项目摘要

The Behavior Science Core has a twenty year history echoing that of our MRDDRC as a whole. We have evolved from a relatively focused effort supporting half a dozen projects to a multifaceted resource that, this current funding period, has contributed to the productivity of over 85 projects. This history, together with our current plans, is briefly summarized here. Since its establishment in 1988, the Behavior Science Core has been engaged in hundreds of collaborations and experienced dynamic growth in its capabilities and resources, as would be expected given its mission of providing core support to a large and diverse program of research in our rapidly evolving field of mental retardation (MR) and developmental disabilities (DD). Initially, the Core focused on combining the expertise of applied behavior analysts with that of biomedical scientists interested in studying brain-behavior relationships, patterns of behavior and behavioral symptoms. Under the direction of Michael Cataldo, the Core provided expertise for studying how environmental variables relate to the prevention and reduction of behavior problems in individuals with MR/DD. Behavior analysis expertise was provided to facilitate the interaction between behavioral and biological investigators at the Kennedy Institute and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Drs. Cataldo and Keith Slifer, assisted by one Research Associate, originally staffed the Core. The services provided at that time focused on the design of behavioral observation systems, behavioral data collection and analysis. Behavioral measurement was accomplished using standard measures already established in the behavioral literature or by designing customized data collection approaches to meet the unique needs of MRDDRC researchers (e.g. Naidu, Hyman, Piazza et al., 1990; Piazza, Fisher, & Moser, 1991). During the initial funding period, the Core also provided behavior management services that employed principles of learning and behavior to maximize research participant cooperation with study protocols requiring neuroimaging (Reiss, Aylward, Freund et al., 1991;)and medication adherence (Babbitt, Parish, Brierly, Kohr, 1991). During the initial period of funding, six research projects and five investigators utilized the Core.

行为科学核心已有 20 年的历史，与我们整个 MRDDRC 的历史相呼应。我们有从支持六个项目的相对集中的努力演变为多方面的资源，目前的资助期间，已为超过 85 个项目的生产力做出了贡献。这段历史，与我们一起目前的计划，简要总结如下。自1988年成立以来，行为科学核心已开展数百项合作其能力和资源经历了动态增长，正如其使命所预期的那样为我们快速发展的心理领域的大型且多样化的研究项目提供核心支持发育迟缓（MR）和发育障碍（DD）。最初，核心重点是将以下领域的专业知识结合起来：应用行为分析师与对研究大脑行为关系感兴趣的生物医学科学家，行为模式和行为症状。在 Michael Cataldo 的指导下，核心提供了研究环境变量如何与预防和减少行为问题相关的专业知识存在 MR/DD 的个体。提供行为分析专业知识以促进之间的互动肯尼迪研究所和约翰·霍普金斯大学学院的行为和生物学研究人员药品。博士。 Cataldo 和 Keith Slifer 在一名研究员的协助下，最初是核心人员。这当时提供的服务主要集中在行为观察系统、行为数据的设计收集和分析。行为测量已使用标准测量完成在行为文献中建立或通过设计定制的数据收集方法来满足 MRDDRC 研究人员的独特需求（例如 Naidu、Hyman、Piazza 等人，1990 年；Piazza、Fisher 和 Moser， 1991）。在最初的资助期间，Core 还提供了行为管理服务，学习和行为原则，以最大限度地提高研究参与者与研究协议的合作要求神经影像学（Reiss、Aylward、Freund 等，1991；）和药物依从性（Babbitt、Parish、Brierly、Kohr、 1991）。在资助的最初阶段，六个研究项目和五名研究人员利用了核心。
