TY - JOUR AU1 - HUTT, CORINNE AU2 - VAIZEY, M. JANE AB - IN a study of the social behaviour of different groups of children, one of the aspects selected for specific investigation was the effect of group density. In view of the findings from animal studies, it was hypothesized that increasing group density would have adverse effects on the nature and frequency of social encounters, and that these effects would differ according to the personality of the subject. Furthermore, if earlier hypotheses regarding the physiological activation of autistic1,2 and brain-damaged3 children are correct, these two groups of children might be expected to manifest, in exaggerated form, the reactions of introverted or relatively inhibited individuals and extraverted individuals, respectively, in the normal population.
