We learn from the passage that an autistic child ----.
The Norwegian-born psychologist Lovaas devised
a highly structured form of behaviour modification
called "Applied Behavioural Analysis" (ABA) as an
aid for autistic children. The theory behind ABA
rests on the assumption that autistic children have
inefficient neurocircuits - specifically, connections
that are not as efficient as those found in normal
children. In normal children, a connection may go
from A to B, but in the autistic brain the connection
may go from A to C to D to E before finally
reaching B. Inefficient connections result in more
"noise", which is believed to hinder social and
cognitive development. Lovaas's therapy takes
advantage of the brain's ability to adapt and be
retrained. When people learn a particular skill,
such as throwing a baseball, they are reinforcing
neurocircuits that are specific to that skill. When
autistic children are taught a specific behaviour
through constant repetition, the therapy is training
the neurocircuits to respond in a certain way and
somehow teaching the brain to receive these
signals, which would otherwise be drowned out in
a sea of noise. In order to be effective, Lovaas has
stressed that ABA therapy must be started early,
must be sufficiently intensive, and must be carried
out in part by the parents
