本文观察了6名孤独症儿童在两种背景照明条件下的重复行为。在2个阶段期间，房间用荧光灯照明，在另外2个阶段期间，用等强度白炽灯照明。受试者在荧光灯下进行重复行为的时间显著增加。这些发现与荧光照明的闪烁性质有关。实践和理论意义进行了讨论。建议进一步实验以评估闪烁照明和唤醒之间的关系。
Repetitive behaviors of 6 autistic children were observed under 2 conditions of background illumination. During 2 sessions, the room was illuminated by fluorescent light and during 2 other sessions, by equal intensity incandescent light. Subjects spent significantly more time engaged in repetitive behavior under fluorescent light. These findings were related to the flickering nature of fluorescent illumination. Practical and theoretical implications were discussed. Further experimentation was suggested to assess relationships between flickering illumination and arousal.
