Abstract
A method of adapting an observation room to record a child''s position in the room and to give an index of the amount of locomotion was described. The adaptation consisted of under-carpet pressure mats, linked electronically to digital counters. This recording system showed a highly significant correlation with observational measurements of the same aspects of behavior. It has potential as an aid in the diagnosis of abnormal behavior states.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
