An Automated Research and Training System for Child-Clinical Populations

Abstract

An automated laboratory that can be used in the study and training of child-clinical populations is described. In addition to enabling flexible and precise stimulus presentation, the system permits accurate response recording. These are requisites in research and training efforts concerned with such critical areas as errorless discrimination learning, adaptive generalization, and language acquisition. Training procedures that require the children to utilize visual, auditory, and bimodal stimuli can be automated with the system.
