| Action imitation is based on observing new behaviors,and spontaneously makes behavior consistent with the physical characteristics of the demonstrators.In recent years,the imitative deficiencies in the movement of children with autism have been widely demonstrated to affect the establishment of social behaviors,cognitive skills,and the development of adaptability to social life.With the development of diversification of autism,the application of music therapy and its rhythm and beats to the rehabilitation of autism has become an important issue in the clinical work of education and rehabilitation.However,there are fewer studies on the imitation of movements by different beats.This article intends to study the influence of beat type and beat initiation mode on action simulation.The main contents and results of this study include the following sections: 1.Effect of Beat Types on Action Simulation of Autistic Children An experimental study of repeated measurements by 3(beat type: no beat,2/4 beat,4/4 beat)*3(action type: one-step,two-step,and three-step)examines beat type and action type for 16 children with autism Action mimics the effect of performance.The study found that the main effects of beat type were significant,the main effects of the type of movement were significant,and the two interacted.Simple effect analysis found that there was no significant difference in each beat type in one-step imitation.In the two-step action simulation,only the no beat and the four beats were significantly different.In the three-step action simulation,there are significant differences between the three types of beat types.2.Effect of beat-starting mode on motor imitating of children with autism The two-step action and three of the 16 children with autism were examined through an experiment in which 2(beat start mode: strong shot start mode,weak beat start mode)*2(action type: two-step,three-step)repeated measurement.Steps act to imitate the effects of performance.The study found that the main effect of the beat-starting mode is significant,and the action mimicking ability in the strong beat mode is significantly better than the action mimicking ability in the weak beat mode.Regardless of the strong-shooting mode or the weakbeating mode,the two-step motor imitative ability of children with autism is better than the three-step motor imitative ability.3.Effect of beat on imitation of delayed motion in children with autism The effect of repeated beats and time intervals on the imitative performance of delayed motion in 16 children with autism was examined using a repeated measurement of 2(beat conditions: beats,no beats)*2(time interval: 3 seconds,18 seconds)..The study found that the main effects of beat conditions were significant,and that the acrobatic children’s ability to mimic the delayed action mimicking beats was significantly better than that of no-tap delayed action mimicry.From the mean chart,it can be seen that there are beat-delay gestures mimicking the memory capacity mimicked by un-delayed delays.Based on the results of the above research,this article explored the effects of beats,beat types,and beat initiation patterns on different types of motor simulation of autistic children through behavioral observation experiments and used this as a basis for school age children with mild to moderate autism.In the clinical rehabilitation process,how to make better use of beats to provide intervention training,action imitation is the basic skills for the development of children’s language skills.In the future,it is still necessary to continue to explore related researches on beat and action imitation and speech language development. |
