	Adaptive Behavior - AssessmentPsychology.com
		Behavior problems are much more difficult to quantify than adaptive behaviors are, because they are not very developmental and because their expression varies more from day-to-day and from setting-to-setting.
		Adaptive behavior assessment is also used to determine the type and amount of special assistance that people with disabilities may need.
		Adaptive behavior assessments are often used in preschool and special education programs for determining eligibility, for program planning, and for assessing outcomes.

	FXIC -- Behavior - Adaptive Behavior
		Adaptive behavior refers to behaviors that are seen across contexts and with different people.
		Adaptive behavior skills are usually measured through interviews with a child's parent and/or teacher.
		Some researchers report that, compared to other developmentally disabled populations, children with FXS have adaptive behavior that is as high, or higher than their intellectual abilities, suggesting that they may be able to function better on a day-to-day basis than many IQ tests might suggest.

	Adaptive behavior - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The William Heward book Exceptional Children defines adaptive behavior, as the effectiveness or degree with which the individual meets the standards of personal independence and social responsibility expected of his age and social group (Heward).
		Adaptive behavior changes according to a person’s age, cultural expectations, and environmental demands.
		The adaptive skills exhibited by a person with mental retardation are critical factors in determining the supports he/she requires for success in school, work, community, and home environments.

		This framework, reiterated in 1983, described adaptive behavior limitations consisting of “significant limitations in an individual’s effectiveness in meeting the standards of maturation, learning, personal independence, or social maturity that are expected for his or her age level and cultural group, as determined by clinical assessment and, usually, standardized scales” (Grossman, 1983, p.
		For example, adaptive behavior is defined in terms of effectively coping with common life demands and the ability to meet the standards of personal independence for a particular age group with a specific sociocultural background.
		The dimensions of adaptive behavior and social skills in the Gresham and Elliott model are surprisingly similar to the 10 adaptive skill areas in the 1992 AAMR definition of mental retardation.

	EC-K1 Lesson 6: Development of Adaptive Behavior
		Adaptive behavior is a broad domain of development that refers to a child’s ability to function independently in his or her environment.
		Adaptive skills are developmental, which means that a child gains skills with age and experience.
		Adaptive behaviors typically become more complex as children age, and more is expected of them.

	ICAP/SIB-R Adaptive Behavior (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Behaviors that interfere with a client's day-to-day activities or with the activities of those around him/her should be rated as behavior problems, not as a lack of adaptive behavior.
		If the last month is atypical of year-round behavior, as might be the case for certain mental health problems that currently are (or are not) in remission, intensity of supervision may need to vary throughout the year to match the behavior.
		The client's adaptive behavior should be rated based upon his ability to perform tasks independently, not upon the level of supervision necessitated by his behavior problem.

		Behavior problems, often called maladaptive behavior, is behavior that is undesirable, socially unacceptable, or that interferes with the acquisition of desired skills or knowledge.
		This behavior is then rated according to frequency of occurrence and severity, and the respondent is asked about how the problem behavior is usually managed by other people when it occurs.
		The response generally made by others to the problem behavior is of considerable value in assessing the dynamics of that behavior and the appropriateness of its consequence in the subject's environment.

	Concepts: Adaptive
		When an adaptive system responds to a change in its environment, part of the response is a change in the more persistent aspects of the system.
		It can also be said to be adaptive, because changes in the environment or in the system itself (changes in the outside temperature, opening the windows, changes in the furnace efficiency) change its behavior.
		Since goal directed behaviors are generally associated with adaptation, the concept of the will to survive in animals plays an important role in conceptual aspects of evolutionary theory.

	Comparing Adaptive and Maladaptive Behavior Problems Scales
		Adaptive behaviors are everyday living skills such as walking, talking, getting dressed, going to school, going to work, preparing a meal, cleaning the house, etc. They are skills that a person learns in the process of adapting to his/her surroundings.
		Behavior problems, often called maladaptive behaviors, are behaviors that interfere with everyday activities.
		The purpose of measuring adaptive and maladaptive behavior is usually either for diagnosis or for program planning.

