A single-subject ABA reversal design was applied to evaluate the effectiveness of a limited 8-s safety belt reminder system and two modified reminder systems (a delayed and second reminder) to increase the safety belt use of 13 drivers. The research was conducted with a specially equipped research vehicle that permitted the manipulation of different safety belt reminder stimuli and the unobtrusive recording of a driver's belt use. For 2 subjects, the limited 8-s reminder increased safety belt use. For another 2 subjects, the second reminder markedly increased belt use. Some subjects were uninfluenced by the reminder systems presented; others always buckled up during both baseline and intervention conditions. The approach and results are discussed with regard to the application of behavior analysis methodologies (e.g., cumulative records) and principles (e.g., schedules of reinforcement) to advance the utility and investigation of safety belt reminder systems.
采用单被试 ABA 反转设计来评估有限的 8 秒安全带提醒系统和两种改进的提醒系统（延迟和第二次提醒）对提高 13 名驾驶员安全带使用的有效性。该研究使用了专门配备的研究车辆，该车辆允许对不同的安全带提醒刺激进行操作，并对驾驶员的安全带使用情况进行非干扰式记录。对于 2 名受试者，有限的 8 秒提醒增加了安全带的使用。对于另外 2 名受试者，第二次提醒明显增加了安全带的使用。一些受试者不受呈现的提醒系统的影响；其他受试者在基线和干预条件下始终系好安全带。该方法和结果讨论了行为分析方法（例如，累积记录）和原则（例如，强化时间表）的应用，以提高安全带提醒系统的实用性和研究。
