DESCRIPTION: The Behavioral Science Core has two objectives: to enhance the integrity of the independent variables of research involving human subjects (especially children and youth) where cooperation (compliance, adherence) represents a serious confound or barrier; and to expand the range and type of dependent variables by making available state-of-the- science methods so that investigators can objectively quantify behavioral phenomena specific to mental retardation and related disorders and identify, track and compare cognitive, behavioral, and developmental characteristics of genetic phenotypes, syndromes, diagnoses, intervention approaches, and animal models. The first objective is achieved by antecedent stimulus control procedures and contingency shaping procedures; the second by selection and use of standardized assessment procedures, direct observation techniques, and computer performance tasks designed to assess psychological variables.

行为科学核心有两个目标：提高 涉及人类的研究的独立变量的完整性 （特别是儿童和青年）， 坚持）代表了一个严重的混淆或障碍;并扩大 因变量的范围和类型， 科学方法，以便调查人员能够客观地量化行为 精神发育迟滞和有关疾病的特有现象， 识别、跟踪和比较认知、行为和发展 遗传表型特征，综合征，诊断，干预 方法和动物模型。第一个目标是通过 先行刺激控制程序和偶然性形成程序; 二是通过选择和使用标准化的评估程序， 直接观察技术和计算机性能任务， 评估心理变量。
