Heldt, Juliane; Schlinger, Henry D., Jr. – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2012

Drash and Tudor's argument that autism is a contingency-shaped disorder of verbal behavior is logical and consistent with behavioral principles, but the argument's premises have no direct empirical support and some conflicting evidence. The quantity and quality of research needed to support such a theory is compared to that found in the area of…
