A method for the experimental analysis of the behavior of autistic children.
Abstract
Behavior of severely disturbed autistic children was brought under the control of an arbitrary environment by techniques of operant reinforcement. It was possible to sustain substantial amounts of behavior, as well as to widen aspects of the children's behavioral repertoire. The experimental methods suggest objective techniques for controlling the current repertoire of the child, as well as means for developing new behaviors by which the child may deal with the environment.

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.
