CORE--BEHAVIOR SCIENCE

描述：行为科学核心有两个目标：增强 涉及人类的研究的自变量的完整性 合作的对象(特别是儿童和青年) 坚持)代表着严重的困惑或障碍；要扩大 因变量的范围和类型，通过提供最新状态- 科学的方法，使调查人员可以客观地量化行为 精神发育迟滞和相关障碍特有的现象和 识别、跟踪和比较认知、行为和发展 遗传表型、症状、诊断、干预的特点 方法和动物模型。第一个目标是通过 事前刺激控制程序和应急形成程序； 第二，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。

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.
