The purpose of this study was to compare two methods designed to produce tic reduction in 4 children with Tourette's syndrome. Specifically, a verbal instruction not to engage in tics was compared to a verbal instruction plus differential reinforcement of zero-rate behavior (DRO). Results showed that the DRO-enhanced procedure yielded greater reductions in tic frequency.
本研究的目的是比较两种旨在减少4名患有妥瑞氏综合征儿童抽搐症状的方法。具体而言，将“不要出现抽搐”的口头指令与口头指令加零频率行为区别强化法（DRO）进行了比较。结果显示，DRO强化程序在降低抽搐频率方面效果更佳。
