Table 1. Key Concepts.
Cause of disorder | Intervention outcomes | Interventions in developmental models | Types of simulated interventions |
---|---|---|---|
Monogenic (single cause) | Does the intervention generalize beyond the treated items to other items or skills? | Does intervention improve performance on the training set? | Behavioral (add new items to/change frequency distribution of training set) |
Polygenic (multiple causes) | Is there maintenance of gains after the intervention ceases? | Does intervention improve performance on the generalization set (novel items) | Computational (alter the computational properties of the learning mechanisms) |
Compensatory (encourage alternate mechanisms/pathways to acquire target behaviors) |
