Rates are defined as the number of occurrences per second. Percents are the percentage of the session during which the specified behaviour was occurring.
aPercent Successful is defined as the percentage of responses that were coded as successful.
RSB, repetitive and stereotypic behaviour; *p < 0.05; see text for more precise tail probabilities.
