Current Developmental Disorders Reports commissions expert reviews from leading scientists and clinicians in the field of developmental disorders. What makes the journal unique is its focus—coverage of not one but a host of major disorders in the field, ranging from autism, ADHD, and Tourette’s syndrome, to motor disorders such as cerebral palsy and developmental coordination disorder, through to language and reading disorders such as developmental dyslexia. International authorities serve as editorial board members and section editors, and articles from some of the world’s leading researchers will focus on timely and current reviews of the literature in areas spanning the continuum from bench to communities to individuals. Reviews on new scientific discoveries in neurosciences, genetics, and epidemiology, as well as clinical interventions and policy will provide readers with access to new, innovative, and impactful discoveries as they emerge.

Systematic Review of Interventions Based on Gestalt Language Processing and Natural Language Acquisition (GLP/NLA): Clinical Implications of Absence of Evidence and Cautions for Clinicians and Parents

基于格式塔语言处理和自然语言习得（GLP/NLA）干预措施的系统综述：缺乏证据的临床意义及对临床医生和家长的警示

Abstract Purpose of Review The aim of this rapid review was to understand how current research describes and quantifies the prevalence of echolalia, generally described as the repetition of other’s speech, in autism. Recent Findings Five databases were searched for papers published in the last ten years (i.e., since 2014) that reported studies presenting new data regarding echolalia prevalence among autistic participants (11 studies), and studies presenting secondary prevalence figures based on prior research (11 studies). Primary echolalia prevalence estimates among children and youth ranged from 25 to 91%. Studies citing secondary statistics drew their prevalence from six population samples reported across nine papers from 1965 to 2014, with most studies citing research published in the 1960s. Summary Highly varied prevalence estimates and discrepant definitions of echolalia across studies reflects longstanding and entrenched problems regarding the ways that echolalia is defined and described. More research into echolalia prevalence and change across age and ability groups is needed to inform evidence-based supports for autistic people.

Prevalence of Echolalia in Autism: A Rapid Review of Current Findings and a Journey Back to Historical Data

自闭症中回声症的流行率：当前研究成果的快速回顾与历史数据的追溯

Abstract Purpose of the review This review critiques Blanc’s Gestalt Language Processing (GLP) and Natural Language Acquisition (GLP/NLA), and related suggestions for clinical practice, from a linguistics angle. Recent findings This review extends a recent critique of GLP/NLA and brings to bear recent research on language acquisition in the general population and in autistic individuals. It also draws upon recent research on effective language teaching methods for minimally speaking autistic individuals, as well as the author’s own synthesis of evidence-based, autism-friendly instruction. Summary In light both of recent research and of earlier findings in the fields of autism and linguistics that are yet unconsidered in the context of GLP, I argue that those whom GLP/NLA proponents claim are “gestalt language processors” or “GLPs” necessarily engage in analytic, as opposed to gestalt, processes. I then explain why (a) the purported linguistic units in GLP—gestalts, defined as language that is echoed as analyzed stretches of speech sounds—are not plausible either as building blocks in language acquisition, or as full-fledged linguistic phenomena; and (b) that language acquisition, for all learners, is necessarily analytic, beginning in the earliest stages. Finally, I argue that some of the GLP/NLA suggestions for working with individuals proponents classify as “gestalt language processors” (also referred to reductively as “GLPs”) are detrimental to the autistic language learners that GLP/NLA proponents purport to be helping.

Abstract Purpose of Review This paper discusses the application of replication research to the study of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), a field that has engaged multiple health disciplines for over four decades. It seeks to answer how replication research can be incorporated into the investigation of DCD, addressing the growing need for validation and verification in the face of increasing published manuscripts. Recent Findings There has been a substantial increase in the number of published manuscripts focusing on various aspects of DCD, including symptoms, assessment, and intervention. This proliferation of research highlights the need for replication studies to ensure the reliability and validity of findings. Summary A systematic literature search conducted reveals that replication research is underrepresented in DCD studies. The paper discusses several likely challenges researchers face if incorporating replication into DCD research and provides recommendations to account for these in future study designs. The emphasis on replication research is expected to enhance the reliability and validity of findings in the field, contributing to more effective assessment and intervention strategies for DCD and impacting future research directions.
