Effect of Treatment Structure on Development in Autistic Children

Schopler, Eric·1971·Archives of General Psychiatry

Abstract

Because of the wide variation of structures used in the treatment of autistic children, a study was designed in which structure was changed from relative structure to relative unstructure over two repeated cycles of two weeks each. Both children and therapists were rated on their reactions. The findings indicated that autistic children tended to react more favorably to structure than to unstructure. Individual differences showed that autistic children on a higher developmental level were better able to utilize relative unstructure than those functioning on a lower developmental level.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
