This is the computational model from Warlaumont, A. S. An iterative probabilistic model of speech-related vocalization rate increase via child-caregiver interaction. 

gradualRL.py is the main function that runs the model.

gradualRLrun.py is used to run gradualRL.py.

gradualRLrun_ASDandSES.sh is a shell script that can be executed at the terminal and will run the four main simulation types from the paper.

gradualRLrun_ASDandSES_toofast.sh is a shell script that can be executed at the terminal and will run the super fast learning version of the model that shows positive child contingencies on previous adult response.

You must have Python with the NumPy and matplotlib packages to run these. One way to obtain all 3 is to install Anaconda (http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/index.html). 

gradualRLrun_0_0_1_1_0_0_100.out is the plain text document containing the output of the 100 simuluations modeling the high SES TD group's speech development.

gradualRLrun_0_0_0_0_1_1_100.out is the plain text document containing the output of the 100 simuluations modeling the low SES TD group's speech development.

gradualRLrun_1_1_1_1_0_0_100.out is the plain text document containing the output of the 100 simuluations modeling the high SES ASD group's speech development.

gradualRLrun_1_1_0_0_1_1_100.out is the plain text document containing the output of the 100 simuluations modeling the low SES ASD group's speech development.

gradualRLrun_0_0_1_1_0_0_100_1_p2.out is the plain text document containing the output of the 100 simuluations modeling the high SES TD group's speech development for the "too fast" version.

gradualRLrun_0_0_0_0_1_1_100_1_p2.out is the plain text document containing the output of the 100 simuluations modeling the low SES TD group's speech development for the "too fast" version.

gradualRLrun_1_1_1_1_0_0_100_1_p2.out is the plain text document containing the output of the 100 simuluations modeling the high SES ASD group's speech development for the "too fast" version.

gradualRLrun_1_1_0_0_1_1_100_1_p2.out is the plain text document containing the output of the 100 simuluations modeling the low SES ASD group's speech development for the "too fast" version.
