Response-contingent electric shock was evaluated in a laboratory and criterion situation before using it to eliminate infrequent and unpredictable biting and destructive acts from the repertoire of a retarded adolescent. Although the initial results were dramatic, the effects of shock were highly discriminated and the therapeutic objectives were not accomplished. The study demonstrates the power and some limitations of shock punishment and is presented so that others will be better prepared for problems that may arise before the goals of a program involving shock punishment will be realized.
在将反应依赖电击（Response-contingent electric shock）用于消除智障青少年偶发和不可预测的咬人和破坏行为之前，我们在实验室和标准情境下对其进行了评估。尽管最初的结果引人注目，但电击的效果存在高度歧视性，治疗目标并未实现。本研究展示了电击惩罚的力量和一些局限性，并提出了这一研究，以便其他人在实现涉及电击惩罚的项目目标之前，能够更好地应对可能出现的问题。
