Abstract	Purpose: Miniature linguistic systems (also known as matrix training) is a method of organizing learning targets to achieve generative learning or recombinative generalization. This systematic review is aimed at determining whether matrix training is effective for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in terms of improving recombinative generalization for instruction-following, expressive language, play skills, and literacy skills. Method: A systematic review methodology was employed to limit bias in the various review stages. A multifaceted search was conducted. Potential primary studies were imported into Covidence, a systematic review software, and inclusion criteria were applied. Data were extracted regarding (a) participant characteristics, (b) matrix designs, (c) intervention methods, and (d) dependent variable. A quality appraisal using the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Single-Case Design Standards (Version 1.0, Pilot) was carried out. In addition to the visual analysis of the data, an effect size estimate, non-overlap of all pairs (NAP), was generated for each participant. Independent t tests and between-subjects analyses of variance were conducted to identify moderators of effectiveness. Results: Twenty-six studies including 65 participants met criteria for inclusion. All included studies were single-case experimental designs. Eighteen studies received a rating of "Meets Standards Without Reservations" or "Meets Standards With Reservations." The aggregated combined NAP scores for acquisition, recombinative generalization, and maintenance of a range of outcomes were in the high range. Conclusions: Findings suggested that matrix training is an effective teaching method for individuals with ASD for acquisition, recombinative generalization, and maintenance of a range of outcomes. Statistical analyses to identify moderators of effectiveness were insignificant. Based on the WWC Single-Case Design Standards matrix training meets criteria to be considered an evidence-based practice for individuals with ASD. (As Provided).
