Three-chamber sociability test in autism spectrum disorder research
From 2021 to 2025, 131 animal research papers on autism spectrum disorder mentioned the three-chamber sociability test in their title or abstract.
That is 5.0 times the 26 papers of 2011 to 2015. Between the same two periods, the papers on autism spectrum disorder that mention any of the 90 tests we count grew more slowly, to 3.5 times as many.

Which species the papers used
Each bar is a share of the 131 papers from 2021 to 2025. A paper can use more than one species, so the shares can add to more than 100%.
Species
“Other animals” counts papers that use none of the species this chart names.
Tests mentioned alongside the three-chamber sociability test
Each bar is one test, with how many of the 131 papers also mention it, and what share that is. Of these papers, 37 (28%) mention no other test.

Which papers count
A paper counts here when it is animal research, mentions the three-chamber sociability test in its title or abstract, and studies autism spectrum disorder.
We tell whether a paper studies autism spectrum disorder from its MeSH terms, the subject headings the National Library of Medicine adds when it indexes a paper. For a paper without MeSH terms, PubTator 3, NCBI's text-mining service, has to find the disease in the title or abstract. A paper can count under more than one disease model. A paper that mentions the test only in its methods is missed, so the count runs low.
The page on autism spectrum disorder research names the subject headings we count as autism spectrum disorder. Download the test list for the search terms we used for the three-chamber sociability test, or the paper list for the PubMed ID of every paper behind these counts. Our main page, Behavioral tests in published research, has the full method and each source's terms of use.
