A target behavior program, structured within a token economy project, was implemented to modify the behavior of an institutionalized patient who exhibited excessive rates of crying and no smiling responses. To affect both responses concurrently, token costs were made contingent upon crying and token payments and/or social reinforcements were provided for smiling. The results indicated both the feasibility of eliminating "anxiety-depression" within an institutional environment and the efficacy of the treatment procedures 14 months after discharge.
一个目标行为程序,在代币经济项目的结构内实施,旨在改变一个表现出过度哭泣和无微笑反应的住院患者的行为。为了同时影响这两种反应,代币的成本取决于哭泣,而微笑则会得到代币支付和/或社会强化。结果表明,在机构环境中消除“焦虑-抑郁”是可行的,并且在出院后 14 个月时治疗程序是有效的。
