The clinical efficacy of a contingency management program for treating a developmentally disabled girl referred for telephone phobia was evaluated using both a multiple baseline across settings design and a reversal design. A descriptive analysis indicated that the 'phobia' was in all probability an operant, rather than a respondent. The treatment, consisting of differential reinforcement, extinction and time-out, was effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of disruptive behaviors in response to telephone usage. Follow-up assessments at 1, 3, and 6 months revealed that treatment gains were maintained.
采用跨情境多基线设计和反转设计，对一项用于治疗因电话恐惧症而转诊的发育障碍女孩的应急管理计划的临床疗效进行了评估。描述性分析表明，“恐惧症”很可能是一种操作性行为，而非应答性行为。由差别强化、消退和暂停组成的治疗方法，在减少因使用电话而产生的破坏性行为的频率和强度方面是有效的。在1个月、3个月和6个月时进行的随访评估显示，治疗效果得到了维持。
