The Aberrant Behavior Checklist: A Behavior Rating Scale for the Assessment of Treatment Effects.

Aman, Michael G.; And Others

American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v89 n5 p485-91 Mar 1985

The development of a scale to assess drug and other treatment effects on severely mentally retarded individuals is described. Separate factor analyses of the data from two samples resulted in a five-factor scale: (1) Irritability, Agitation, Crying; (2) Lethargy, Social Withdrawal; (3) Stereotypic Behavior; (4) Hyperactivity, Noncompliance; and (5) Inappropriate Speech.
