Daytime incontinence is a major problem for retarded children. A training procedure for eliminating this problem should be facilitated by an apparatus that provided the trainer with an immediate signal when the child voided so that the trainer could react immediately. Two apparatuses were developed for this purpose: a toilet-chair apparatus to signal proper toileting and a portable pants-alarm apparatus to signal wetting of the pants. A reprimand was given when pants wetting occurred whereas positive reinforcement was given for proper toileting. Results with four profoundly retarded children indicated the reliability of the apparatuses in practice and the effectiveness of a toilet training program that used the two apparatuses.
白天遗尿对于弱智儿童来说是一个主要问题。消除这一问题的训练程序应该由一种仪器来辅助,当孩子排尿时,仪器可以立即给训练者一个信号,以便训练者能立即做出反应。为此目的开发了两种仪器:一种是便椅仪器,用来发出正确如厕的信号;另一种是便携式裤子警报仪器,用来发出裤子湿了的信号。当裤子湿了时,会给予责备,而当正确如厕时,则给予积极的强化。对四个严重弱智儿童的结果表明,这两种仪器在实践中的可靠性,以及使用这两种仪器的如厕训练计划的有效性。
