Two mentally retarded subjects with language deficits participated. A say-do-report correspondence training was implemented to break the functions of present conditions given by a long history of contingencies maintaining chronic inadequate patterns of behavior. The say-do-report procedure was implemented following a multiple baseline design across two behaviors in one subject and in an AB design for the other. During baseline, all possible social contingencies maintaining the inadequate behaviors were eliminated. Promising or saying what a subject would do was then implemented and followed by the differential reinforcement of say-do correspondence reports. All behaviors changed and were maintained at an appropriate level, even after eliminating the components involved in the say-do-report procedure, that is, the reports, the extra consequences, and even the promise. Results are discussed in the context of verbal behavior altering the function of present conditions in subjects with limited verbal repertory, as well as in the context of new applications to make a difference in chronic behaviors.
两名有语言缺陷的智障受试者参与了研究。实施了一种说-做-报告对应训练，以打破由长期维持慢性不适当行为模式的偶发事件所赋予的当前条件的功能。说-做-报告程序在一名受试者的两种行为上采用多基线设计实施，在另一名受试者上采用AB设计实施。在基线期，消除了所有维持不适当行为的可能的社会偶发事件。然后实施让受试者承诺或说出自己会做什么，接着对说-做对应报告进行差别强化。即使在消除了说-做-报告程序中涉及的成分，即报告、额外后果甚至承诺之后，所有行为都发生了改变并维持在适当水平。研究结果在言语行为改变言语储备有限的受试者当前条件功能的背景下进行了讨论，同时也在对慢性行为产生影响的新应用背景下进行了讨论。
