Signal Detection Analysis of Items from the Autism Behavior Checklist. Brief Report.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Oswald, Donald P.; Volkmar, Fred R. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1991
Autism Behavior Checklists were completed for 52 autistic individuals (ages 2-31) and 62 nonautistic individuals, and data were analyzed using signal detection methodology. A single item (looks "through" people) combined with one of five other items discriminated as well as the sum scores, and further combinations did not improve…

A Closer Look at the Autism Behavior Checklist: Discriminant Validity and Factor Structure.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wadden, Norma P. K.; And Others – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1991
The Autism Behavior Checklist was completed for 67 autistic and 56 mentally retarded and learning-disabled children (ages 6-15). The checklist was effective in classifying children when using either the full scale or only the more highly weighted items. Results did not support a single unidimensional scale or subdividing the checklist into five…
