疗效果(即,话语的平均长度和不同单词的数量)。然而,所有参与者在叙事衔接方面表现出有限的改善.这些效果在不同的叙述条件下得到维持和推广。
结论:初步研究结果支持个人叙事干预与自我监测策略相结合的可行性和有效性。
BACKGROUND: Personal narratives play an essential role in children\'s social and academic development. However, children with Down syndrome have ongoing challenges with constructing and communicating personal narratives.
METHODS: Using a single-case multiple-probe across participants design, we examined whether a targeted intervention could improve both micro- and macro-structural aspects of personal narratives from Chinese adolescents with Down syndrome.
RESULTS: All three participants demonstrated high treatment effects in two macrostructural narrative outcomes (i.e., narrative element complexity and narrative coherence) in response to the intervention and moderate to high treatment effects in the microstructural narrative outcomes (i.e., the mean length of utterance in words and the number of different words). However, all participants demonstrated limited improvements in narrative cohesion. These effects were maintained and generalised in a different narrative condition.
CONCLUSIONS: The preliminary findings support the feasibility and effectiveness of the personal narrative intervention incorporated with self-monitoring strategies for adolescents with Down syndrome.