	Adaptive Behavior - Special issue on Language acquisiton and evolution
		This special issue is inspired by a recent Symposium on Language Evolution and Acquisition held at the 2004 Human Behavior and Evolution Society conference, and focuses on the relation between language origins, acquisition and evolution.
		Two main themes to be explored are how could language acquisition mechanisms have evolved, and the impact that particular acquisition skills may have had on the evolution of language itself.
		Adaptive Behavior solicits papers that present synthetic studies that explicitly focuses on the interface between language origins and/or evolution, and language acquisition.

	Idaho National Laboratory - Adaptive Robotics - Behavior-Based Robotics
		Although many hope for a future when intelligent systems will be able to model human-like behavior accurately, they insist that this high-level behavior must be allowed to emerge from layers of control built from the bottom up.
		While some skeptics argue that a strict behavioral approach could never scale up to human modes of intelligence, others argued that the bottom-up behavioral approach is the very principle underlying all biological intelligence.
		The sub-sections which follow explain the roots of behavior based robotics, how it rose as a counter to the symbolic, deliberative approach of classical AI and how it has come to be a standard approach for developing autonomous robots.

		The Center for Adaptive Behavior and Cognition explores cognitive strategies (including social and emotional components) with which people and other animals make judgments and decisions in the face of uncertain situations.
		This interdisciplinary group, spanning the fields of psychology, computer science, economics, mathematics, anthropology, and biology, uses a variety of methods to analyze the building blocks of simple heuristics and the way they allow good decisions to be reached even with limited time and knowledge.
		Our adaptive perspective looks at the links between decision makers and their environments, for instance, how exploiting information structures in natural environments can lead to faster decisions, or how communicating information in different representational forms can foster the audience's understanding of risk and uncertainty.

	NEL, Is ADHD adaptive or non-adaptive behavior? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The evolutionary approach to the issue of ADHD derives from the assumption that what is regarded as a pathological phenomenon today was once an adaptive response to the conditions of life in the ancestral stages of human development.
		Crawford and Salmon's conclusion is that what is adaptive in one type of environment may no longer be adaptive in another.
		In sum, I think that we may turn Crawford and Salmon's argument around and say that ADHD is an acceptable adaptive behavior today, whereas in prehistory it was entirely non-adaptive.

	A General-Purpose LMS Adaptive Engine in Java
		The first lesson, entitled Adaptive Filtering in Java, Getting Started, introduced you to the topic by showing you how to write a Java program to adaptively design a time-delay convolution filter with a flat amplitude response and a linear phase response using an LMS adaptive algorithm.
		As a result of that approach, it was a little difficult to separate the adaptive behavior of those sample programs from the behavior designed solely to manage the data and to display the results.
		The error value is then used in a classical LMS adaptive algorithm to adjust the coefficients of the convolution filter.

		Current work is focused on extending this approach to more sophisticated forms of visually-guided behavior and learning, to the integration of multiple behaviors, and to the control of more physically realistic peripheries.
		We have studied the general dynamical behavior of small CTRNNs, and have analyzed the operation of a variety of evolved CTRNNs, especially walking circuits.
		In addition, we have been known to dabble in a variety of other areas, including models of the neural and biomechanical basis of behavior in simpler animals (Computational Neuroethology), models of biological development, and applications of AI to the generation of music by computer.

	Adaptive behavior and coordination failure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		While it is tempting to assume that behavior will converge to an efficient equilibrium in situations with multiple Pareto ranked equilibria, doing so ignores the role of historical accident and dynamic process in producing mutually consistent behavior.
		Models of adaptive behavior often predict barriers that separate the space of outcomes into regions in which behavior does and regions in which behavior does not converge to an efficient equilibrium.
		While adaptive behavior leads to mutually consistent behavior, the mutually consistent behavior that emerges is path dependent.

		To better understand the behavioral architecture of a low-level animal, scientists severed the connection between a frog’s spine and brain.
		If the spine is stimulated in two points simultaneously it is possible to combine behaviors and produce a more complex form of behavior.
		Instead of careful planning based on modeling, high-level behavior such as flocking or foraging can be built by blending low-level behaviors such as dispersion, aggregation, homing and wandering.
